sweeet nelly, lets see some results if you have one. Like others the 5 phase digital pwm is a worry, but it may all be gravy so ya results!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant find one here in the states, ive looked at all the online places. I think ill check Frys tommrow on the way over to my dads.
one thing about the BIOS date, i think it should be changed, to 11/2/07 as not to confuse newcomers. And the link to the compatible rams just throws you too the abit global index page.

How much droop has it with a Quadcore?
And does the Vcore goes down in idle with EIST and OC(manual VCore Setting).

Looks nice indeed... just thinking about getting one myself.
If only Intel wouldn't have boasted about the x48 hitting the market so soon :/

There was meant to be a GP-03 (originally to be bundled with the IX38-MAX)but that was cancelled at a late stage but it was maybe just a redesign as I've heard a rumour that another is on the way again.

I've had a few bevvies, so may well be misreading your posts and regret this post later, but I'm a bit surprised by your results.
This was mine with a GTX and P5K deluxe.
Your cpu looks better clock for clock than mine. Am I reading that right though an Ultra 750/1881/1050. What drivers?

From Aw9D-Max to IX38 QuadGT
Friday i picked up my IX38. I was an Aw9D-Max user.
My first findings are positive.
I'm running:
E6600 @ 3.6 ghz @ 9*400 @ 1.4v with a Tuniq Tower
OCZ Titanium Alpha VX @ DDR1000 @ 5-4-4-16 @ 2.3v
Everest read 8970 mb/s
Everest write 7320 mb/s
Everest copy 8307 mb/s
Everest latency 54.2 ns
3Dmark6 13153 with a eVGA 8800 GTX @ 625/1512/1000
On the max i couldnt do DDR1000. I tried 8*450 @ 1.4v and that also works.
6*500 doesnt work very good. I have to put to much volt on the mobo and cpu so i think my E6600 is the problem.
First impressions:
Needs lower vCore to reach the same level as the AW9D_max, Great layout, build quality, overclocking works with C1E and Eist ON, @ 1.4v on the core the PWM'S are around 60 degrees celcius, super stable, uGuru is awesome again, Cmos button on the i/o panel, start and reset button's on the mobo.
Now on to the penryn !
