This board is Awesome.
Except the price, 300 euro is just too much money for a motherboard.
I'd rather wait at the RD600's boards till I buy new hardware (gfx and mobo).
-one other point; you say that the pc didnt boot with ur gskill memory at default Vdimm, which is 1.8V. I have got the same memory, and it boots well at defaults.
Or does the bios set it manually to highest freq (400= more volt)?
Nice Board. nice oc
I dont really have a answer for you, it could be that my particular ram just takes a bit more to boot, i beleave its 1.9v for mine.Quote:

I cant answer that right now, i dont own a quad core right now as i would have very little use for one until more software becomes multi-threaded. Now if someone wanted to give me one to test, well then, i wouldnt refuse :), cant blame me for trying hehe.Quote:

so DOES it come with temperature probes in the bundle?
Yeap it sure does, comes with 3 or 4 of them, although i didnt hook them up, my fan controllers have 8 of them and even then i only use 2, and a special one for water temps for video cards.Quote:

my board has arrived, I will be doing my ususal orthos blend drill with it this weekend, I wanna see if it'll upstage my infinity...
I think I'm gonna have to hack the heatpipes though, I have a custom acrylic mounting for my ss, the clearance is gonna be tight...

If you do, please cut them pipes open and tell us if ASUS finally deceided to use wicked pipes that actually contain liquid.Quote:

all ASUS pipes I have seen cut, had no wick nor liquid in them.
just curious, cause no liquid=no evap :slapass: = no workie upside-down (or rather no worky at all past the actual sinks)

just got stock notice at zip also and ordered up. I'll be happy to get past this evga even though the striker is overpriced, it's worth it to me.

I've had it on preorder for a while now and it came through yesterday.
Just a quick question here, if I use something like arcronis or ghost and copy my current raid array (from an intel chipset) to a single sata hard drive, will the new board be able to read the installation?
I'm thinking of porting everything over and then doing a repair install.

Be sure to use the 0505 BIOS. ;)Quote:

The bios that ships with the board is 0302 and this is the only bios rev on Asus download site atm. :fact:
Actually the bios that my board was shipped with was 0202, i updated mine to the 0302 soon as i installed windows though, never actually tested the 0202, but i have it saved still.Quote:

These things are *EXTREMELY* hard to get right now (hence the high prices). Since launch, I've gotten very few, and it's sporadic when they do show up. I'm guessing there will be more wide-spread availability in mid December.
