ASUS ROG Maximus II Formula, Intel's P45 chipset




SOURCE: hardspell.com

As expected of a highend motherboard like this, ASUS has set the bar very high to create an even better board than the prior one. The board features a 16-phase power connection for the processor, three for the Northbridge, and two for the DDR2 memory. According to ASUS this ensures a very reliable solution that allows excellent performance under all circumstances.

This board looks AMAZING. the voltage regulation seems a bit overkill though

Interesting what they have done with the Sata, looks like they have gone with 6 provided by ICH9R and the other two by the JMicron. Like they do on the DFI board.

Not when you are running memory at DDR2-1333 with a Q9770.

Holy crap!

Maybe a bit too much bling on the Mosfets, but I like it! I want one!

From the infos I've read so far, P45 chipset mobo may be the last generation to support LGA775 socket.

X58 will be out by the end of this year following by the debut of P45 chipset this summer and X58 will have a completely new tech including socket 1366 to be the first to support Nehalem CPU.
