ASUS Maximus III Extreme - P55 / 1156
-
Nice, It should be better than Maximus III Formula?
-
This looks a lot better than the non-extreme version. I've had problems during my test with my sample (MFIII only) but one thing I don't understand is why Asus placed ProbeIT and the diagnostics LEDs near the ATX power connector where it would be partially/fully blocked by the cables when mounted in a case.
I'm looking forward to my sample of this board, too. Our review(s) isn't really as big and as glorious as what you guys do but we're the only one doing this in our country :) That, and we're near Taiwan.
-
Amazing news, lets see the results now. :rolleyes:
-
It's a good clocker, been running mine for awhile now and crunching WGC.:up:
-
Too bad Asus when back to on-board audio :down: I think most of us prefer not to have it.
-
Yes, I hate on-board sound.

-
First post is updated with some aircooled results. Clarkdale is very weka CPU in tests, but you will get the rough idea.
Memory is running 6-7-6 (CPU-Z bug)
I am waiting new bios, so BCLK + memory testing results will come later.

Yes.. I was doing I II III dance during benching :rofl:
Here is the first short LN2 tests done in Assembly winter 2010. That was my first touch with this motherboard, so nothing serious there.
Temperature was only -135C° during benchmarks.

Some serious results to be expecting when the secret dance is used :up:

Wanna see this results also on i5 or i7...P55-UD3R does it and cost 150€ less.Thanks for posting and push it! :up:
-
can anybody know or say when this board will launch/ hit retail??? I want it so bad I can taste it! I loved my old maximus extreme. asus had planned a P45 asus maximus 2 extreme but with 1366 and 1156 they trashed it.

SF3D could you post a high res picture of the underside of the board around the CPU PWM area?

Sorry about the pause in updates.
Just tested the new bios and it fixed a lot of issues. Now the product seems to be ready.

Need to find better CPU and get some LN2 for it next.
sholvaco- I can try later. Why do you need it?
-
Just curious about the components used. ;)
Thanks.

tiny update
Tested the latest 0504 bios and now it is starting to look good. I tested my 661 ES CPU and it is better than my other retails.
Memory ratios are working fine (Only one stick, cause I can't fit two under noctua NH-D14 :rolleyes:)
http://sf3d.pp.fi/images/Maximus%20III%20Extreme/1.png
Tested some QPI link capabilities on air. It is getting better...
http://sf3d.pp.fi/images/Maximus%20III%20Extreme/2.png
Tested some random 3D as well. OK.
http://sf3d.pp.fi/images/Maximus%20III%20Extreme/3.png
Some BCLK abilities + CPU freq. ~ nothing too impressive

-

bandwidth after change timings in BIOS @ 240X20 from 96XXMB/s raise to 14XXXMB/s.
