That looks sick!

[Mad1723]

That CPU level up is for overclocking for noobish... perfect for me... but the price will be a major problem I guess

[Atom]

I'm definitely getting this if it's gonna clock quads well
Looks better than sick!!

[kemo]

So why there is no chipset water cooling for the DDR2 part or it is sold separately !!!!

That's what I'm saying! it looks like an attempt to push towards ddr3 imo.

Push DDR3 and squeeze our pockets pay extra 100$ for Mobo and like extra 600$ for 4GB of ram

So asus are using an external chip to split the x16 pci-e from the nb to 2x8 when running dual cards - What kind of impact does the extra chip have on performance when using a single card?

[Nedjo]

What kind of impact does the extra chip have on performance when using a single card?

It's reasonable gueass that in a case of this solution single card is working with full 16 lines on one PEG slot!

[onewingedangel]

Yes, but what would the added latency of going through a tunnel chip do for performance?

Fusion wb on chipset looks really sick!

[Fr3ak]

The watercooler on the chipset looks really nice. Hopefully it is designed the way that it still works ok with the heatpipes and no watercooling gear attached to it.

Too bad the chipset laggs a second PCI-E X16. Otherwise it would bhe the perfect board to get in case it turns out to oc like other P35 boards.

[saaya]

the chipset waterblock is interesting...
but wth is that heatpipe for that goes from the sb and ends between the two pciE slots?

and crosslinx technology... sounds... amazing.
did they patent it?

[onewingedangel]

but wth is that heatpipe for that goes from the sb and ends between the two pciE slots?

above mentioned external chip

[MsB]

I'd guess that the cross fire chip is there to provide greater lockability and Isolation, in relation to NB and SB, of the PCI-e lanes while OCing . I just bought the gigabyte p35. O well theres always something newer and cooler just around the corner. can't wait to see how this thing oc's

[lawrywild]

I want one.. lol

[Johnny Bravo]

The fusion block is a good idea - but - it is interesting that this is the direction that manufacturers are starting to take, the requirement for water cooling. The board does look good tho, I hope it's not got a massive price premium however. With the advent of the x38 chipset with x16 + x16 we should see two tiers of Intel based motherboards that could challenge Nvidias stronghold on the SLi market.

[Thorry]

lol loving the cmos clear switch in the back.

I've had one of those for years on my K7S5A _/-\O_

[screwtech02]

Need to see some "crossfire" performance on this board at x8-x8.. Rumor is the X38 chipset at x16 is going to go for a premium price, but if this crosslink stuff works, and there is no hit in performance, then why not??

[Zytek_Fan]

I want the DDR2 version

I like the Crazy option for the CPU

[[XC] Lead Head]

That chip is probably extremely similar to the one on the 7950GS, or whatever it was called, the one with dual GPUs.

[vudoodoodoo]

lol @ "Crazy" setting.

[perkam]

lol @ "Crazy" setting.

If only because they have NO idea what crazy really is

Sick board though...one more day, one more reason to go intel X(

[Bounc3y]

man the watercooled chipset is awesome.. wonder how much the board will cost >.>

[STaRGaZeR]

1/2" barbs? If not, provide an adapter, plz Asus...
