Preview for it. Not sure if this was posted, i looked around didnt see it. So here goes, this is the x38 R.O.G I mean look at those heatsinks. Sweet jesus marry! At least they are using screws for them, looks very solid. With its 3 pound of heatsink and all:ROTF:
http://www.xfastest.com/viewthread.p...extra=page%3D1 Lots of high quality pics on this link

Interesting that a $360.00 MoBo has only 2 x16 PCI-E...
It's nice that memory support is 1066 but that can be done manually on most other boards.
Thats one mighty fine looking board, although i cant tell if its the lighting/camera/whatever but those heatsinks look nice in red. Any idea on release date?
honestly iam not sure on release date sorry.
I would imagine how quickly asus has been pumping out new boards, somewhere after sept 14th.
two pcie slots is enough. imo, i would rather have the extra PCI
iam waiting for abit ix38
They totally look Red...

At that price, it had BETTER be real Cu instead of the anodized Al they have been passing off as copper for some time...
I'll be curious how this stacks up agains the P5Es. I have been using ASUS boards for as long as I can remember, but their prices are getting a bit ridiculous even from them....and that's saying a lot :D
lol i been using MSI and asrock.....cant wait to try a decent mobo think this is the one im going to get, unless its crap then ill go Blitz formulaQuote:

The Striker is a noce looking piece, but it came out at a redic cost when you could get the same for less in the form of the P5N-32...
It does look nice however..
Does anyone know which platform it's based off??
Doubt it's copper, this is ASUS we're talking about... :rolleyes:
I thought it was copper that I removed from my P5N...Quote:

Definately looks X38 based seeing the size of the NB sink.
Interested to see the new line of boards :)
It is x38, though I want to see what abit has in store, dfi as well.
This was true of both the striker and the crosshair, and then both dropped in price rapidly.Quote:

If I go with Asus MB, then this would be my first time going with Asus. I have never bought a Asus Board before and I am looking foward to the new X38 Intel and Asus Motherboard. I read somewhere, Doesn't this board support the upcoming X48 Chipset? Hopefully someone can correct me, if I am worng. All though I think the price is pretty crazy for this board.
P.S. Fusion
I like the PCI slot north of the PCI-E, I've been wanting that forever. :up:
The x48 is merely the x38 cherrypicked for the best oc, correct me if im wrong.Quote:

Agreed, It's been too long for someone to put that on a mobo..Quote:

nope, its so hot its glowing red :DQuote:

No info about availability or new previews?
Don't like the PCi Slots position, it's plain stupid.
Its all aluminium... the only piece of copper in that is the heatpipe itself, and you can see how different it is in both colour and texture to the rest of it :p:
i was surprised to find actual copper in the P35T-DQ6 Gigabyte i got for testing
wonder if the X38 board arriving soon will have copper
knowing how hot the chipset will get it sure as hell needs it :D:D::D:D
Excellent, more copper colored aluminium and heatpipes connecting hot elements with other hot elements. Won't they ever learn?
Very nice m/b. Hope it actually will be released on time, unlike Blitz which still can't be found.
As for the heatpipes, someone from gigabyte must got a job @ asus... :p:
Wut!! Does it have block afterall? :D
So freaking cool, its def my next board then
Yeahhh, WB! Now the only thing I´d like to know is retail price, and DDR3 version too.
BTW, those "copper" heat sinks look totaly different color in this water block image than in those previous photos at XF site...
Look at these women arguing over the color of the heatsinks :lol:

Maximus Extreme
That is a nice board, love the layout with the exception of the pci slot in line with the memory. But hey, gj fitting it in and clearing the pcie and memory better.
All 90 degree sata and ide is the best way to go with the way graphics cards have been growing.
Thanks for sharing the image.
Can I get that board with no heatsinks and $150 off? Sheesh.
Well, old pictures seem to be anodized aluminium not copper, and this one looks like real copper:
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...nBlock_QIG.pdf
I donīt care about motherboards color, but I care about difference between copper and aluminium.
I hope there'll be boards available at launch date. I've been waiting for this long enough now, and I'm literally itching for some quad core action.
Asus Maximus Formula
Now this looks a hell of a lot better.

29th apparently.
**thanks to clone for this. :) **
Looks good indeed :)
Totally Cool! :yepp:
I hope the picture correct because it looks really good but on the vadim site it lists one of the features as Crosslinx Technology which is something not required on the X38 Chipset so everything on that site might not be 100% correct.
Looks like a clean pcb.Quote:

So this is a water-only board then?
Propably not cos of those heatpipes and heatsinks surrounding CPU socket.
what about eSATA and Wi-fi ? It is going to have any of those ? from the pictures on the net it seems it won't..
It's probably not going to be Wi-Fi because it's primarily a gaming motherboard but the whole not having E-SATA is kind of surprising.
maximus extreme will have e-sata...this is why I just placed pre-order on P5E WS PRO :)
That's just what I was thinking:)Quote:

what memory uses P5E WS PRO? DDR2 or DDR3? i saw contradicting info on the net. Some ppl say DDR2, some ppl say DDR3.
I would want DDR2 as I don't think the performance increase is deserving double (or more!) the price for DDR3. I'd rather go for 4GB of BallistiX Tracer DDR2 (I need 2GB more) instead of 2GB DDR3.
I would like to know this toQuote:

sweet:up:
I have a question... How many fans is Maximus Formula controlling? I have a P5E and Antec P182 and want to change to Maximus Formula (regular one) because P5E controls only 2 fans beside the CPU one. Maximus has 5 fan headers, how many does it use to control?
Thank you very much, you are all great.
