btw. result will coming next time ;)
wow, is that mATX?
man 3 pci-e slots and only 1 pci?
specs, specs, specs
Looks like full ATX...
how am I suppose to fit my killer K1 , x-fi and ageia physx cards in this not including my 8800 GTS.....pfff NEEEXT!
why would you want two of those three cards anyways?Quote:

Hey Zolkorn sabadee mai?:D
Where did you get the board. Are these available in Thailand?
RLM
That Asus heatsink looks like a midget to the reference boards we have seen so far.... Hope it works better then what they hae delivered before
Hello RLM, sabuydee krab :D .... this board not available now it's sample from ASUS ;)Quote:

1. The 780i chipset has been delayed until late December.
2. Stick a QX9650 or QX9770 in it and you will know why it has been delayed. ;)
maybe i think this cause >> http://www.techpowerup.com/?43645 :p:Quote:

nice looking board :)
damm, my gpu pots will almost fit there, maybe its time to make tri-sli compatible gpu pots :D
The board you have there is never going to work right with Penryn, just like the last three I have received. ;) It has been that way for over a month now, have no idea why NV thought they were going to be able to launch it on the 12th. :shrug:Quote:

After the problems they have had with the 680i chipsets, it is better they get it right this time. Even with the popularity of their graphics cards, they have to prove that their boards are worth the pretty penny spent on them...
if it doesn't overclock well.. I won't be getting it.
LOL - three ultra on stock cooler withing centimeter of each other.... you might not be able to run those at stock speeds without overheating in a case...
Few words from me. It behave a little different than nForce 680i in matter of Kentsfield - boots with FSB500 without doing any tricks. Memory OC seems to be nF680i like, though this board have 2phase RAM VRM so it might be slightly better.
SB/NB TDP seems to be the same as before, hot like asian babies ;) And... some photos. Performance shootouts after NDA lol ;)

I thought Asus was coming out with the Striker Extreme II with the watercooled NB? :confused: Is that still going to happen?
You meant Striker II Formula. Yup.
Looks like a really nice well layed out board, One thing that does annoy the hell outta me though,
If your going to spend that amount of money on buying a board so you can do Triple SLI , you are obviously going to want to spend money on a top notch sound card aswell. WHERE THE HELL DO YOU PUT THE SOUNDCARD ???????
They need to put PCI slots above the PCI-E would be a good start.
Very good point:up:Quote:

and what about that 3way bridge..? do all 680i owner have to buy it? I have like 4 flex bridges here, possible to run 3way sli with those.. ? :D
thanks,

Why is there a turd in all of your pics? :ROTF: ;)
Looks like it could be good. :up:
Turd ? OMG :rofl:
Now, take a look again, blink your eyes to see it's sausage :ROTF:
Now lets' see if Asus gets it right this time around with Nvidia's MCH. I nearly got sick and tired of replacing all the da** P5N-E/P5N32-E/Striker boards with eVGA boards.
what momo designed this board?
they can shove tri-sli up the pooper, at least on this board.
That thing looks.... sad :(
I mean if nothing else, just think of the friggin polar bears!!! :stick:
I think it's time to change form factor. ATX is just to small nowdays. Many highend VGA comes with double slot coolers and multi GPU means no expansion slots left. The cooler I'm using for my VGA takes up 3 slots and I had to choose mobo with PCI slots at the end because I have Audigy 2 and TV card. My choices are quite limited and in future I don't think I can get high-end boards because boards are coming off with less PCI slots nowdays.Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't nVidia been looking into how to do audio on their cards?Quote:

It would be really interesting to try and see watercooled tri-SLi pulled off on that board... If you had a block on the CPU, the NB, the 3 cards... wow... soooo much tubing. I wonder if even the blocks themselves would fit between all that.
when is this and the striker II formula coming out????
Yeah, when does it retail?Quote:

I have this motherboard but I await new bios because impossible to have a multiplicator > 9 with the QX9650 :/

Hows that heatpipe performing sir Jack ? at least it seems a bit beefier than our Strikers... do we have temp readings for the NB and SB chip ?
When will these be available in USA?
Have a Striker II Formula on the way.
If i'm lucky it's here on monday.
On the Asus P5E3 it does. I own it.Quote:

