Here is some eight core action (click the small screen): ->see no screen...

If you use my program you will see your 8threads at 100% continous!
And i'am sure that the Nehalem will be faster then a Skulltrail at the same speed!

Hi all! I hope to receive a new Core i7 965 XE CPU this week, so I can provide you some scores soon. Wish me luck with this new one

The board is working like it should and Crysis / Crysis warhead is running well on SLI setup

[SF3D]

NDA is finally over and I can share my first resuts with Core i7 940 CPU.

These were done with early stage, so better scores are coming later.

Setup:

Foxconn Renaissance X58 Digital life
A-Data 1600X DDR3 3x 1GB
Intel Core i7 940
Thermaltake TP 1200W

Wow I think Foxconn read my mind on what color board I want. It will match perfect with my Tribal Skulls case. And not to mention the price of this board wow. I am wondering if this board will run G Skill D9GTS 12800 3 x 1GB sticks? Also why is there no RESET/CMOS buttons like the BlackOps? Great job so far on the reviews SF3D and Saaya.

[SF3D]

Haha.. this motherboard will be perfect to your case.

[BiTsCrEaM]

Looking very nice, when can we expect BIOS pics etc.?

[HDCHOPPER]

are you just being safe or is 3.8 the limit for your cpu ??

[Lu(ky]

SF3D any more benches coming our way? How does the board do with high voltage? Would you recommend water cooling parts other then CPU. Thanks

[SF3D]

I thought that it was the limit of my cpu, but it wasn't It can do 4GHz vantage/3DM06 on air, so it's not the worst 940 cpu.

Yes. I should receive one 965 CPU tomorrow and I will do some more testing. LN2 test will come when I will have car again. I crashed my car last Thursday

You don't need watercooling on other parts than CPU. X58 might get hot, if you stress it a lot, but it shouldn't be an issue.

[SF3D]

Here is some bios shots. As you can see, there is only the very basic options available. (Sorry about the quality)

[Lu(ky]

What do you think the MAX OC on water with a i7-920 in Triple channel & this board?

[tayto_-]

I have some good news for you guys!

The price of this motherboard will be around 250 USD. (185€)

This motherboard should be available immediately when Core i7 is launched.

I've just seen this board @ Overclockers for £293.74 inc VAT !!!! that's about 340 euro!!!! What the hell! i really wanted this Mobo! but not at that price!

Anybody know where i can find it cheaper in europe ?

[BrokeDown]

Wow. That board is simply amazing. I love the layout and colors. I'm 99% sure this will be the next board I go with. I was planning on a C2D/790i build but now that i7 is out I think I'm going to wait a little bit and go all out on this one.

When is this board supposed to be available for sale in the US?

[Lu(ky]

So when or where is this board for SALE? Does this board have any CMOS/RESET buttons on it?

Thanks

It should be available really soon in your area. You can already get the board in EU, but I don't know about USA.

Price isn't that bad. 270€ and it will get lower after launch

[BrokeDown]

SF3D, do you know when the US will get this board?

No I don't. Sorry! It shouldn't take too long.



Somebody asked about cmos reset button. It is there. Check the area behind S-ATA connectors. There is triangle in the button and there is red light in it, when motherboard is powered up.

Wow...very tempting...although I'm looking at another $800 in upgrades

[Lu(ky]

I will be pulling the trigger on this board with a i7-920 at the end of this month... Will update with PIX with setup complete.... And I was wondering if I could use my current memory on this board? G Skill DDR3 PC-12800 2GB (D9GTS)

Thanks for your help SF3D
