Note that the HS on the X38 is the same size as the 975X but uses a screw type retention mechanism. The bolts are in the same place the wire loops were. Also notice that the X38 has an IHS.

I watched your posts alot in XBX and XBX2 threads, so I'm eagerly awaiting your thoughts on this board. GL.

Leak testing...
Had to rig a mount for my MCW30 chipset block but I used spare Swiftech parts so I guess it's OK.
If you're thinking about upgrading from an XBX2, don't throw away the extension cable you made for the BIOS jumper. It will find a new home with this board.
Also, I think I'll do a wiki over Thanksgiving so that more people will contribute and things will be less likely to get out of date.

Oh yeah, this board looks like it uses the same aSC7621 sensor chip as the XBX2 so I'm hoping Everest, Speedfan and the others will work.

Got a custom (thicker) backing plate for that GTX? If so, soo sexy... 1 other observation, the DIMM slot closest to the PCIx16 seems real close like my P5WDG2-Pro. I had real interference issues with the GTS320MB video and switching ram out...
Last edited by ElEctric_EyE; 11-19-2007 at 08:03 PM. Reason: custom
CPU: Lapped L727A861 Q6600 3.61GHz (450x8) (1.275VID) @ 1.700V BIOS. WC w/Apogee GTX + Cu top + custom backing plate
GPU: EVGA 8800GT. WC w/MCW60 + RAMsinks
MB: ASUS Maximus Formula: Rampage Formula BIOS 0402. NB @1.61V BIOS. WC w/MCW30. FSBtV=1.38V BIOS. CPUPLLV=1.82V BIOS
RAM: Corsair Dominator PC2 8500 4x1GB 1066@1081. 2.14V BIOS
Swiftech is shipping the GTXs with backplates so it's nice and snug with little stress on the MB. The copper top for the GTX is actually an add-on. Stock one is anodized aluminum.
The DIMM retainers are close, but I just tried and was able to get the stick out and back in again without much fuss.
30 minutes to go on the leak test...

After a bit can you load this up with 4 gig of RAM and report impact on dual core max fsb? Also, can you run a few prime95 sessions with the higher fsb to see what's actually stable as opposed to just benchable?

Stupid Corsair. I've always had great luck with OCZ but this time I went with Corsair. When I opened the package, one of the heat spreaders just fell out with one of the chips stuck to it. So I've got some OCZ on the way and in the mean time, I'm operating with only 1 stick.
