Yup totally agree with you here. They pioneer some pretty damn cool technologies (Soundstorm, Dual Channel DDR, ActiveArmour etc. together with the new features you mentioned on nF5xx). However, none of them seem to work as promised, and as you said stability is a major issue.Quote:

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it...active SB okay but that AND a passive NB...?!Quote:

I own an Abit AN8 32X and the chipset closest to the cpu socket was cooled with nothing more than a heatsink, no fan.

The above link is to a pic of the AN8 32X. Note the small, passive heatsink on that chipset.

The 570 SLI-IE is another C19 and yet, it's in the nForce 5xx series, so what's there to be excited about, when we know the outcome of such product will be?
Please please please let me know if this goes over a 350FSB!!!
from what we know so far, it doesn't really. the ES of this doesn't realyl break 350 and the production ASUS P5NSLI Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition doesn't either according to anandtech.Quote:

Could it all be happening over? I think it could. Ati didn't learn much from last time did they... tsk tsk *sigh*. Well, at least they make great cards. Why though, WHY must they always be in the shadow of nvidia!?
I wonder if amd will give them the push they need to come ahead, and crush the one that consumed 3dlabs.
Btw, im an ex-owner of 4 nvidia cards, 0 ati cards, with a 7900GT waiting to arrive. Go figure huh.
.....will be 346FSB..... ;)Quote:

If you're referring to nvidia, then I think you mean 3DFX. ;)
hoho...philips , you should work overnight for this review :D
Hmmm, this might be the board that my friend wants. Though I'm still waiting for the RD600 before I make my choice...
JUST MY OPINION: rd600 will fnck 590 up.
hi,philps,which wed u first po in china ?It's hard to find a proxy……
Gee i wonder why......coming from a guy who owns a ATI video card.....*caugh* (fanboy)Quote:

If you're able please test this quad sli config w/ 2560x1600 resolution. I'm real interested in this as what you have is pretty much my next system. :)Quote:

What happened to the review.........or was this a FAKE!?!?!.......doesnt take 5 days to do a review.
i think he didnt post because he couldnt get much out of the board..
thats my take at least.
I will have this board in my hands tomorrow. Hopefully I can push it beyond 333FSB.
