Nice price in Netherlands.

This costs 300€ in Finland, so it will be a bit cheaper in Germany etc.

Well, we have quite good prices here. We shouldn't complain

Yellow name tag.. I guess I'm officially Swedish now .... nooooooooo

It's the champion color

Excellent pics, SF3D! Artistic, informative, & sharp.

Looks pretty sweet! It's like I'm looking at my own Christmas present.

Too bad school comes first.

[T_Flight]

School is fun! I'm glad your priorities are in order. I really enjoy reading things like you just wrote, because these computers are fun too, but you went straight to what has to come first. You can do anything you want down the road with good schooling and good grades. It's important.

You'll have a Christmas break you can mess with computers and do it when you have free time. They can wait, but you only get one chance at school.


Back on the subject of this mobo, every time a reply hits this thread my heart skips beats! heh

I really enjoy all the pics, and can't wait for release of detailed info. I know alot of people have expressed anxiousness to share that info, but I have a feeling we don't have much longer to wait. Hang onto it, they have good reasons for those NDA's. It'll be a big party when they lift them. Intel and Asus has some pretty smart people.

Thanks for posting these. It's appreciated.

Very nice layout and good looking to boot! I much perfer these square buttons to the gaudy round plasticy crap on the *latest* RoG boards. A big red "START" give me a break.

More pics and results are coming later..

hazzan u bought that or review unit??? dam nice and dam envy... >.<

Hello SF3D how are you doing in Sweden...err i mean Finland? Me want what you have P Though only part of what u have....lol. See I currently have an Asus Rampage Extreme...and would like to get the new Rampage II Extreme....only thing is the RIIE does not have the OC Palm.

So, since the p6t uses overclock utility turbo V. Can I not simply dl the drivers from asus and use a OC palm with a rIIe? I mean it is afterall a usb based peripherial, i'm sure that the drivers that are used to make the oc palm work on a p6t can work on the rIIe as well. Surely, there's a go around for implementing the oc palm on another asus mb?

Asus designs both mb's with the same 16+2 phase power and other features so using drivers for the turbo V on a rIIe should not be all that different.

How many kr did the p6t oc palm edition cost? How much can the oc palm be bought separately for....shipped to USA?

Please let me know?

[SF3D]

Haha Thunder 2008!

I have the quick answer for you. On P6T, there is TurboV chip on board. That chip handles the changes you make with OC Palm.

On RIIE, there is that Tweakit panel on board and you can change settings on the fly with that. I personally prefer Tweakit, but OC palm is nice looking and it can be used even if motherboard is inside case. RIIE is not in the case usually

I hope this will help you to decide

[Dualist]

Nice pics and very nice mobo there SF3D

btw, what camera did you use.?

[HDCHOPPER]

All results are done with Core i7 940 CPU and on aircooling. These results should be easy for everyone

Setup:

ASUS P6T Deluxe OC Palm edition
GTX 280 SLI
A-DATA 1600X memory 3x 1GB
1200W Thermaltake PSU

Here is some screenshots:









Core i7 is great! You will love it for sure

[Solarfall]

I did test these CPU's with Dry ice today. It was really bad day for me, cause I didn't get the LN2

There is nothing spectacular to show, so let's wait the better results

[chuckbam]

Asus now as the P6T-D manual pdf on the ftp.

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LGA1366/

[Utnorris]

FYI, I was in the Microcenter in Dallas today and the P6T was on the shelf. $349.99, however they do not have any chips in yet.

Tank Guys web site says they have them on hand but can not ship them till Nov 17th

[NaeKuh]

UGH i think thats why mine is sitting at asus still.

Dammit i got custom blocks being drafted for this board as we speak.
Cant finish anything until i get it sent off to my builder. :\

[Gautam]

There should be no embargo on the boards. :S

[T_Flight]

Guys buyer beware until after the 17th. I've seen places selling Bloomfield stuff, but they are price gouging like crazy. It's a common tactic. They sell before release before they have widespread competition and gouge the guys who want them early. I've seen this stuff going for 100's of more dollars than e-tailer list price. Don't let them rip you off. Overseas it's really bad. There is no way in hell a RIIE is gonna go for 800 US dollars. I converted a price from Euros to US and that's what I got. I'm not even gonna repeat where I saw that.

I would hope Intel goes after these places doing this. I don't know whether it's illegal, but it should be. Intel ought to cut them off next round of releases for doing it.

[Utnorris]

This had Microcenter's standard price tag on it and being $350 for the new board didn't seem out of whack. They only had one and would have sold it to me if I wanted it. It's not on their website yet, so it may be that they were not supposed to have it out yet. I just thought it was interesting. It's not that you can use it yet anyway without the chips to go with it.
