*** Aktuelle Preise sobald verfügbar, 999,90 EUR ist natürlich NICHT der korrekte Preis ***

This means this is not the correct price

[virtualrain]

Is it true that Abit's uguru monitoring solution does not allow temps/voltages to be monitored through apps like Speedfan?

Does that apply to all of their newer mobo's like this one?

No. A friend of mine with a AW9D-Max uses speedfan without a problem.

The NB heatsink doesn't look like it's gonna cool that well.

[Knight]

[GrossmeisterB]

Any more news on this board?? Has anyone tested one yet?
I'd like to see some reviews/tests of it!!!

[DTU_XaVier]

All those wierd names for motherboards these days... "QuadGT"? "PowerUp edition"... What happened to a nice codename on the box a'la the good old MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum days, or even further back with a good ASUS A7N8X?? Or just for giggles the ASRock K7S8X... Where's the fun in having a whacky name on the box??
And all those slogans... Quad me this, Quad me that... Total über power is gonna rock your world, etc... I'm ired of it, give me a good board, that hasn't had half it's R&D cost put into names and slogans.

Best Regards

after reading the specs, I couldn't see anything special or interesting about that board

Who cares about specs any more we run everything above specs someone should overclock that board

single Ethernet, generic sound, no real interesting features, and a competitive AMD solution could be had for almost a third of the price

Personally I don’t care much about those features + when AMD relapse K8L we will start to worry about AMD mobos

[justin_c]

nnstep, how dare you say that? the only interesting feature i see is max fsb. max fsb is the only important factor in my next mobo purchase.

[deeznuts]

The bios reset thingie is pretty cool, no? I for some reason can never get over the stigma of onboard sound (use a HDA Mystique for "dolby digital in games" whatever that means. What are two ethernet ports for anyway? I am curious.

do you really use 2 ethernet ports? And onboard sound is something most of us try to avoid, and IIRC u have a soundcard... So why complain? That said, prices of mobo's are jumping up quite a bit recently. That might have something to do with this newfangled ROHS compliance.

[xlink]

ROHS compliance is garbage.

our electronics will alst half as long while cositng more.

If I have to buy the product twice it's less enviromentally friendly than if I bought it once.

Which raises the point, why ARE there so many boards with 2 ethernet ports? Are people really using them?

[T07N]

I don't know what I would use my 2nd ethernet port for. Why do people need 2 anyways?

[Varsos]

For server use!!!One for router and the other for hub.

really cause you get get a Via 890 chipset with exactly the same features (minus a few SATA) for less than $60 and it'll still be ROHS compliant
