Am I the only one that thinks that the pinotnoir looks like s**t? I mean, it just gives the impression of being cheap; and is not tasteful at all.

Is the Striker Extreme II can work with Tri - SLI or Quad SLi ???
i don't think that waterblock will do much either
IIRC nVidia's only quad will be with the 9800GX2 cards, and the last I read was that it was "iffy". Tri-SLi should be no issue w/ the Striker, if the nVidia drivers work correctly.Quote:

No,probably the normal 300€-350€
nF790i boards with all these tinky winky schminkies on board will cost those 500$. And average nF790i without useless schminkies will cost about 300$.
Source??500€ for a desktop motherboard is too muchQuote:

Striker II Formula cost 350$ and thats only a tiny step over nF680i. nF790i will be beast, with strong memory controller and everything high end board/chipset needs.
it's the 18th now (somewhere)... can we get our results now???
OBR, where are you?
my striker II extreme retail is on the way to me :D
i think it arrived tomorrow.
Well, initial prices are sometimes high, but look here.Quote:

God, I wish I could stop myself :(
No. It may mean that you have to wait until Kaspar or someone else is able to release some of the more comprehensive overclocking capabilities of the chipset, but I'm sure that Anandtech and others will have reviews up in a few hours.Quote:

Things I like from current reviews I have seen : pretty low NB and SB temps, performance is pretty average but total wattage draw is pretty low again...
sad: again funky mem dividers to be used to get max performance...
where is this available in the US?
The reference 790i Ultra boards are available at Newegg.
Newegg eVga and XFX 790i Ultra's
but what about the Asus??? can't find it anywhere
maybe I should just go for the EVGA...
Yeah me too... Just wondering which will be better the Asus or the eVGA.. I know the Asus board has better parts, but in the end it is about the OCing.Quote:

my striker ii extreme arrived today :D
but with bios 0402.
if anyone find bios 0507 or 0504 please contact me.
thanks.
These are out in Australia for AU$699
Thats around US$629 ladies and gentlemen.
Message to Asus: Thanks for the insult, you're a disgrace.
600$ for a motherboard?
...
well, at least there are better alternatives for the more price conscious. This is getting a little too crazy for my tastes.
