ah interesting.... atleast no rollercoaster on the heatpipes...........
It's also missing a lot of bling features off the Stryker and rear eSATA ports, but otherwise look identical.
Interesting times ahead :
eVGA 680i vs ROG Stryker vs P5N32-E SLI
Decisions, decisions...
the abit IN9 32x Max looks way better than any asus 680i board

HAHA Yeah.. apparently the Abit IN9 32X-MAX "CAN" do 650MHz FSB... according to Abit.. and can reach 2800FSB with "extra" cooling.. haha
I'd not HAHA just yet. It won't be 650 MHz but it for sure will be way better than "regular" EVGA boardQuote:

Not a bad price though.
What does ROG mean? Rip Off Gamers?
LOL "Republic of Gamers"..
BUT! RIP OF GAMERS sounds about right!! try tell ASUS that!
Those high FSB claims make me eager to see what it can really do.
$269 at XPCGear http://www.xpcgear.com/asusp5n32esli.html
can anybody find the sli molex on the asus board or is it that the asus doesn't need one?
The Abit has 1333 strap.
Hopefully we can mess with the NB timings to work up the performance of said strap a bit, eh. Also, -external- CMOS clear.
Unless I am reading something completely wrong, feel free to slap me.
Where did you read this?Quote:

yeah. and since these appear to be close to reference boards and probably using pretty much the same bios, how does anyone figure that any of these boards will be better than any other? only review i have read is the hardocp review on the evga, and kyle wrote it was one of the best enthusiast boards he ever used, and is using it in his own pc.Quote:

It's because of the 1333 strap, like 965.
Also note the Abit is not *really* a reference board like eVGA, etc. Same chipset ofc, but lots of differences.
The board above says it supports 1333 strap as well.
