Epic. Above all expectations. Every single complaint I might have had has been covered...
Yet I'm not buying one.:p:

Looks great, packed with features I am buying one to tinker with till SR3 comes out. Not too sure about the Fan on teh X79 chipset though. Looks abit feable. Good excuse to water cool :).
Mine :)
Not liking the heatsinks. The board sports an excellent set of features, though.
I agree on that heatsink but I am sure EK will make a decent waterblock for it.
do want!

cute chick, awesome features, crappy crapp heatsink solution, insulation nightmare.
So can this thing run 2400MHz RAM?
more:DQuote:

I don't like the strange expansion slot layouts that some of these boards are coming with. For the cost of these things you'd think they would let you pick where to install things?
also, it is safe to say these boards don't need the chipset heatsink fan unless something really really hot is going on. if they're designed right, the fan can/will probably be OFF under most normal loads.
the fans are needed when you have multiple cards in there
Temp probe outputs?! maaaan...
What's the next thing, bundled cpu pot? Too bad all this stuff doesn't increase your binning chances.
unbelievable!!!!!
looks good
as long as that chipset fan is not loud as the one on the R3E
A fan...no way
Wondering what thermometers they are comparing to.... 2x temp for 460 USD, lol?Quote:

The top model is represented by the Rampage Extreme 4. It incorporates the active cooling system chipset, while the Asus engineers have confessed that the choice of an active system was made at the time or the variant of the chipset Patsburg which was to be used was the version manager port SAS. A difference on the TDP of 11 watts which is no longer the order of the day. Result the system has remained active, but may be disabled in the BIOS.
u think BD needs thermo ? nope bro NO CB chips never needed thermo (u need it just to see if contact is good 20 degrees to 0 then it's useful) :DQuote:

Ok ok, point taken... But, SNB/SNB-E, I wouldnt use more powerful than SS... DOnt really see the point in integrating a quite expensive feature, when it is not needed - in my book, it is as useless as lets say... "G1".Quote:

ya sure, but maybe asus can do it with some § :D always the ROG boards had something special like other brands G1 with nice HS, EVGA with handsome whiteteeth boy :DQuote:

Don't get me wrong, the ultra-hardcore-overclocking-as-a-day-job few will love this but there are some things that have me wondering;
1 lan port on a board that's going to cost as much as a very reasonable system? Really?
Where is the sas? I understand they are splitting patsburg into various grades with features missing but why does this not get the top of the line chip? That cooling system can easily handle it.
Those slides. Wow. Advertising soldering, temp reading ports and a huge OSD dongle. Mad. :D
2011 needs decent well thought out and feature laden boards to set itself from 1155. This hits the nail square on the head for "3xtr3m3" overclocking but it doesn't come across as a 24/7 board or one with a tonne of non-oc features after you're done being mad.
I need/want 4 slots (3 gpu's and a raid card) and a pair of lan ports. Looks like SR3 will be the only way as the P9X79's are a bit too 'casual' for my liking. (yeah, yeah)
Some interesting features indeed but it makes me wonder how many arms and legs I will need to sacrifice to get one of these boards.
Still only one Gigabit LAN hmm.
-PB
nice :D
Team ROG hit a homerun with this board I think. :clap:
Really cool to add the Subzero sense.
How many do you have left? :p:Quote:

Agreed. That board is just gorgeous.Quote:

Don't know whether I would want this or the gigabyte (ud5 I think it was). Want a new board for sandy bridge and room for tri sli, my wireless n, sound card and another slot in case I buy a revo drive. Unfortunately with this board I wouldn't have room for the revo drive :(
With all the unresolved problems of the last Rampage board (that I still have) I'm leery on ASUS anymore. Especially for such high end boards, it's embarrassing for them to not have their BIOS support worked out. I'm not being an early adopter again, I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.
Looks amazing. If they appear in the US when I'm over and the price is right I may just be sold.
Just out of curiosity, do any of you guys actually use dual lan? What for?
I do, because I do bridging at home and network simulation...
Dual LAN helps if you have two internet connections. One strictly for anything that requires low latency, and then the other for a connection that is shared on your LAN.
Overkill, but that's what this site is about right? :)
Power placement looks odd, but I haven't seen any other X79 designs so maybe that's just how it is required for this generation.
expected retail price?
I asked in the other Asus X79 thread, but I'll ask again here ...
Is this board the same size as the R3E?
I dont like the heatsinks on it, but its still better :)
Same size, roughly an inch wider than regular ATX.Quote:

Also I know this won't be answered but still... I could swear I saw a video on Tuesday (which I can't find now) where a rep explaining the PCIe lane distribution stated that the second red x16 slot and the black x16 slot bellow share a dedicated x8 link via lane switches. They can either run at red:x8/black:0 or red:0/black:x8. Would it be wrong to assume they can also run at x4/x4?
Yay, it will just fit into my P182, if I decide to buy one that is ... I want to skip socket 2011 too, but I will probably be far too weak to resist :(
Well I skipped socket 1366 so I have all arms and legs currently intact but probably not for too long.:DQuote:

.............................................
Am I the only one that thinks this board looks like its going to be a pain-in-the-butt to water cool?
hummm I've WC harder boards....
Does one really need to watercool the chipset?
I foresee the full board solutions will be two blocks at most. The heatsink next to rear I/O ports is unnecessary with WC, merely there to assist VRM cooling when running on air.
Expensive!!! The boards for 2011 are coming in at ridiculous prices.
Buying the chipsets from Intel is a lot more expensive than Z68 so that is a big part of it.
