You are right, but Im not the kind of person that mods mobos to use LN2 on them :)

As long as it gives me a decent OC and is not problematic with RAM Im ok :)

EDIT: BTW, I just read in another Pinot Noir topic that this board says ROG CONCEPT on top so there is a little chance that it might never go retail????? :S

Eventually, report me bugs... :)

Asus Striker II Extreme aviable now in most german shops, but > 300€ for a motherboard is crazy.. :hitself:

Let's wait and see if price drops and the retail ones will clock as good as all the samples we see around here on xs.

Which other manufactures announced a 790i board? Can only find the Asus at the moment.

talkign about DDR3 ram which one is a good clocker in the medium price range ? I heard good stuff about Corsairs clocking to almost 2000mhz...

I am wondering what my Crucial sticks will do with this board when it comes out on Tuesday here is California...

Hey all of you current Striker II Extreme owners. Did anyone clean the N/S Chipset areas with AS5 or MX-2? I am wondering if it is needed with this board?

Depending on how much my local stores will charge on this Striker I may wait tell I see some benches on the eVGA as well before I spend my dough...

I still don't see them anywhere, you figure it's 1:15 am there should be something, right?
