hey does anybody have any info as to when the new 790i ddr3 board will be released??
it should be out the second week of march. that seems to be when everything else is coming out, right after CeBit.

the second week of march is gonna be a big week if everyone keeps to their promises.
nvidia...
9800gx2
790i
?what else?
Intel...
45nm quads
x48
45nm mobile chips
it's not official but i've heard from my reps that it's all true.
i think i heard somethin about an asus formula II extreme being released for the 790i series
No its the Asus Striker Extreme 2. but i dont think the 790i is worth it. DDR3 is way to expensive and i dont think it'll make much of a difference in real gaming
the new quads will benefit from ddr3 but the price is WAY too high. the cheapest i've found ddr3 yet is $239 for a 2x1gig set of g.skill 1333mhz 6-6-6-18 kit. you could get 4 to 8gig's of ddr2 for that price.
asus and nvidia chipsets don't seem to work well together. asus makes some damn good intel chipset boards though.
but soon everything will be ddr3 and they will slowly become affordable just like ddr2 has become.
By the time that happens we'll be on Nforce 8 or Nforce 9 motherboards.
Man i cant wait for those, i wonder what they will look like :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
so when are the new quads due out anyway?? Im due for a good upgrade
2nd week of march. like i said above.

EDIT: I got that voltage from the first page of this thread.
GAR? Is the 1.5cpu/fsb from the original bios?
On another note.
Has anyone tried the EVGA 780i driver update? I tried it the first day i got this board and i lost everything and had to reinstall my os. Not sure what happened there. Any suggestions?
what do you think the price ranges will be?
q9450 ~$330
q9550 ~$590
Anyone know why my cpu core voltage won't go above 1.36? I can set it higher, but it always shows 1.36 in the Current Value column when I go back into Bios.
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

im excited:D
so what is the multiplier 8 at 1333 right? and is this a fixed multiplier?
yup.
i wouldn't think many people could get much past 4ghz on the q9450 though. that would require 500x8 to do 4ghz. most boards start hitting their limit around the 480-520 mark. we'll see though.
but think about it. to even conceive the thought that 4ghz might be possible on air is just crazy. but whats even more crazy is that it just might be possible
Yes. In that picture I've entered the voltage settings, but haven't touched a thing. That voltage in the left column is saved.Quote:
