Are we there yet ?
i am Still waiting...
+1i am Still waiting...
Would this board ever see the light of the day. Is foxconn trying to hold back to fine tune the BIOS.I am waiting for this or a 790i Ultra board from DFI, if there is one
i7 Rigs
Mobo:EVGA Classified/Foxconn BR
CPU:W3540/i7 920(D0)
RAM: Dominator GT 2000 cl7/Patriot DDR3-2000 cl8

Lappy:
Late 2008 "Unibody" MBP 2.4 GHZ(with OCZ Vertex 250GB)
Sorry guys,
anyone knows when Foxconn Dreadnoughts (790i) will be on stock?
Thanks
If I had to guess...probably within a few weeks after the release of the GTX260, or after the price of the GTX280s drop a little. Foxconn is probably waiting to see how people react to the GTX series once things mature and prices stabilize before the board gets unleashed.

Hi Guys, few pics of my board i've had on test... Will have LN2 tomorrow to see what she can really do.
Is that aluminum WB top i see, a la blackops?
TJ07 | Corsair HX1000W | Gigabyte EX58 Extreme | i7 930 @ 4ghz | Ek Supreme | Thermochill PA 120.3 | Laing DDC 12v w/ mod plexi top | 3x2gb Corsair 1600mhz | GTX 680 | Raid 0 300gb Velociraptor x 2 | Razer Lachesis & Lycosa | Win7 HP x64 | fluffy dice.
Yes mate, alloy top with countersunk o-ring rubber seals around the barbs, very good quality really.
Thank you, Baron_Greenback! Waiting for your overclocking feedback about this mobo.
Nothing special...
this is a very kickass board,
i wonder how good the extreme cooling attachment really is
E8400 @ 4.8Ghz on Vapochill LS | NVIDIA 790i Ultra SLI | BFG GTX 280 SLI | PC Power & Cooling 1200W | Bench Sled
Its a benching board...
one or two sata ports is enough...
Is this board going to be released with a BIOS that is ready for prime time?
I have come to like my BlackOps quite a bit, but I bought it when it first came out and frankly the BIOS did not really work in many ways.
This has now been fixed with the new beta BlackOps BIOS.
But hopefully Foxconn will learn from their mistakes with Blackops and not release Dreadnought until everything is fully functional and stable.
Also hopefully this 790i board will not have the corruption issues of the other 790i boards.
QX9770@3.66Ghz 24/7 365
790i STriker II Extreme Rock Solid Stable (finally)
8GB Corsair XMB 1600Mhz DDR3
MSI 280GTX OC 650/2300 in SLI
300GB Velociraptor, 500GB Data
4X Liteon Blu-ray Burner
MMORPG
Vista 64
Board looks awesome just as the Blackops board did...but support seemed like it as never there for the Blackops...it was hyped like hell and performed too, but without the support, it isn't worth it...I hope things are different with this one...I was gonna go 790i but the corruption issues steered me away from the Striker II Extreme...I'm hoping th 4870 performs as good as the GTX 280...then we won't need an Nvidia chipset for multi-gpu setups.

I'm back!
Now is the time to start bench this motherboard seriously. There is new bios available (not public) and it is making my life a lot easier.
SLI is working like it should now and other bugs are history too.
Here is some Quad SLI scores, which I did just a moment ago.

I will get 3x Foxconn GTX 280 cards on wednesday or thursday. First LN2 results will follow in friday-sunday axle.
You are as good as your samples are!
great results sf3d, gx2 seem relatively strong in vantage but they really get hurt with the physx stuff!
i did some quick testing last night, trying to find max stable cpu clocks, i think im sitting around 5590~mhz for entry and performance
Nice results so far SF3D.
The new bios fixes the video freezing and data corruption also ?

Almost a month now since it's official release, yet none are available for sale and no one seems to know when it will come out.
Kind of makes a review on the "retail version" pointless if no one can buy the board.

I hope to get my CPU to 5.6GHz too.
Do you have 3x 280GTX? If so, let's rock with this motherboard
You are as good as your samples are!
New toys arrived today.
These cards are really powerful, but it's a pity, that SLI is not working efficiently on 3-way SLI systems. Only Vantage and 3DM03 is showing, what these cards can really do. Vantage H and X frame rates are impressivley high comparing to 9800GX2.
Here is my first tests. I'm just starting to get used to these cards
(Sorry, I used 177.39 drivers and PhysX support)

holy crap, i wanna see those with a qx9770 and raid 0 on a pair of ssd's, but man, did those arrive complimentery, or are did you pawn off some stuff/have extra cash lying around?
Well you just might see this with my QX9770 and Raid, saddly only SLI as I cannot run TRI-SLI on my rig because I need the slot for the ARC-1231ML controller card.
I am just awaiting the release of this board.
