I dont like the layout.

Can you explain bit more baout SAS, is SAS interface for SSD solid state disks?

SAS is a special serial attached SCSI port, which is typically an enterprise level interface. SAS drives are expensive but offer higher throughput than normal consumer level drives.

16 phase CPU PWM... Cra-aaazy I tell you!


Btw, why does X58 have so friggin HUGE die?

A) That is 16, notice the 3 for memory I suspect ... or is that for the chipset?

B) Large L3 cache.

Having soo many RAM slots on a desktop board is a bit ridiculous. The vast majority of high-end power users and gamers will have 3 x 1GB or 3 x 2GB RAM, so why not use just 3 slots and save a load of space

Because a high number of users might want to use more than 3 sticks, just like lots of them use 4 sticks now... the Intel reference board has only 4 slots if you want that.

I've seen some questions about the NB cooling. There is no NB anymore. The NB went away along with the FSB. The memory controller is on the CPU now.

This board is the Super OC'er of the universe. I have not found any other board that has naything remotely close to 16 phase power.

What I want to see is the max clocks this thing has done at -120C. Somebody has already done this I know.

Aw, and I don;t wanna hear NDA anymore. If somebody is under NDA please tell Intel "Enough Already!". It's less than a month from release and all we have is sketchy data. There is always something missing that would show what this thing is capable of.

This is the board they were using when they ran that Chip at 120 sub zero. Where's the benches? It's like a standoff here. It's time to cut loose and let the numbers fly. It's not like there is any competition that could capitalize on any info at all. I'm hoping there's not a problem here.

I'm a pretty big Intel fan, and I'm especially a fan of these new Nehalem CPU's, but I'm starting to wonder if something has gone terribly wrong, and so are others. If they don't soon release something they might start losing customers.

I don't think even current ASUS WS boards have PCI-X. It's all PCI-E now.

You'll have to look towards vendors like Supermicro or Tyan for such boards.

HI,
i'm not agree - my P5E WS has a PCI-X...

Haven't you hear? 12 Gigs is the recommended minimum for Windows 7 ... hardee harr harr harr

with 12 gigs it would interesting to see, if its possible to run the swap file in a ramdisk, 4gigs should be enough, and leave another 8 for the aps.

just wait for 4GB sticks of DDR3 and run 24GB!!!!

That would be bigger than the hard drive in my first laptop

ASUS P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition Spotted

To support the upcoming LGA-1366 socket Core i7 processors, motherboard manufacturers have their first-waves of motherboards ready. ASUS for one, has had its P6T Deluxe pictured before several of its competitors could have their flagship motherboards pictured on the internet. Enter P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition. What's new with this motherboard is that it bundles a gadget ASUS calls an "OC Palm", looking at its visual similarity to hand-held PCs. The device holds controls apart from an LCD screen. What this gadget does is, that it allows you on-the-fly overclocking of several system parameters for which, you would have had to use the system BIOS configuration. The device is handled by software that does the changes, it connects to the motherboard using standard USB interface, and the LCD screen gives the convenience of overclocking even when say playing a game. That apart, the package gives you essentially the same P6T Deluxe motherboard.

Nice Is the price of the motherboard mentioned anywhere?

[Astratuner]

I just wanted to post that here to.


Seems that fud was right afterall?

[GAR]

I hope Bloomfield delivers, i have this mixed up feeling about it.

[T_Flight]

They left out one thing. How much? How many US Dollars is this thing gonna cost?

Aw, and I noticed the pink was gone too. Good move.

intel also recommends not to use voltages higher then 1.3625 V with a absolute max of 1.45V for 45nm cpus.

[Ziwro]

I really think about buying this mobo but the pci exp. slots are problem. Cuz 1 is below the pci-e slot & the other is too close to vga-card, it may occur air circulation problem in order 2 use my skystar & creative cards. I need them both it might be ok if i use the second pci-e slot. Does anyone know these pci-e slots work at 16x ?

[Astratuner]

So you must buy a soundcard which fits in the pci slot underneat?

[MpG]

Probably comes with the Asus sound card. If it's like their other ROG boards, that PCI-E x1 slot up top is useless for anything else. You can use other sound cards, but you still don't get back that first slot.

Okay here is my problem.... I currently have 4 Gigs of Crucial Ballistix, actually 2 sets of these...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148146...

How in the name of god I'm going to be able to use them with a Corei7/Bloomfield combination? My current mem works at 1600 at 1.8V....

My other question, as a noob... if now we have 3 Channels of Ram in Bloomfield, would I still be able to run Dual Channel in this Mobo? Like installing 4 sticks and leave the remaining 2 other mem sockets alone....
