Asus to "update" X79 lineup for Ivybridge-E

[Ace123]

while strolling my usual forums I cought this little nugget from Forum Moderator HiVizMan on the ROG forums

I can confirm that their will be revisions in the X79 range. Just think back to the X58 range where their were quite a few. What those revisions will be, or which boards will get a make over I am unable to comment on. What I can say is wait until IDF second week of September for a media update.

Well the new CPU's are being listed on line as it is, one of the lads here has been sent his shipping details

I Saw This before on ROG forums while trying to find any info or leak about a new Rampage V mobo. i am begging for a nice refresh.

[lutjens]

Maybe they'll include a version of AI Suite that actually works...

[SoF]

Black Edition yeah!

RIIIE-BE was so cool xD

Some posts on overclockers.co.uk: (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...php?t=18478446)

It would be Rampage V Formula for X79 and I am not sure about this one never asked R and D team.

@Helios probably if you have Ivy E. As the board is built from the ground up to maximize the overclocking and IMC on this chip.

I will let you guys know as soon as I can.

Yes there is!!! I am will have one very soon

I have to demo it on launch so practice time is paramount post Games Con.

Yea the first board on the Asus x79 refresh is the deluxe which has 8 ram slots that now supports 128gb of ram!!!! 16gb sticks must be coming. It has 12 sata 6gb ports no controller was listed.

What's up with gold everywhere these days?

[givmedew]

Yeh what is up with the gold... like Gigabyte did (or whoever) then just everyone had to jump on board without even wondering if people like the color to begin with! Even my Asrock Z87 OC Formula has that stuff on it.

[MaddMuppet]

I think it looks kind of cool.

[aussie-revhead]

Black and gold is generally a classy combination of colours, ROG colours are best though and easier to colour match parts with (who makes gold accessories and ram sticks?) lol

I was just about to buy an R4E, so this news is just in time for me, I eagerly await news.

I love Asus but these colours got to go.

Agreed...really gaudy looking. I prefer the plain, understated black. They can even bling up a black board...carbon fiber something...

[m_jones_]

According to some research people in Asia seem really fond of the gold colour scheme, I much prefer their blue colour scheme. I can't stand red and black, it has been done to death.

Intel Ivy Bridge-E Core i7-4960X IPC and OCing Review @ [H] using the new Asus X79 Deluxe.

[Ace123]

there is quite a bit wrong with his review.

[utmode]

Anymore leaked MB other than Deluxe. I am guessing it (deluxe) will pricey

4930K and the new ROG X79 board, not long now before all is revealed.

[lutjens]

Before all of what is revealed? A new board based on X79 is more of the same. Intel has given them an old jalopy and asked them to put a new coat of paint on it to make it appear new. But underneath, it's still the same old neutered X79...and although Asus is good, there's nothing they can do to change that unfortunate reality.

[NEOAethyr]

Well I'm looking forward to it, coming from an amd.
I was sick of buying a rig, top of the line at the time and still have it feel like it's 3 gens back.
That's what it felt like with amd and it's mem clocking,.. and now it's overall cpu performance.
Oh and it's crappy bios'es .

I'm sure as heck aren't gonna buy another amd until they can get the performance back up.
From my standpoint, amd wise there's nothing to upgrade to (except bios support lol), intel is the only choice.
And seeing that a new cpu is coming out, perhaps board refreshes, and lower power consumption and potentially the highest performing last of the ddr3 gen... I'm actually happy to see this.
And besides they aren't supposedly disabling cores this time around, might help a bit with power consumption.

I'll be skipping ddr4, it's like ddr2 to me, useless until the very end.
Say I decide to jump on board at that time and all the sudden ddr5 comes along so screw ddr4 .

Edit:
Oh and asus, please allow the bios to clock the pcie bus..., up past 250mhz pretty please .

No game improvements, don't give a rat's ass. (and that goes for both Asus' new lineup and Ivybridge-e) If I'm doing anything else I never wait around for it. That's the beauty of owning multiple rigs...
