ASUS Crosshair IV Formula (Picture preview)

[SF3D]

Hi!

Here is the latest ASUS motherboard for AMD CPU's. It is called Crosshair IV Formula. Extreme version is rumoured to come out later. These will be the best choices for upcoming AMD X6 Thuban CPU's

Can not talk much about features and performance until the 890FX NDA ends.

***Heatsinks are not final versions, as you can see from the pictures***

Here is the board:




















There you go!

More stuff coming later.

I hope they will make a version with that Heatsink <3 see that would be unique

[FatAlbert]

hey there SF3D

can you tell something about speed of the pcie ? First is 16/8, second is 16/8 third is 16/8 and last is x4 ? or x8 ?

[Monstru]

Great pics Petri, and a sexy looking girl she is. The heatsink might look like this, and the Exreme Version like bellow

[FatAlbert]

the best board I ever saw for amd cpu, ASUS CIVE

but maybe DFI LanParty on nForce 590 was beautiful too

[B]Hi!

When does the 890FX NDA end?

[Dyn0miteMat]

Picking one of these beasts up when they come up along with a nice x6. Any word on differences between the formula/extreme boards other than maybe pci-e configuration (I only need two slots, so either will suffice).

[ridney]

nice pics, wonder why the red colors on the board is quite strange, they look dull compared to other pics i've seen. what does that 'go button' do?

[namegt]

Nice motherboard
When a test ...?

[SF3D]

nice nice

Yes, lets hope you will see one soon as well.

Actually that would be cool. Save 10€ and have this kind of cooling solution. I would not have anything against it.

I can not tell that info yet, but I think some stuff is already floating around internet, so you should find answer pretty soon.

I hope not, but obviosly those are the heatsinks they will use

I agree! This board looks great and it is nice to have this type of boards for AMD as well.

Sorry, I can not give this info to you. You should find this from web as well.

There should not be any radical differences. Extreme is more for extreme users, so 4x VGA will fit better.

The memory slots are more like orange in real life than red. The PCI-E slots are not ferrari red or something like that. Colours are mostly like in the pictures.

Nice motherboard
When a test ...?

This weekend, but due to freaking NDA, I can't show anything.

But with X6 launch later this spring you will see a lot

[Lagg Master]

Over on hardware canucks they think the price for the board will be between $200 to $220.
Cant wait to see what other features were added on after the Crosshair III

[OverShocked]

Wow, this is like the classy of AMD.

To bad EVGA doesnt make boards for AMD.

on the photos in the internet we can clearly see that the forth slot is x4, that's not good but maybe for the triple fire it will be good choice

I agree! This board looks great and it is nice to have this type of boards for AMD as well.

waiting for it why sooooooo looooong to realse the board or more info about C4E

[xman01]

if the shi.t it spits out is impressive
i'll ditch this m4 for 1

btw, do u heard about second great mobo from blue-red company , think, this blue-red monster will a bit better than Crosshair IV.

One question to Cross IV, what AIR overclocking? Its a bit better than 790FX boards?

[zads]

What's the two CLR CMOS buttons for? One for each in Dual BIOS?

[The Duke]

great pics ... cant wait to know more about the board

[Lagg Master]

What's the two CLR CMOS buttons for? One for each in Dual BIOS?

If you look behind the button you can see TU
I you look at this picture of the board from hardware canucks



Looks like it has the same button setup with the TU being the turbo.
Here are the rest of the pictures from hardware canucks.



















Also these heat sinks on the chipsets and Mosfets are expose to look like crystals.

Aw... what sucks is that my AMD rig is a blue/white color scheme. I know that looks aren't everything, but I keep it somewhere on my priorities.

ROG connect and it looks like a dedicated onboard sound chip?

I am guessing that it is basically this chip from the crosshair III just built onto the mother board.


These are 2 features that the Maximus III Formula has that i hope the Crosshair IV Formula gets.

So..Hey, Where's the X-Fi！

[lkiller123]

Very nice, and what is the button on the first picture?

[Lagg Master]

So..Hey, Where's the X-Fi！

The only thing i can think of for that is i think hardware canucks got a more recent version of the board. If you check out some of the pictures on the net you will see some have the X-Fi chip and some don't.

[AMD_Freak]

I wasnt planning on upgrading anytime soon until I seen this board matches my system perfect gotta luv the Black N Red, cant wait to hear more about this
maybe a little overtime and I can throw in an AMD x6 cuz we all know you need 6 cores to game
