Where did the PCI-E 1x sound card go?

**NightCrawler™** · 02-08-2007 06:58 AM

Oh well another product for the Fatal1ty fan club... or those who enjoy the ATi red PCB...

**lowfat** · 02-08-2007 07:00 AM

The board looks good, but why a Fatal1ty on a 650i and not 680i?

Because Fatal1ty didn't win WGL (or whatever it's called) this year... So now he's second best

jokes aside, I think we'll see a Fatal1ty MAX edition soon enough with the 680i chip...

And the layout of that board isn't half-bad... no heatpipe-craziness either...

Best Regards

**K404** · 02-08-2007 07:29 AM

IMHO a 680I with the speshul "F" would price it out the market completely

**SafeFire** · 02-08-2007 07:32 AM

For once I am actually looking forward to a fatal1ty labeled product.
This one looks fairly decent, but I have my doubts in it's overclockability...

I'm going to agree with my danish friend that we will probably see a 680i version some time soon.

but abit abit abit, why won't you ever ditch that stupid sli switch card...

Oh, and how I love people who quote entire posts

It's a chip-limit AFAIK... But I suppose it could be done...

You quoted the whole post to say that?

It is integrated into the mainboard.

**doompc** · 02-08-2007 10:30 AM

Wandel is focusing his Fatal1ty brand in more cost effective products, that means: More money!

**mr_knowitall15** · 02-08-2007 10:42 AM

Ugh.. and here i thought this fugly mobo line was done...

I agree, I am usually hesitant regaring Fatal1ty labeled stuff but this looks kinda nice. Good layout, 650i, color scheme ain't that bad.

**G.Foyle** · 02-08-2007 11:23 AM

Ueeee.... fatal1ty please get out of hardware!
And 4x SATA, isn't it too litle nowadays?

**Serra** · 02-08-2007 11:32 AM

^^ Agreed

If I'm going to pay a premium for some <censored> to play games all day, the least they can do is give me 680i, at least 6 SATA connectors, and - preferably - give me all that "Fatal1ty" self-promoting BS as stickers that I get the option of using (an option I would not take up).

I was thinking 4x USB was too little also. Mouse, keyboard, joystick, printer, webcam, etc...

**Revv23** · 02-08-2007 01:05 PM

I think it's sexy looking. I LOVE the red PCB. I don't know what it is about it, but i love red PCB's, good layout too.

But what is with the SLi card? I thought we stopped using those after first gen SLi setups.

As for the fatality, the only reason i never liked the fatality name is because the fatality boards all sucked. If the board performs they can call it whatever they want.

**vengance_01** · 02-08-2007 01:10 PM

It looks very nice. I will consider it for my next Core 2 Build.

Out of interest what would you need 6 SATA connectors for anyway?

**Borgod** · 02-08-2007 02:08 PM

I think it's an excellent layout.
I haven't seen 2 IDE ports on a board in a while either.
Glad I don't use a floppy drive full-time but.

4 hard drives and 2 dvd burners

or 6 hard drives

depending on how rich you are

**falqon** · 02-09-2007 03:58 AM

I've been looking forward to this board, now I'll just have to come up with a plan to get rid of all the Fatal1retarded logos.

I've yet to see any proof that plastering a "cyber-athlete" on a motherboard does much for sales, at least as far as the US is concerned, my bet is that his name isn't carrying the high end stuff like they were hoping.

" a supercharged, factory overclocked system bus provides the hidden powers you need to Obliterate the Competition and take home the win!" Why?

**G.Foyle** · 02-09-2007 05:09 AM

On of the logos is printed on PCB, so... maybe a sticker like on ASUS P5N32-E covering the "STRIKER" logo?

4 hard drives and 2 dvd burners

or 6 hard drives

depending on how rich you are

I remember whe I bought my ASUS A7V600 years ago it was one of the first boards to have SATA (2 ports) and everyone laughed at me saying that I won't use them anyway, and that I should go for cheaper board without SATA. I ran out of SATA ports very quick. Now I have 6 sata ports of which only 2 are free (3x hdd, 1x esata port on case), so if I had this board I would already be limited.

This is a budget board, it is perfectly reasonable to sell a motherboard for $140 and not support $500 in hard drives and DVD burners.

I understand the have your cake and eat it too mentality, but there are a lot of people who have one or two hard drives and a single burner and do not want to pay for 6x SATA and the likes when they don't intend to pay for the items that need all of that.

Well, considering I currently have 4-sata ports and 2 160GB Seagate 7200.9's in RAID-0 on two of those ports, an 80GB Seagate 7200.7 on a third for backup, and currently have 2x 74GB Western Digital Raptors on the way, with only 4 SATA ports I'm experiencing a bit of a pinch. Worse, I would *love* to get rid of my current DVD drive and replace it with 2x SATA burners, but that clearly won't be happening until I either get a new MB or a SATA PCI card.

For a board made for *enthusiasts*, 4 SATA ports is just not enough. Assuming you're buying a new system and are a gaming enthusiast, you'll probably want at least 1-2 SATA DVD drives, and the idea that you may get 3 hard drives over the course of motherboard ownership is not too unlikely.

**metachronos** · 02-09-2007 10:52 AM

Only 4 SATA and one eth port? Weak.
