I love layout! it's excellent. I hope that all mobo manufacturers will use this design for sAM2+ mobos based on nV's HT3 chipsets like 780a:

nice pic
Its funny cause Nvidia makes some GREAT AMD boards, in fact, probably far better than Intel boards. Great layout, and my god, no need for huge cooling besides one fan. Might be a cool running Nvidia board for once...
lol @ sata port near pci-x1
prolly from chip for eSATA. we've seen this before.Quote:

odd layout for the e-sata, I guess it would vary on case, the CM-690 can use that top most slot since the e-sata slot is on the top of the case, but again, curious layout...Quote:

i'll take 2 :D
Still a bodged solution for PCI-E 2.0.
Come on nVidia...get a move on with the integration!
Wheres the CPU plug?
Those S-ATA ports are a bit random
Do we still need those serial ports in the I/O? relegate them to a PCI backplate, if not removed totally...its the end of 2007!
PCI-E power: Up to 450W (37.5A on the 12V rail) will be drawn through the PCI-E slots themselves....is ALL of that coming from the ATX plug- I dont see any additional power plugs.
the layout isnt without issues, but I like it :yepp:
what I hate, if it's right, that the small heatsink indicates the same bridge chip as the Intel 780i mobo has :down:
Is that a D-sub and a DVI connector on the backplate?
Is this then really the 780a?
Also, with nvidia's tradition, that chipset-cooler will be too hot and too loud.
Me thinks it´s a preview board, and a budget one with integrated, and sli like the 550sli...
I agree, awesome layout. I hope Phenom is worth buying though.
Budget with 3 PCI-Express 16X slots?Quote:

That's just in case you fry your tri-sli setup, you can still run your monitor. Definately seems like a strange setup in many respects. Maybe an early prototype.Quote:

'cos it is reference sample, and NVIDIA will use design for integrated version of their "Series 7" chipset for AMD.Quote:

Placement of the DIMMs I don't like.
They are rubycons, you won't have to worry about those going bad on you.Quote:

I like their AMD 7xx chipset based board better. Yes has heatpipes but I don't mind them any.
