If you think that this is expensive, then what about the Fermi :p.

Good things cost good money, and this is actually significantly cheaper than EVGA's high end FTW WTF BBQ edition motherboards are.

Even 5870s cost around the same, and people dont really complain about graphics card prices that much.

its the same for almost everything....! some parts are exceptional. I agree that good things cost money and all that:yepp: but why should i pay more than double for same piece of hardware that people half-way around the world are getting for a fare price.:shrug: how can u justify this. Tom's had a nice article abt this 2yrs ago..even prices in UK are high comparatively:cool:

Its now listed on Asus' website:

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...ksC&templete=2

So does that mean its released now?

Availability WW in the end of the month.

Kinc, what about ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme ?

when we will see this board in shops ?

Someone said 14th right here:

I want it now :(

Some online stores show ETA 4/30...

Kaspersky is bundled with the board... Now, does this version works with Windows 7? (unlike the previous ROG boards)

When I looked up Kapersky it said it is compatible with Windows 7, but it could be a different version.

I'll assume that they only provide a 1 year license in the box? I'll probably ebay that as I'm fine with both AVG free and Microsoft Security Essentials.

3Dmark Vantage is a great item to bundle :)

I predict next week here in the UK. Anyone else want to have a shot?

lets hope so!

Asus R3E webpage is online: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=jy0uafxYBCrJwksC

I guess release will be soon.

Latest unofficial stock date in the UK from one retailer over the phone is at the end of next week.

Most suppliers here in Norway says 21.04.10-23.04.10 for the Crosshair IV Formula, but they've got no idea about the Extreme. So i would guesstimate around the same dates if not earlier for other parts of the world :)

Same dates for the Rampage III Extreme, but it is not confirmed.

EDIT: Actually, the Rampage III Extreme might be available from Monday next week :) Again, unconfirmed.

Here are our first pictures of the review board we recieved yesterday :)

Thanks. Those are nice prices USD$399. wow!

$399 vs £329 :( :( :(

Cheaper than a Classified and more features to boot, wow! Nice job Asus.

Hmm.. can I get a guaranteed 4.5ghz oc on a 980x with this board + W/C for 24/7h usage ?

I doubt any manufacture will make that guarantee, but it has everything you need to make it happen.

the board has no role in that sort of overclock, all about the chip. any mid-range to high-end X58 can accomplish that with a capable chip.

Why is vince so slow to crack the records using a gtx 480 3oh6. When new NV hardware comes out, he usually the first to kill all records.

From the looks of it, is vince retiring for overclocking?

lol no way bro, think he is saving it for the big get together to commence at his house soon.
