It's not that you can use it yet anyway without the chips to go with it.

Now that is respectful, and is what I would expect. It's not cheap, but fair for a initial release price. I would be willing to pay 350 for that board. I've seen prices of 5-600 US dollars for that same board overseas when converted from Euros to US and it's why I posted what I did.

I've seen some prices on this stuff that is not just rediculous, it's actually insulting. Most of us here know what this stuff costs or can guess in the ballpark. It can't be misprints, becasue I've seen mnay different places doing this.

From what I've seen here the prices don't seem to be too bad, but I haven't really been able to find much here in the US. It seems like the places selling are selling in other countries right now.

Hopefully we'll get a hard release of the boards, RAM, and CPU's on the 17th, and competition will will sqeeze the scams off the Internet.

I just bought i920 for $360 US, P6T for $309 off ebay, both retail versions. with 25% cashback, i hope to get about $165 back in 2 months.

Congrats. I'm standing by on a Rampage II Extreme. It's not avilable yet, but I have it set to e-mail alert.

I'm also looking for the Extreme i965 and have found a couple of deals, but no availability at those places yet either.

The i965 is gonna go for slightly over 1000 dollars so it's not cheap, but it sure beats a QX9650 at 1495 dollars! hehe :D

The Gigabyte x58 is around $360 on Ebay before the MS Cashback rebate. The I7-965 is $1155 before the $200 rebate. Not bad.

I wish MS would get off their butts and offer the live cash back offer to Canadians.

I have been up and running on an i7 940 and the Asus P6T since last friday. Only had time to install the OS, but so far so good. Clocking the part from stock to 3.66 GHz is easy :) will wait till I get those triplechannel kits until I push everything. My current memory is intended for 1.8V...

that is the most greatest bord, great pictures

thanks for the results SF3D .... com on ln2 ! :)

I have one of these in the mail!
How is the grease/heatpad/TIM on the northbridge and southbridge? did you reseat the heatsinks with better grease? or does the northbridge even get as hot as before with the IMC?