Looks like a turd to me too. Disgusting.:shakes:
Any relation of the turd towards the board ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jeez guys stop posting pointless messages, stay on topic or don't post at all pfffffff
If a moderator would hop in he could delete already 10 posts, but al by al it's not too bad in here on the other thread peeps are discussing the spikes of the heatsinks and the largeness as it doesn't look cool :(
Let's see some real action here !!
New BIOS is out. OBR - go go go, i do not have enough time right now to check it.
Hi PMP and BIOS alpha for Striker Extreme?
Doesn't seem to be much interest in this board here. Wonder why?
Looks to be a good board to me. What I like about this board compared to the 780i offerings from EVGA and XFX is that the north bridge heat sink fan doesn't blow hot air straight onto your video card. That just seems like poor planning to me.
I just ordered one from ZipZoomFly for $70 LESS than Newegg is asking.
I'll find out for my self how this bad boy works.
It's fixed now, with latest BIOS release.Quote:

i have asus p5n32-e sli board which has 680i chipset and it ran so hot.
OTher people had success in overclocking with this board but with aftermarket chipset cooling. I would like to know if 780i chipset boards NB and SB chipsets run as hot as 680i boards did.
ill be getting one of these if i dont manage to find a evga 780i

Maybe TDP for NB was not changed from the one known from 680 but HS is just slightly bigger and let it dissipate better...
Anybody try any aftermarket cooling solutions on this board yet? How about any waterblocks?
I got mine today and I am waiting for another gpu watercooling block to go SLI. How well do these overclock with Q6600 and how is the v-droop on these?
mcw30 fits nb. Asus1 nb/sb fits sbQuote:

Guess its going back and i'll wait this time for the evga.
Ram timing error ? does it go corrupt or the board shuts down what happens exactly...
Default bios, Started up no problems, Installed windows no problem, ran windows no problem 15mins, installed Chipset Drivers, Hard lock / Frozen solid. (no beep, no error msg, just frozen screen & puter)
Any installs of either XP or Vista x64 gives me the same result, Install routine works fine. It reboots to do First boot, you get the little logo, and the loading bar, it will pass once maybe twice, and locks solid. (no caps light, numlock, no mouse light, keyboard display goes dead)
Tried both Raptor HDD and an old seagate 200gb, Same Result.
Tried both different 8800GT's ( one at a time) & 1 7800GTX same result.
Tried (one at a time) Four different ram sticks.
Tried detaching all usb cables & firewire, and using ps/2 only
Motherboard & the Intel Q6600 I don't have spares of, so I'm taking a guess that It's the chipset, going to RMA and get a second one or evga version whichever they happen to have.
Unless someone else has run into this & knows better before I ship it out.
Bios didnt get any errors for the cpu, temps are all good, and memtest works for each of the ram sticks.
The thing that really gets me is the thing was up and running for 20mins or so Windows installed & working. No problems untill the asus drivers were installed. I mean Dead mobo, cpu, whatever yea it happens, but this was up and fully functional. Which would point me to the drivers, untill I deleted and reformatted in one of the other 20 installs afterwards. One buddy said mobo, other said cpu. At this point no clue. Another weird thing, it came in a sleeve wrapped around the box, with an anti-static bag, and a box o' parts. no foam or packing inside the Asus box. (Sealed Box BTW) even the mobo's dell ships to me here at work have foam. :shrug:
the same thing happened to me shortly after installing windows. i tried different ram, different cpu, different video card, and different PSU, all of wich i know work and it just won't post.Quote:

