hopefully, from the pics they are tweaking this board to run 8 x 8 for crossfire, cause the chipset fully supports it...
just no board has went that far yet.
be a great reason to go for the ROG series, if they went that extra mile for the board with 8 x 8.
What's the heatsink stuck in between the two PCI-E slots?
I guess that's the "crosslinx"
I've seen some other p35 boards with that as well. hmm interesting
if the chip on the P5K deluxe supposedly supports 8 x 8 why can't they upgrade the bios on the P5K deluxe to support 8 x 8 ?
It requires physical changes in the electronics. Just like how on a lot of the p965 boards that supported 16+4, you had a set of jumpers to change around to make the slot into x4 instead of x1.Quote:

ASUS next term leading mother “Blitz” discovery! ──COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2007 preview (1/2)
Up to COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2007 2 weeks after. ASUS introduced the unpublished product which in the Japanese authorized personnel plans the exhibition with COMPUTEX, also the R.O.G. mother who follows to “Striker” “COMMANDO” appeared.
ASUS on May 25th, advance explanatory meeting of the product which with COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2007 is displayed went in Tokyo. As for being displayed the Intel next term leading chip set “Intel 3” from the series 7 models of the motherboard which loads “Intel P35” “Intel G33”. Among these, from the main stream covers to entry class “the P5K” series has been shipped already at area other than Japan, but Intel P35 mother “Blitz Extreme” of the R.O.G. series “Blitz Formula” in the world for the first time that form and the specifications made clear.
Blitz Formula (DDR2) :

Intel P35 mother “Blitz Extreme” of the R.O.G. series which has become worldwide first announcement (the picture left) with “Blitz Formula” (the picture right), besides the fact that “Extreme” DDR3 correspondence, “Formula” is DDR2 correspondence, almost it possesses the same specifications and function. Seeing with the picture, what it is visible on the southern bridge and between the PCI Express X16 slot is “Cross Linx”.
The HD sound module which is prepared with another baseplate evolves added the noise cutting seal into “SupremeFX II”

Relocating to back panel, to use the CMOS clear button which with the former R.O.G. mother is installed in the baseplate it was easily improved

The POST monitor which with the former R.O.G. mother is in back panel it became easy to see with as an external.

They call it Blitz? That's the German word for lightning.
Interesting how marketing sometimes names things.
What is this chip left from the southbridge and why it is necessary to cool it?
Does this actually mean that this board will do x8-x8 crossfire in "linked" mode??? How is that "watercooling" going to work??? Look's pretty jankey to me....:rolleyes:
I thought they will named "Emperor" or somethings like this lol
there is definately a waterblock on one of those northbridge heatsinks.... at least it looks like it has fittings on the top of it.
i know that board gonna cost a fortune when it comes out,just like the striker did
I just hope it's below $400
Judging from the link u just sent it seems like they need 2 use that crosslinx chip 2 enable 8x 8x.
So i guess this board does support 8x 8x
Like wut Atom said, I hope this board doesn't cost => striker

That looks sick!
That CPU level up is for overclocking for noobish... perfect for me... but the price will be a major problem I guess :rofl:
I'm definitely getting this if it's gonna clock quads well
Looks better than sick!!
So why there is no chipset water cooling for the DDR2 part or it is sold separately !!!!
The watercooler on the chipset looks really nice. Hopefully it is designed the way that it still works ok with the heatpipes and no watercooling gear attached to it.
Too bad the chipset laggs a second PCI-E X16. Otherwise it would bhe the perfect board to get in case it turns out to oc like other P35 boards.
That's what I'm saying! it looks like an attempt to push towards ddr3 imo.Quote:

and crosslinx technology... sounds... amazing.
did they patent it? :D
So asus are using an external chip to split the x16 pci-e from the nb to 2x8 when running dual cards - What kind of impact does the extra chip have on performance when using a single card?
above mentioned external chipQuote:

Yes, but what would the added latency of going through a tunnel chip do for performance?
I want one.. lol

Asus Rocks :clap:
Fusion wb on chipset looks really sick!
The fusion block is a good idea - but - it is interesting that this is the direction that manufacturers are starting to take, the requirement for water cooling. The board does look good tho, I hope it's not got a massive price premium however. With the advent of the x38 chipset with x16 + x16 we should see two tiers of Intel based motherboards that could challenge Nvidias stronghold on the SLi market.
lol loving the cmos clear switch in the back.
I've had one of those for years on my K7S5A _/-\O_
Need to see some "crossfire" performance on this board at x8-x8.. Rumor is the X38 chipset at x16 is going to go for a premium price, but if this crosslink stuff works, and there is no hit in performance, then why not??:cool:
I want the DDR2 version :D
I like the Crazy option for the CPU :D
That chip is probably extremely similar to the one on the 7950GS, or whatever it was called, the one with dual GPUs.
lol @ "Crazy" setting.
man the watercooled chipset is awesome.. wonder how much the board will cost >.>
1/2" barbs? If not, provide an adapter, plz Asus...
If only because they have NO idea what crazy really is :DQuote:

