1st 780G mini-itx motherboard launching next week

[kenofstephen]

here comes a quick shot:

[MrMojoZ]

Looks nice. Specs and $$?

[KoHaN69]

this would make the bestestesest carpc everz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111

Here you go (but no price) - http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?419#_spec

[AzraelDarkangel]

I read that overseas it's currently selling for the equivalent of $170. So I would expect ~ $200.

[wa2000]

This board is selling for HK$1199. ~=US$154. So I guess the selling price in US will be ~ $175-$180.

[Pillo-kun]

is it any good? i mean can it oc to?

[MrMojoZ]

I'd consider an itx board "good" if it underclocked well, the power needed for overclocking would defeat the purpose.

If it can OC, i see that as PERFECT for lan parties. A good phenom + 4850 = epic set up.

Shame it didn't incorporate full PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot.... the PCIe slot is a x4 linkwidth only.... 4850 would be choked on that IMO...

Still very nice.... I'd love to have one of these mobos, and a X4 9750 and a compact WC setup, for a compact and portable HTPC...

I feel a new build coming on...

[Rammsteiner]

Ugh, WTF. It's a mini-ITX board guys. Dont expect anything ground breaking for that except very low power purposes.

Although it looks damn nice, it will only be any good for the same reason as any other mini-ITX; SFF/HTPC. If you need to OC with a small PC for Lanparty's, get DFI's JR 790GX-M2RS instead

And thinking about it , you will probabli need a good(big and large) PSU it you want to put a phenom and 4850 (ie) in this board , and that defeats the purpuse.

Going to a lan with a ring that as a PSU bigger than the Mobo

My 780g is micro and has 16x pcie

If you go with a 65W phenom and a 4850 you could get by on a 200W power supply, like the PW-200 series I'm using now.

[Karolis]

A low wattage Athlon X2 + Radeon 4670/4650 would be a pretty good portable-mini-itx-gaming-system-cube. For anything more powerful I'd say MicroATX FTW!

Another one, although it looks exactly the same, just a different name

http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/Alba...oard/6082.html

might be getting 1 or 6 of these. Or not, as I am more interested in the IGP then the PCIe x16 slot. The whole point of me going ITX is the lower power consumption and the IGP being powerful enough paired with a 35w or 45w cpu along with 2gb maybe even 4gb of ram to do what I need. I mean, if you get a vid card that is worth getting over the onboard IGP, then that card is about the size of the mobo and probably eats up 5 times the power or more then the cpu. Might as well just get a M-ATX. But no doubt other people have different uses and want different things from it.

Anyway, anyone know of a 780G ITX board with just PCI or PCIe x1? At least with that I am not limited to only using a vid card in the slot, because either the IGP fullfills the performance I need or I get an M-ATX. And I already know an M-ATX with nvidea 6100 and even Intel extreme 2 IGP performs just about well enough for my needs here, so hopefully the 780G, intel G45 or Nvidea 8200 outperforms a 6100/intel extreme.
Speaking of which, anyone know how the G45 and 8200 compares to the 780G? And if I can use a pico-PSU to power these?

You do realize that you can use a x1 card in a x16 slot, right?

[Herc130]

No, I did not.

Guess this would be the itx board to get then Now if it was under $100 and used desktop ram, that would be great.

[nullface]

This, a 9150e and a 5400RPM drive would make a nice server that wouldent take away any space.

[BertM]

it doesnt have a parallel port

[nullface]

What do you need a paralel port for?

[nullface]

No, I did not.

Have you seen SODIMM prices? at least in denmark SODIMMS are allmost for free. 2x2GB HyperX at $100.

My old X2 3600+ is just waitning for this

[BertM]

What do you need a paralel port for?

my cnc milling machine requires a computer with parallel port.
the current desktop case i have with amd 3800+ is a bit big for that.

Oh i see

[The Coolest]

SODIMM ram is pretty cheap now, so I don't think that should be factor in buying decision.
