Looks AweSome........:up::up::up:
Looks like a good board.:up:
It's about time they put some decent cooling on the pwm's. The p35 pro with a q6600 is terrible.
From working with both the Abit and Gigabyte P35 series, I definitely prefer Abit. And the ASUS boards I've tried really weren't all they were cracked up to be.
DFI DK series isn't available here in Aus, so best bang for buck is the IP PRO.... and the 45 looks impressive Mr.Nathan :up:
ps. can it update bios safely thru windows yet :rolleyes:
what happened to IP45 Max ?
+1. Only complaint about my IP35 Pro.Quote:

Any idea of the price point?
Yes mate it is eight phaseQuote:

The thing I most dislike about heatsinks these days--they all have a "top" cover. I think it looks stupid and it interferes with airflow directly on the board. I have a heatsink tower, meaning that on my IP35-E, the northbridge has less airflow. I have a 36cm side fan on my case--meaning that all air flows directly down to the board. I would personally prefer if those "top covers" were removable, since not many enthusiasts seem to be using after-market heatsinks that have air flowing down.

Yeah, one of the reasons I bought the rampage.Quote:

sexy :D
wheres the cmos reset switch? I like it, if I had money to throw around or needed one I'd pick it up. But why are the heat sinks covered with logo things? Can you pop them off easy I rather have some airflow hot them

pci-expres 1x has a terrible layout.

All my boards have fans on both NB and SB and no heat issues.
If you want tgo have that plate for the masses that use the board stock then fine but attach it in a way where it can be removed.
Maybe some nylon hold downs that can be cut and tossed..
Other than that nice looking board..
