Recieved an abit IN9 32X MAX board the other day :)

Digital PWM for vcore, up to 1.925V, vdimm up to 3.00V, to name a few things.

Some pictures:

No special tweaks were done after a fresh install...
First some stock number for comparison with other NF680i boards.

These OCZ memories plays well with tight timings aswell

Will continue to update the thread as the benching continues.

Had this board on pre-order for ages, so i hope it was worth the wait:D
Is it retail sample?
Crotale can you post some bios shots:D :D

I believe it's a retail board, but it came without the retail package. Will ask them about it.

BIOS shots coming up! :)

Awesome pics and news :)

Any chance you'll be testing fsb/multiplier oc with a QX6x00 cpu?

sweet! keep pushin it!

Marco

nice pics crotale

go for max FSB soon please?

max FSB please ?

Ditto

This board looks good, nice vcore/vdimm

Working my way up, still with stock cooling and available voltages.

A little more CPU speed, Scythe Infinity + YS-Tech 120mm + scandinavian air:

Going higher on the FSB:

Really looking foward to this board.

Havent owned an Abit since my NF7-s. Might buy one of these to show DFI i'm pissed off about the early :banana::banana::banana::banana: support for the 975x/g.

Looks really promising.

Love to see some bios shots when you get the time.

I thought the final board would be blue, but black is nice of course!

I always wondered: Is this board based on the same nvidia refrence board as evga and those are made of? Or is it more of a custom part like the striker?

Real copper heatsinks? :slobber:

Hopefully not the ASUS lets paint the aluminium copper coloured so we can trick our customers trick

the mobo has digital power regulation which is non-reference ;)

ok...i'm starting to drool...i take it the voltages are stable / accurate? (thx crotale for your testing so far btw)

and vdroop?

Yes, any Vdrop noticed ?

Seems a nice board , vdroop tested ?

I'm liking the cmos layout:clap: , kind of like the evga I have which I really like. Also very nice vcore!!:slobber:

bios looks really clean :toast:
looking for a replacement for my THIRD dead asus :mad:

I hope since ABIT was behind some of the other manufacturers with this one, that they used their time wisely and got the bios right. I hope to have a sample within the next week or so.

max fsb from 450 onwards? and also, what straps can you set (its listed in bios, but we want to see the options).

thanks crotale!
