GA-EX58-Extreme -Bios F3

[woffen]

Is it possible to run SLI/CF on this board and still have a soundcard? As I'm looking at it, it is not.

[Utnorris]

Are the barbs on the NB 3/8" and can you take a picture of the inside of the block? Is it flat or does it have channels?
Thanks

[T_M]

Appears to be flat inside to me

[dinos22]

old ones are flat as well

[Xello]

What's the word on any 3/8 > 1/2 NB adapters that might come with this, i've been told they can be prone to leaks. Any thoughts?

[Aberration]

My Maximus Formula came with 3/8>1/2 adapters, and they have not leaked.

Of course I wish they would do the opposite of 1/2>3/8's. I wont be buying any watercooled board that has 3/8's. And it seemed to do jack for the X38 anyways, so I will wait to see the results.

Word on [H] of a F4B bios, anyone seen it yet?

[systemviper]

This looks like the board i am getting, anyone seen a naked picture of the board, i am interested in what is under that huge southie or whatever new chipsets so I can figure my watercooling strategy, i want to try to use all my own stuff......

I was going to hold off but looks like I7 rocks, plus this GIG looks like the bomb.... Ordered ~

On Hardforum people are not friendly at all.They keep F4B only for themself.

He,he just received new bios for EX58-Extreme-F4C and EX58-UD5-F4D

When I push the reset-button, ctrl-alt-del or F10 (in BIOS) the board just turnes off. It is not even trying to reboot... Anyone else having ther same issue? I have tried F2 and F3 bios.

I have trouble installing Windows on RAIDed SSD-disks aswell, but that issue might be because of me.

[vservera]

great board the cooling solution for the NB is great

That's cool, i think i'll be getting 3/8 tubing and just using that where needed. Be weird having 3/8 and 1/2 tube in same loop, but someone who does this for a living tells me it'll make no difference so i guess it'll be ok.

Anybody,Extreme bios F4e ?
Edit:
get

[AmdForLife]

has someone tye'd 3x 4870x2 ? , crosfire x do's support it and if it do's not fit mayba i tip for people ho cant fit 3x videocard's on the mobo a pci-e risor with ribon connection

[revogamer]

the problem is crossfire connectors, you can only use one on the 4870x2

You're saying current catalyst driver supports 6-gpu operation?

Can you provide more detailed info?

[AmdForLife]

i have sean a system that had 2 3870x2 and 1 3870 and that run'd fine and how about running without crossfire connectors i that you could run without with like 10 % preformence loss

[Xello]

By the way, can someone confirm the metals in the NB. Any bad mixes here?

[jcool]

Working pretty well here, had some issues I believe were related to bios F4e, so I went back to F3. What voltages are you guys increasing to reach around 190-200 BCLK apart from Vcore and Vmem? I only upped QPI VTT and ICH core by 0,1V, left the rest on auto. Also what UCLK speeds are possible (stable)/which volt setting applies to UCLK, if any? Thanks
