ASUS Striker II Formula(780i) Picture

I really think so many posts here which are irrelevant, jeez guys if we judge boards by the way they look and not by performance, not even have a clue what the board is in fact about... seems to me some Asus haters just post absolute nonsense... would be nice if we could stay on topic and get some progress on the performance and why these boards were designed... for us to torture them !!! and not to read through a 500 post topic with 400 usuless posts... seems a loss of time to me...

Striker formula looks better than Striker, too bad they didn't include a fuzion block on this one ( to nibble of some important degrees ) that would have been fab !! keep it going pmp !!

Striker II Formula looks like Striker Extreme should be one year ago :)

looks promising!

a big brick made of alu :ROTF:

asus designs get more and more retarded, i just ordered a abit x-38, this one got a nice heatsink design with lots of thin fins and not these 2mm thick stuff adding nothing but weight :shakes:

If it's still the old copper plated stuff it won't weigh much... and you are judging a board by it's looks, not how it performs or what it is designed for... I don't nag about the gigabyte's united colors of benetton scheme... if the board delivers that's what it's all about...

Thats what I thought, or as school systems or something, where little brats have a tendancy to take RAM home (I'm not joking either sadly)...

While I still don't like the idea of this new heat sink design for the striker II (mainly because it almost looks impossible to put after market waterblocks or something on) with any luck it might actually work alot better than the 2 previous 680i boards from asus.

I've been following this thread for a while...this board is now listed on the ASUS Global site.

They are starting to have way to many left field innovations where motherboards are concerned, and I don't think its just ASUS. Like why the hell would you want to "step up" to the next processor, when anyone who can use the basic settings in the BIOS can just make their processor scream much faster than that?

Theyre make way to many "easy" overclock solutions instead of just incuding a manual or link to a website that explains how to overclock you PC and manually get the best preformance out of it.

I also sure as hell hope that the Supreme FXII is alot better than the first one.

I think like the previous Striker the best to features for an overclocker is the switch so you dont have to pull out your battery or jump the pins (which is a pain in the bum where mines located behind my pump)

And I also like the OC profiles. I have one for summer and one for winter where I can get away with higher settings and frequencies because its much colder. (Being summer and my room has no air con I wouldn't even turn my PC on today 42 degrees celcius, but being in a bungalo the PC really heats it up quick, so I'd expect about 46 if PC was on)

I just hope they get the bios sorted out so we can get some yorks overclocking well enough on the to make them a worthy 3d Benchmarking contender.
