Now this is more useful than that hybrid board thing they made...

IO shot?

Add'ed in the first post

Anything about pricing and availability?

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

I want to see price (duh, everyone does) and how well it OC's.

I hope this trend continues. i7 produces the first real line of uber high end mATX boards to OC on (DFI had the only good one for p45 last gen that I can remember).

Maybe mini-ITX will be the new mATX.

Does anyone think that it would have been better to have a little heatsink on the Power MOSes? I do not see this board holding up 4GHz for too long without proper cooling in the VRM department.

Looks like I've found my next HTPC board/build

About MI P55-T36

1.Intel® P55 Express Chipset
2.Supports Intel® Processors
in the LGA 1156 Package
3.Supports Dual CH DDR3 800/ 1066/ 1333
4.1 PCI Express Slots
5.7.1 CH HD Audio + Creative X-Fi
6.ABSII，CPU Auto Upgrade Technology

How can they have a Realtek ALC885 High Definition audio CODEC plus Creative X-Fi ?????

[Gabriel Noraa]

Also H57 Intel's chipset for next year is very promissing.

There is no X-Fi on the board! There is only the X-FI MB application which comes with the board and emulates all effects through software, by using the CPU. ( the X-Fi MB can be used on various other configurations, its free for 30 days and it even works on older laptops with ALC codecs ).

[Monstru]

This looks like a real jewel!!!

woa, nice!!!!!

why would you even want a full size or matx board?
this is perfect for a gaming rig or work rig... and depending on the pwm and bios, it might even be a great benching and enthusiast board, at least for air and maybe water...

[Splave]

will be replacing my tired 7750 and ud4p htpc setup with this and an i5 750 ftw!

[Kondik]

An Amazing board, i7 HTPC with 4 GB DDR 1600, One 5970. Overkill mmm, I like the smell of the burning FPS in the morning

[clayton]

Heh Brown PCB.

[Mescalamba]

Heh Brown PCB.

Its black, what you see are connection lines on PCB..

[cirthix]

wish it had 4 slots for ram, even if they were sodimms. still, looks pretty nice

[Lestat]

i cant believe no one is talking about how to cool an i7 in that small of a form factor....
if anyone says "stock cooler" i will personally fly to your house and slam your pee pee in the toilet seat.

and the really NEED to go back and make a 775 version, there are far far FAR more 775 owners than i7

[WhiteFireDragon]

looks like you're forced to use the pcie slot for a video card. looks like the zotac 9300 board is still superior in some aspects, especially for space limitations and/or lower power consumption CPU's.
