New Asus & Intel P35 mobos - Blitz Extreme & Blitz Formula

[Tony]

you ONLY need 16x16 at silly high res....8x8 is just fine even for 24" LCD's

[erwinz]

very nice..

how much will it be on retail.. 300usd hahaha

Finally ASUS has some decent cooling idea. With NB waterblock you have 4 elements on a single loop and single block: NB, SB, CROSSLINX chip and PWM - the heatpipes would transfer the heat from all hot elements to one place where water cools it. Much better than joining two hot elements with a heatpipe, like in Striker or P5N32-E

i want modded driver for P35 and 8x8x G80 SLI !!!

Meh... All ASUS seems to be lately (past few years) is full of flashy / LED infested / brand-engineered rubbish. Instead of using quality parts, they make up fake technology and give fancy names to everything. Then they charge you an arm and a leg for it.

I will be getting the Intel X38 motherboard.

[WRC]

the x38 is said to support pci-e 2.0, would it offer any real life perfomance increase or just another 2X increase in theoretical bandwith

[screwtech02]

Maybe just "wishfull" thinking, but it all looks good on paper!!!

[yaddam205]

Anyone else notice Asus was taking a swipe @ the Evga Black Pearl with "inefficient" cooling solution.

However i do love the idea of the "Water Pipe" setup.

[ColonelCain]

Wait, so IF you get the Extreme, would water flow throughout the board? That would kill performance....

[mrcape]

Sweeet water pipe brah, can I get a pull of that?

Sorry.

[Haltech]

Something tells me this board is going to have BIOS issues like all of the others. Im going to caution the purchase of this thing until it proves otherwise.

[safan80]

it doesn't matter if you have 2 x8 PCI-E lanes with the x2k series of cards. With the 2 bridges, you have the theoretical bandwith of 2 x16 slots.

got a link showing this?

hopefully it's stable and not $600 at launch

[xVeinx]

I would laugh if it was $600 dollars, especially since it will be purchased by the same people who buy the 8800 Ultra series GPUs.

[erwinz]

mm...knowing asus.. mm.. i guess 400 usd..

they arente ven using the full potential of 16x PCI-e and theyw ant to bring out another level of PCI-e
wtf ever, these designers are never gong to learn.

you maximise what you have in the market. you dont just take what you made 6 months ago and throw it away.

in my field if they did that none of the businesses would be around today.

improvements are made to the technolgy thats there, small baby steps are put into new units to increase productivity and performance.

these are computer/electronic/networking based components.


i want to knwo when the frack someone is going to come out with a faster hard drive system.

you can have all this speed and power youw ant but we are STILL bottlenecked by our hard drives and access times.
until they can come out with a hard drive that can keep up with the demands that are asked of it, we will always be bottle necked.

and no flash drive hard drives are not the answer, they are no faster than todays sata II drives.

this is neat and all but you boys beter be prepaired to fork over more money than you ever have before.

not to mention the fact that the crap isnt going to work anyways when you release it, they will deny everything, take forever to release bios's.... need i go on with the history of asus that we all know is true, and still happening today.

Pretty much sums it up right there

Ill be the first to guess $499 for the non liquid cooled version and $599 for the liquid version. Sad thing, people will pay it and than ultimately, attempt to justify the purchase.

[fhpchris]

It better be 1/2 barbs and all copper, or it will be useless.

[luihed]

Question is, will vcores between 1.63v to 1.75v be accessible or will it be the same with present ROG boards..... The mobo looks good and Im sure Asus will sell a bunch of them, more reason for them to not give a crap about you after they get your money......

[Spacemaster]

I dont read all posts, so Blitz Extreme (DDR3) will have water cit or just WB at NB?

[ntvh]

MB is looking very very juicyyyy. Hope it won't cost alot otherwise I have to wait for long longer time. I think the water line is 3/4 not 1/2 but if it is 1/2..It would be very sweet.

[ntvh]

Please tell please this is the price

and covert to US $

Not bad at all. I can stop eat lunch to save some $$$$ for that.

ASUS Blitz Formula 1505 Beta Bios
[ 1505]
----------------------
1. Support E0 stepping CPU

ASUS Blitz Extreme 1101 Beta Bios
[ 1101]
----------------------
1. Support E0 stepping CPU

[memory]

Is there any newer bios that can support E6300(new R0 stepping) on Blitz Extreme?

Official Bios 1101 on the webby does not support my new E6300. The rig keeps power recycle and failed to boot up at all. But not problem booting up with 1007 beta bios but it prompt me to update to newer bios coz unknown CPU detected during post screen
