[UPDATE]abit AW9D-MAX first result

[kiner]

-Why do we need that ATX 4-pin plug on the motherboard. I guess it's no big deal but it seems like a waste of space and resources. Or am I missing something here? I'm guessing there thought was that someone would use this to hook up a fan or something??? I'd much rather have a cleaner and smaller standard 3-pin.

That provides more power to PCI-E 16x ...

I guess you culd use that 4-pin to hook up your GPU's. Didn't even think of that. I wonder how efficent it is to do that. Drawbacks and such. I'm a firm believer in always running power from the source through a dedicated line. Running it trough the motherboard just seems...strange. I'd like more info on this.

^^ Do you have to use that if you are only using a single PCI-e 16x card?

I'm really reallu reallu digging this board ever since i saw it on the 18th on the intarweb. I've never owned an ABIT product but they seem like a reasonably decent developer.

Coolaler can you do me a fav and do a gaming benchmark between this board and that DFI on stock 6300 & overclocked (LCD) speeds by chance ?

[Sanborn]

I have another question, whats with the lowest PCI-e slot that seems extremely close to the edge ?

heee... I meant that more power to "PCI-e 16x" not to "GPU"...

then you can oc the frequency of dual PCI-e 16x more easily .. ?

anyway, let's see what coolaler can show us after Tiger wang beat Tiger ...

That will be for the bundled AudioMax audio card with bling bling LEDs!
I'm looking forward for this motherboard too..

[Sanborn]

ahh cool, Creative needs to stop being a ***** and lease out new EAX technology

[pcmoddingmy]

EAX on this board would be cool though, but I guess most of us have to live with Dolby Master Studio certification.

just for comparesing how much does the asus p5B dlx cost there?

P5B DLX WIFI costs 171€ (~215$)
P5B DLX costs 158€ (~200$, but not avb.)

take a look here http://www.geizhals.at/eu/

[Sanborn]

Given the current motherboards I would probably buy one for $250.

one thing i dont like is uguru atm, its fine for ocing but one thing that really annoys me on it is that there is no loging option and it seems the same version as on the al8 that im using atm, and no other monitoring software can be used on them, mbm, speedfan, systool none work

P5B Deluxe is €158, Deluxe WiFi is €171. So, $202 and $218.

Edit: Woops, I'm late.

[tvdang7]

this has been stated before but i dont get why theres only 1 pci slot. surely they could of fit another in there some how. i have an audigy ZS and want a tv tuner when i build again. ahhh im a big abit fan. i had 3 differnt abit s939 boards do dont think im some anti abit dude.

[axlros75]

Anyone knows where is possible to buy or pre-order this fantastic AW9D board?

Thank you

[Harshal]

Dats a sweet board and a gr8 start
Thanks Coolaler!

[NicoOCZ]

Yeah. I mentioned that in my previous post

[n-sanity]

could you PLEASE show us how an e6300 handles on these things ??? Cause god, its so tempting for my next mobo!

I won't be needing even the one pci slot anyway...

[querman]

really does it have 4 phase voltage regulators?

[death metal]

Waiting for Wang win the game tomorrow

COOLALER, is that you?

[JayG30]

COOLALER, is that you?

LOL are you serious???

Thats one of the yankee pitchers. A newer guy. His name is right under his feet.

[Sumanji]

Please, please, please... let this board be THE ONE!

[SamHughe]

*Drumroll*

And the worst layout on a Conroe board goes to.....

Even worse than A8N32-SLI

And i started a Thread bout the color changes - maybe they go back to fully black when we tell em that we like that better.

I don't think they'll change it. If red/black is their color sheme for the retail boards, it will stay like that. Even if it's still 2 weeks until mid september, hellofalot boards have been produced already and are prolly about to be shipped to shops arround the world. They wouldn't throw those away and redesign it because a few chaps ask for it

[M.Beier]

When is the game? - Im not a huge baseball fan, so I frankly have no idea when they play, I just wanna slap him once the match's over so he'll start working on giving one hell of a good review

COOLALER, is that you?

Yeah Coolaler is Wang Chlen-Ming, didnt you know that?
