Looks good
Hopefully this board will preform close to, if not better than the rest.

Looks like a good board.
It's about time they put some decent cooling on the pwm's. The p35 pro with a q6600 is terrible.

From working with both the Abit and Gigabyte P35 series, I definitely prefer Abit. And the ASUS boards I've tried really weren't all they were cracked up to be.

A wolf in wolves clothing.
DFI DK series isn't available here in Aus, so best bang for buck is the IP PRO.... and the 45 looks impressive Mr.Nathan
ps. can it update bios safely thru windows yet

what happened to IP45 Max ?
+1. Only complaint about my IP35 Pro.Originally Posted by fluke420

Yes this board looks good. Tell me about the power circutry for the CPU is that an 8 phase PWM circuts?
Any idea of the price point?
Drive it like you stole it
Yes mate it is eight phase

Seems good but the chipset cooler is a bit too bulky for my tastes.What do you think?
It should be available by the 1st week of July.

The thing I most dislike about heatsinks these days--they all have a "top" cover. I think it looks stupid and it interferes with airflow directly on the board. I have a heatsink tower, meaning that on my IP35-E, the northbridge has less airflow. I have a 36cm side fan on my case--meaning that all air flows directly down to the board. I would personally prefer if those "top covers" were removable, since not many enthusiasts seem to be using after-market heatsinks that have air flowing down.

Not 100% on price point yet, so would rather not say, I am sure it will be online by the end of the month.
Yeah, one of the reasons I bought the rampage.

is there any chance of abit going digital pwm and multi phase ram (i cant load the top image all the way so i cant tell on the ram)

wheres the cmos reset switch? I like it, if I had money to throw around or needed one I'd pick it up. But why are the heat sinks covered with logo things? Can you pop them off easy I rather have some airflow hot them

I thought this board was digital PWM, just like the IP35 series.
What is the difference between digital PWM and non digital PWM?
Drive it like you stole it
+1 again
can this board concurrently run a vga card at x16 and a RAID controller at x8?

pci-expres 1x has a terrible layout.

Agreed, why can't companies stop looking at pretty and start looking at function. Use an old fashioned cooler that we can screw a fan into or God forbid, have the company do it that way and not a wimpy fan but something of substance.
All my boards have fans on both NB and SB and no heat issues.
If you want tgo have that plate for the masses that use the board stock then fine but attach it in a way where it can be removed.
Maybe some nylon hold downs that can be cut and tossed..
Other than that nice looking board..
