ASUS ROG Crosshair IV Formula and Extreme Motherboards Pictured

WarEagleAU · Mar 3, 2010

Hello my new board too, now which one to get. I like the formula's angle heat pipe/spreader deal, but that Extreme is just calling my name. I did notice that they have the dim slots with the far ends having the low profile locks, making it not interfere with long graphics cards.

That is Black PCB but the stacker cooler is copper so it bleeds through the boards when using the flash.I see it on my M3A79 a lot when i use my camera.

yeah i figured it was the flash (which i stated before) too i have a crosshair 3 (color is color) it wasnt a question of coper vs pcb, but weather it "looked" and he answered his own question. so im left confused. anyways i want the formula of the 2 has to be now because my fortress II case says ATX and below

but i didnt need to quad fire anyway

yeah i dont like the middle part of the extreme looks like "patchwork" plus i duno i wish it was ATX but u know its gonna be 300 and the others gonna be 249 im sure. Here are some picks with the lights on too so u can see it and the Audio in the board

I was referring to this comment
One grudge I have is that many of ASUS's high end boards have brown PCBs...
I see a lot of since ASUS went the 3-4 layer copper STACKER COOLER route.
Most of the guys buying the boards don`t realize it is the STACKER COOLER(ALL That Copper) that shows the PCB as dark Brown. Is what I was saying .

oh i see yeah some of there boards look chocolate with no flash but the ROGs are jet black to the naked eye in a well lit place, my III is jet black. and most of the other picks not theese press ones ive seen it looked the same way at press time but other CBIT photos show it as black (interesting note too they pulled the maxius from the floor recently???? i read that someplace yesterday trying to find the article i hope it still coming out i cant get the extreme lol (dont need case wont fit dont need... dont need 50 usd more im sure.)
