Marc you putting your foot in your mouth again man

[dinos22]

uhh...the lan port is there...they just decided to use a red port rather than normal black? to the right of the 2 blue USB 3 (im guessing)

he was to have 20 lan ports so his internets is 1337 leet

Marc you putting your foot in your mouth again man

Hell no, putting my foot in my doctors mouth.... Christ I best stop here

Nah; just recall your solution last; was it 3 setups for the loops?
Actually going to do 4-way SLI soon myself, please let me know if you got any software solution..... Will be 1 reference and 3 unique design products...

Eh, why crying over lan? Who uses onboard Lan? I'd rather have an onboard GPU, gaming is for the dogs and suckers, people game on consoles, PC is for farmville. Now a quality NIC, that's rare, and is needed. Why fuss over one NIC, any power user is going to just go buy an intel NIC, no reason to even ship a high end mobo with one, unless you are going to give us a good one.

Its not a third party solution.Its native, amd supports it, and nvidia licensed it.
Also to another poster.You dont need nf200 chip for four way sli, as 990FX has 2x16 OR 4x8 pci ex configuration.

Ahh so all they had to do was license it?

I read that AMD didn't like the whole idea, but its their chipset? =/

I never cared abotu NIC, and not bought a NIC since 1gbit was implanted on motherboards... But hey, I guess Im not a poweruser

Hope the bios is not jacked up like my z68-UD3P but love the looks

What do people use 2 lan ports for?

[bamtan2]

The Lan port is RED. It's next to the 6 audio ports on the righ.

Not hard to miss.

it is missing a port. there is a hole where the second port used to be. ud7 usually comes with 2x lan.

for the people wondering, certain power users need more lan ports to connect more lan devices.

for the people suggesting we just buy more lan cards for more lan ports. no kidding. or buy an expensive motherboard with more lan ports.

Man i hope bulldozer can compete with sandy bridge.

[Chrono Detector]

I'm one of the users who uses two LAN ports and I share my internet connection with multiple computers, yes I could just buy another network card but I prefer the convenience of having an extra LAN port, so freaking stupid that Gigabyte had to remove the extra one.

[duron]

will those that have dual LAN ports be in parallel or is it one is in the other out?

[AKM]

Man i hope bulldozer can compete with sandy bridge.

One thing's for sure, they will be more competitive now than in their Phenom II vs Nehalem days, though I doubt they'll be up to par.

[SubZero.it]

Really nice..but actually it's missing uefi

Not so long ago nvidia was producing its own chipsets for AMD, so they didnt want to AMD to have this functionality.Now the game changed.
Besides SLI always WORKED on amd chipsets, you just needed to use an easy driver hack.

Eew, using a PC as a router? How 1996.

Nice, yeah I never knew because I never dabble in the AMD bin.

Good looking board, hope AMD raise their game and really take the fight to Intel, makes for better products at better prices, pretty sure that's what anyone here would want to see

2 lan port is good for teamming, one gigabit per sec is 125MB/s two, is near 250MB/s ...

So when you have a SSD you can have a better dowload/upload, in local ethernet.

Whats that port next to the SATA ports?

[Origin_Unknown]

sata power directly from the board is my guess

[AMDnord]

its for GPUs.
they just replaced molex with sata cable for this.

[eXa]

More juice to the GPUs? I guess thats handy when using several graphics cards.

more than two.




i think :p

[schlafmuetze]

time to completly rebuild my tj, gotta jump on that board for sure, sataconnector instead of molex is TEH look