X38 will be awesome if NVIDIA approves SLI support for it :D
I guess I stand alone when I say ASUS boards just rub me the wrong way... flashy gimmicks don't make up for bad BIOS and poor Vcore stability/droop.
They are one step away from becomming the Thermaltake of motherboards IMHO.
If Abit can produce a board like those Asus ones, I'll more than willing get that...Quote:

i actually i heard the p35 chipsets have extremely good vcore stability/drop
yea no kidding i would hate another 400 dollar board cant wait til the x38 chipsets if they support nvidia sli
but this board looks very good colorshceme unlike thier curent p35 that looks like a circus of colors
Yeh the ASUS P5K's have a vcore damper option which pretty much totally eliminates any vdroop :)

With load line calibration, when load becomes heavy, revising the CPU core voltage which is in the tendency which decreases it prevents degradation by the fact that it maintains fixed core voltage.
Now that I look closer at the pictures I hope it means better scaling of crossfire cards when together. Even if ATI doesnt compete as well with single cards if they improve the scaleability of 2xCF compared to NV's SLI by even 30 percent it could give folk more reason to buy thier cards.
You have to implement a bridge chip, much like PCIE to agp, this splits the 16X lanes into 8x8 with abaility for P2P writes.
This was totally possible on all 965 boards also with many people including myself begging for it to be implemented.
So to say the chipset supports it is not quite right, with a bridge chip yes it does just as 965 does.

I hate to link to THG but here's one of my reasons for wanting full speed slots. untill then it looks like I'm going to use the p5k deluxe which will allow me to test 4x vs 8x on an areca card.
you ONLY need 16x16 at silly high res....8x8 is just fine even for 24" LCD's ;)
very nice.. :)
subscribed.. :D
how much will it be on retail.. :D 300usd hahaha
Finally ASUS has some decent cooling idea. With NB waterblock you have 4 elements on a single loop and single block: NB, SB, CROSSLINX chip and PWM - the heatpipes would transfer the heat from all hot elements to one place where water cools it. Much better than joining two hot elements with a heatpipe, like in Striker or P5N32-E
i want modded driver for P35 and 8x8x G80 SLI !!! :D
Meh... All ASUS seems to be lately (past few years) is full of flashy / LED infested / brand-engineered rubbish. Instead of using quality parts, they make up fake technology and give fancy names to everything. Then they charge you an arm and a leg for it.
I will be getting the Intel X38 motherboard. :)
the x38 is said to support pci-e 2.0, would it offer any real life perfomance increase or just another 2X increase in theoretical bandwith :rolleyes:
Maybe just "wishfull" thinking, but it all looks good on paper!!! :rolleyes:
Anyone else notice Asus was taking a swipe @ the Evga Black Pearl with "inefficient" cooling solution.
However i do love the idea of the "Water Pipe" setup.
Wait, so IF you get the Extreme, would water flow throughout the board? That would kill performance....
Sweeet water pipe brah, can I get a pull of that?
Sorry.
Something tells me this board is going to have BIOS issues like all of the others. Im going to caution the purchase of this thing until it proves otherwise.
got a link showing this?Quote:

I would laugh if it was $600 dollars, especially since it will be purchased by the same people who buy the 8800 Ultra series GPUs.Quote:

in my field if they did that none of the businesses would be around today.
improvements are made to the technolgy thats there, small baby steps are put into new units to increase productivity and performance.
these are computer/electronic/networking based components.
i want to knwo when the frack someone is going to come out with a faster hard drive system.
you can have all this speed and power youw ant but we are STILL bottlenecked by our hard drives and access times.
until they can come out with a hard drive that can keep up with the demands that are asked of it, we will always be bottle necked.
and no flash drive hard drives are not the answer, they are no faster than todays sata II drives.
this is neat and all but you boys beter be prepaired to fork over more money than you ever have before.
not to mention the fact that the crap isnt going to work anyways when you release it, they will deny everything, take forever to release bios's.... need i go on with the history of asus that we all know is true, and still happening today.
Pretty much sums it up right there :ROTF:Quote:

It better be 1/2 barbs and all copper, or it will be useless.
Question is, will vcores between 1.63v to 1.75v be accessible or will it be the same with present ROG boards..... The mobo looks good and Im sure Asus will sell a bunch of them, more reason for them to not give a crap about you after they get your money......
I dont read all posts, so Blitz Extreme (DDR3) will have water cit or just WB at NB?
MB is looking very very juicyyyy. Hope it won't cost alot otherwise I have to wait for long longer time. I think the water line is 3/4 not 1/2 but if it is 1/2..It would be very sweet.:clap:

Is there any newer bios that can support E6300(new R0 stepping) on Blitz Extreme?
Official Bios 1101 on the webby does not support my new E6300. The rig keeps power recycle and failed to boot up at all. But not problem booting up with 1007 beta bios but it prompt me to update to newer bios coz unknown CPU detected during post screen
