    I have a 6600 on the way and was getting ready to order a Foxconn 975X7AA but on NewEgg I read this: "Revision AA does not support Conroe. Revision 975X7AB is on the way, and will offer more overclocking options (Memory Divider Options) I should have the CPU by Wednesday and want to make sure the mobo I get is compatible.

    Bad Axe ver 302

    Hi guys !

    I dont know if this is obsolete info to you, but anyway
    here it goes:
    I have an Bad Axe ver 302 with ADP 3189 buck controller on it.
    I checked its specs and finded out that it does support VR11.

    http://search.analog.com/search/defa...+3189&local=en

    FEATURES
    Selectable 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-phase operation at up to 1 MHz per phase
    ±7.7 mV worst-case differential sensing error over temperature
    Logic-level PWM outputs for interface to external high power drivers
    Active current balancing between all output phases
    Built-in power-good/crowbar blanking supports on-the-fly VID code changes
    Digitally programmable 0.5 V to 1.6 V output supports both VR10.x and VR11 specifications
    Programmable short-circuit protection with programmable latch-off delay
    APPLICATIONS
    Desktop PC power supplies for
    Next generation Intel® processors
    VRM modules

    So is there any chance at all, that Conroe support will come
    with Bios update ???
    Or is it just those resistors and capacitors which will do the trick ?
    Because i thought that D975XBX was originally designed for Conroe.
    Wasnt Conroes "nickname" Bad Axe at in some early design stage ?
    ( The register 2004 or 2005 if i remember ).
    I hate to buy a new mobo twice a year, cause they cost ~250€ +
    shipping here in Finland.
