Woot!
The more reviews I see, the more I hunger for this mobo.
Looks like a nice board and hopefully just as good or better then the P5Q Deluxe.
I'm eagerly awaiting results for this and the Rampage Extreme.
this thing is just so hot. i've seen the pics a while ago but i just cant get over it. i could orgasm lol. but if it gets price gouged over $350, then i wont be able to afford it

In europe it is listed around 220 Euro's, the P5Q Premium at 235 euro's and to compare prices P5Q Dlx at 155 euros... What really puts me off here are the lack of backplates... and like P5K Dlx mosfets on the back
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
Does anybody know if under the same SB cooler there is any "IDT Crosslinx kind of a chip"?
Anybody has or can get some more detailed pics of the "SupremeFX X-Fi Audio Card"?

There are a series of mosfets to the left of southbridge, and northbridge that are gonna need sinked/cooled also.... Ought to be a pretty good board, got mine "open box" for $196 shipped.....

I am assuming you got yours from Newegg, did you get anything besides the board? I.E the backplate.Originally Posted by screwtech02

well guys ive been looking around and it looks like alot of places have less and less 775 mobos everyday, prolly cuz of X58 coming but man im not switching till i see real sturdy results, yes the boards look awesome but that means nothing.
I bought an Asus Maximus II Formula "open box" motherboard from NewEgg, but only received a bare board.
I did manage to track down a back plane I/O card in eBay - from a company in Taiwan. It took about 8-10 days to arrive but it was sent "registered mail" and arrived on Friday. It's brand new and an original Asus one... it was actually cheaper than Asus sell I/O cards for on their eStore!
Now I'm stuck looking for an Asus SupremeFX X-Fi board that someone doesn't want - because I don't want to buy from Creative Labs.
