    That's a good looking board, looking forward to the record breaking it'll dish out. I was brainstorming about a volt measurement panel of pads on motherboards for Gigabyte just the other day, now I won't sound original Great job Foxconn, looks like a beauty

    Damn that looks awsome.
    Love that cooling aswell, first time I've seen a board bundled with
    "XTREME cooling" in mind lol.

    But excellent to be able to watercool NB without the hassle of changing heatsink
    and possibly ruining warrenty, and at the same time
    passively water cool SB and mosfets and not need to buy new coolers
    for all the componants.

    m8... it will take at least a year before we have this board in Norway. I am ready to pay 550$ for it if I can get it with in a week...
    We don't even have a Blackops in stock... from what I know there is 10 blackops's on its way from China - chances of me getting one = ZERO

    worth feeling ever - you have the money but can't buy

    There is only one problem with Quantum-Force motherboards: they seem like hand-made because you find decent quantity's of them anywhere

    Update 1

    Sorry guys! I have been really busy lately.

    I found some time today to test some basic stuff. My bench room was too hot to take CPU any higher

    3DM01 was really bad ad I will show it when I got it working like it should.

    Here is the CPU-Z and mem bandwidth screen:


    AM3 (quite good, considering the CPU clocks)


    03 nothing special here


    05. Damn..30K was so close only with 4.4GHz


    06. Basic score on air water combo


    I have used this motherboard few days now and I have to say, that this is really stable mobo. There haven't been any problems so far (no data corruption at all).

    Foxconn did great job in here

    Next some quad fsb testing.
    You are as good as your samples are!

    Board looks really nice, would it be possible to get a close-up of the voltage reading area?

    6 sata ports omfg come on!!!!!
    they are including an overclockers freaking dream but to only have 6 sata ports is rediculous.

    come on mobo makers get with the program!!!

    other than that i have yet to see a FSB that says anything other than cheap.

    come on guys what reason do we have for not showing the highest FSB so far

    This board looks great, I could definitely see trading my reference 790i for one of these. Now I just wait for ATI and nVidia to release new cards to decide between Blackops and this Dreadnought. Looking forward to see some quad high FSB results.

    How's the voltage droop on this board? That and the HDD corruption are my only real complaints with the reference 790i board (along with the number of waterblocks it would take).

    That's what you have RAID cards for

    Exactly! Plus nvidia isn't exactly known for very stable southbridges when it comes to raid...

    Holy poo poo.
    This or the BlackOps?

    I'm sure you can find an open slot not taken by an Ultra

    Crossfire you might have some problems...
