sounds like the card should be available anytime now...just wondering if it will have the same issues like SIIE...First tests should be interesting anyway.

Shamino has posted a couple of threads about it. Looks good so far.

Hopefully now the BlackOPS is out, this isn't too far away from retail.

OK thanks. I knew only about the oldest link about a pre-release card, missed the more recent one though with the test.

I remember the X38A board from Foxconn had a Foxconn Digital Connection, which could be connected to some Foxconn devices (yet none have been released as of yet).

Maybe something similar ?

That's not retail cooling used on that board.

thought so from the aspect of the mosfet cooler

That is straight up delicious. I want one badly, need something 790i and this looks much better than the reference boards.

So will this have the same options as the Black Op's board, except this one is SLI ?

OOOOHHHHH! Pretty! I certainly hope the data corruption issues are fixed on this board.
