That MB looks better than the rest out there IMO.

That board is a dream for phasechange! Nice wide open socket area at least compared to most of the other conroe boards :banana:Quote:

i just read the fine print and guess what i found at the bottom of the abit site about the IN9 32X-MAX.
"If you think you can tame this board, then you should definitely own one. We have 200 motherboards ready as a limited time offer available at this e-bay store. Click here to be one of the first 200 people to pre-order this incredible motherboard."
Ditto :clap: :banana:Quote:

"ABIT are looking to release their IN9 32X-MAX motherboard to the world sometime in Q1 and we can’t wait to get our hands on it for testing!"
Can you wait that long?
What are the Max. voltages the ABit can supply?
vDimm, vNB, vCore?
Id also like to know the max-voltages as well.
And if the max FSB is 333 it makes me wonder about some of these 680i boards, maybe their using a old bios like for the 590 or something.
Layout looks nice though, think i like it a slight better then the striker, depends on the volts and bios settings really. As easy as i could mod the volts, i think if your paying 300+ for a motherboard now a days, at least make it so i dont have the mod it.
Too bad that every 680i m/b out there (eVGA, Asus, Abit) follows NV's reference design. Where will someone put a pci soundcard if having a wc'ed SLI setup?
Don't bother answering... :p:

if he's bsing I say ban him (just kidding)! I want this board or the asus badly....
mmmmmmmmmmmm; i wanted to try an abit board last time but went DFI in the end. But as of now this ABit board looks as attactive as Jessica Alba in SinCity (woof)
yes i would like confirmation of MAX fsb for this abit board; i'm assuming/hoping atm that most or all 680i chippies will perform well ie. 530-590 voltage dependant?)
depends when it becomes available in Aussieland. i like stable overclocking; i want my 680i...asus striker looks like a mess of heatpipes. DFI will be interesting if it ever appears.........
edit mylast; i read review of evga board that got to 533fsb MAX. (not stable)
another review posted stable 506fsb (so it looks like 500+ fsb is the MAX i've seen reviewed
nice one there... anyone knows the price?Quote:

just pick this one up for cheap, well i think its a good deal.

For the people who was asking about the 200 boards from the ebay store, i saw it as well, it was up for about 36 hours but they took it down now. Heres where it WAS posted, Old Link
At the very bottom, it DID say something about taming it and 200 boards at there ebay store.........personally i never knew nor really beleave that they had or have a ebay store, thats just dumb imo.
Long story short, he wasnt lieing, it was there for a short time.
