I actually like the look of this better than the Deluxe. Now a countdown for the EK full cover block. :D

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!!!! :eek:
I was going to get the Formula one this month - by selling 4gb of my RAM and My Asus M4a89GTD - lol, hope I can still it afford it! :)
but hell, i'm defo waiting for this baby!!! Hurry up Asus! :clap:
Anyone noticed that the Extreme isn't anymore on the ASUS site?
I wonder if they will ever bring this out, as in 6-8 months it will be time for the AM3+ platform anyway and these high ends will be out of favor.
Think he meant the proper product page, it was up a couple of days ago at

Jep, that's what I ment Wez;)
Ah, didn't realise that there is this interest thread around (found this while searching on Hydra), anyway got the retail box sample a few days ago. NDA for numbers is still 20th though.
You can click on my VRZ thread for more photos, enjoy. :)

Does it suffer vdroop like the other asus boards mate?
Also interested if Bus Speed jumps around as much as the 890's - both M4a89GTDPro AND Crosshair IV formula cause CPU to jump around nearly 50Mhz! (when using 20x multi :P )
Don't think we are supposed to be showing shots of that board yet although I could be wrong ;)
And that looks so eerily familiar... got to be deja vu. :D

namegt: and sometimes changes with OC potencial CPU here against Formula?
Yeah we wants to see high clocks here :D
but with this board, thinking, is possible break some 3D AMD records

hydra X-MOD
Mainboard interesting:p:
Hydra chipset to support slots?
I think all the slots available for PCI-E ...:rolleyes:
According to the bundled printed manual, slots 2, 4 & 5 support Hydra while slots 1 & 3 support native Crossfire without any potential Hydra overhead.
PS: Just checked the Asus ftp server, again still empty save for the sole BIOS release.

I don't like that fat heatsink. I bet it retains more heat than it dissipates.
Simplified summary of PCI-e slot usage
(hope I got it correct)
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/68f8e2fd.jpg
A - ATI
N - nVidia
X - miXed
Max. video card modes
1 card - x16
2 cards - x16 x16
3 cards - x16 x16 x16
4 cards - x16 x16 x8 x8
With 3 or 4 video cards installed, slot 3 can still support another card in x1 mode.
Makes me want to sell my Formula for the Extreme! Oh man!