That is plain lazy on ASUS part to leave that out.
my board only posted once before it died, not to happy with this board so far. Its going back and I think i will stay with the EVGA until they release their FTW or the striker II gets good reviews.
Ran into the goold ole boot loop problem loading whatever driver comes after crcdisk.sys in vista x64. Trying to reinstall the OS again and see if that helps, but I doubt it.
I bought this mobo also, installed windows xp, installed drivers from cd, crashed after sitting on desktop for 30 seconds. tried different ram, video card, disabled onboard sound, no go. tried default settings. no difference. I am using a x3210 quadcore that works perfectly in my other system. I called motherboardpro.com about returning the mobo and was told i wasn't the only one having problems with the new asus mobo, I sent it back, ordered a p5e, sold my 2 8800gt cards, ordered 2 3850 512mb cards. I have tried 3 different nvidia chipset asus mobos, can't get any oc at all, sometimes no default at all, on my quadcore cpu. All this pain in the butt to try and get sli rig up and running. My quad fired up with no probs in the p5e, 3.2 in like 2 minutes. videocards will be here tommorrow. No nvidia for me for a while....if i had not tried 3 times already, i might have the patience to try the evga version...sick of swapping mobo's and installing windows, just to be let down over and over. I only need it to play diablo 2 smoothly anyway....

nFo: hehe :) okay.
Gitsum: i found that with 0602 P5N-T is not stable at FSB400 :( But with 0402 it was :( notice that i'm using Yorkfield. With 1st BIOS releases i was able to go even with Kentsfield close to 505 MHz.
But, after all, i found it as stable, and damn decent motherboard for 24/7 daily PC

Where did you get 602 bios?
Also, please post your voltage settings for everything. Thanks.
Everything except VCore (1.33V) is set to Auto.
Yea, where did you get the 0602 bios?
I haven't had any luck running SLI on this board. It just doesn't seem to detect it. :confused: (Btw, it's not my sig rig.)
Well, I just killed mine updating the bios. Was using EZFlash from within bios and everything seemed to go fine but now it won't reboot. No post.
Ahh looking sounds good for P5N-T with Yorkfield but from your run 4GHz it same all 4-core freq. ? and did you get the 0602 bios ? :DQuote:

Can't hotflash in another mobo?Quote:

Mine only posted for about 15 minutes then out of the blue I got no video signal and harddrive light stays on constantly. NB gets really hot and I put a fan blowing directly on it. It will turn on but post any bios screen
Anyone got lucky with retail Q9650 or other Yorkfield ?
Rumor said 780i can't run with them cause Intel change the micro code for retail ones ????
My XFX 780i ran my retail 9650 flawlessly.
The p5n-t not so. Wont oc, multi won't go past 9x. Rock stable at stock though for what that's worth.
I'd also like to know where pmp got the 602...
Wish I hadn't flashed up from 402 to 502. But the website said support for 9650 on rev. 1.02G and 502 so I did.
I'm giving them (Asus) 7 days, then it's back to the XFX board and this one's going back.
I'm an Asus fanboy, but not when the board won't oc.
Shame on you Asus!!!:down: :down:
Finally got things working after 3 reinstalls of the OS. The system however still randomly powers off. It has powered off while gaming, while installing software, and while doing absolutley nothing in the middle of the night. I have checked temp logs and it doesn't seem like anything is overheating. NB/SB stay steady around 42 C, CPU at about 35C, GPU at about 50C.
Nope. i found it today, that 3rd/4rd core multi is set to x6 :eek:Quote:

I wonder if above bug applies also to reference eVGA/XFX 780i boards?
Yah it same my problem, for this problem i seen on P5N-T and Striker Formula IIQuote:

btw. if i see other problem i'll let you know ;)
Hi all!... Can any off you stick an E8500 on this board?
I don't have acces to any other 780i board, because Evga and Xfx haven't heard of Romania yet, so I must do with what I can... It's a new build, and a quad isn't justified (I need high clocks, not multicores), and Asus is a bit shy on the phone... they go like: "that revision... that bios... maybe, it might... we don't know yet..." :shrug:
don't plan on heavy clocks, maybe a 400fsb...
Sli Gainward GT Glh... and 2x2 gig Mushkin
Hi Dan_c... from your topic, i already only Xeon E3110(E8400 spec) i'll try it for you but not sure for when is answer because i very busy now :)
Thanks... looking forward!
I don't know why I'm so set on an NV chipset... I just didn't like the way Intel pulled this one...
Nice can't wait. Will this be the 0602 build?Quote:

Anyone have an idea how I can fix my bios on this board?
After a recent flash, it no longer will post at all.
Unfortunately, new bios chip or rma or return it to where you bought it.Quote:
