When i order mine I will still use my 840D EE until Conroe is available.
Mine is marked 'shipped' at ewiz! Ordered this morning...
mine too, can't wait
Mine shipped to!! I should have it on Friday.
I ordered mine last night at almost midnight...it's shipped :D
:clap: Ditto here. Shipped! :banana:
Is it just me who thinks that $235 is too much for a mobo ?
I think it's a ton for a mobo, but I don't think we'll be seeing any top of the line boards for much cheaper than that. I'm curious as to what the boards with RD600 will be costing
Have you jad experience with MIPS blocks? Are the bases made out of copper or alum?Quote:

The fact that msot of these boards have so many parts connected through heatpipes so its not one piece that neads to be water cooled but many, makes me want to avoid chipset cooling (unless it makes a major difference in oc (100mhz + or maybe 200mhz+))
any previews of this board?.. i'm thinking about placing my order. received the $235 quote as well when i went through froogle, and it was $242 without froogle.

CPU waterblocks (Swiftech Storm) fits snugly on this board, leaving a tiny bit just over the capacitators around the CPU socket. Not a problem!
HDDs, motherboard & Pentium D 805, very el-cheapo, but whatever:

Running currently at 3.7GHz on stock volts, no internet yet though so I have to transfer stuff between the computers with a USB stick. One thing is funny though, stock SPI time was 47s, and when the system is OC'ed to 3.7Ghz the PI time is INCREASED to over 1 MINUTE. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I don't understand what. I even lowered the timings which should give better times in SPI. But obviously something is wrong...
I have updated to the latest bios, all drivers installed and so forth...running very smooth.
Now I just need a Conroe and the system is almost complete :)

Nice! If I go 975, it will be this board or the MSI 975. Still unsure with the prospect of the Intel 590 and rd600 forthcoming.
trying to get the perfect board since I went through these socket 939s.
Asus a8n (2)
DFI nf4 lp SLI-DR (2)
Asus a8n32
Asus a8r32 (current)
MSI k8n Diamond Plus (current)
I am really interested in how they all over clock.
u mean nforce 590?
anyway hows the OC feature? i jus order it from newegg ( lol ), nut not sure about its ocing features. does it have like options for vcore vdimm vmch ...
Yeah, I meant to write Nvidia Intel 590. They are both 590 for AMD and Intel, that is why I was trying to differentiate the two.Quote:

YOu are lucky you are getting it at that price.Quote:

wow how bout in china or taiwan. lol i wanna know so that i feel much better about this deal ($235 usd) lol.Quote:

Well that was the pre-order price. Not sure if the price has dropped since then. I will find out today or tomorrow.Quote:

it says they still have 45 left in stock at newegg!
screw nforce they are proven to be slower then 975
readem and weep full house of slowness
I wouldn't touch a Nforce with a 10 foot pole if you want to go c2d. Face it nforce is for AMD, not Intel.
