I noticed that too but I have already demonstrated my massive knowledge fail of Intel products. :laugh:

Same here... E760 kicking well, must say its a good looking board, three things to consider: Asus lame support, x68 less than a year away, and price tag might be as outrageous as the G1 Killer.

That 580 render is just gross.

I'm not sure what the gold plugs are for but, the other is a molex plug for extra fans and things.. I've seen this on a few motherboards..

nINJAkECIL · Mar 3, 2011

maybe those 2 pins meant to be connected to external devices like OC Gear or something.
And I believe the molex header is for auxiliary PCI-E power connector to supply additional juice for VGA.

Why do you need that, since the video card already have extra plugs??

DanishDevil · Mar 3, 2011

Molex is for extra power for the motherboard to give the GPUs power. GPUs first pull power from the PCI-E slots, then from the PEG 6/8-pin connectors. If you run 4 high powered GPUs in that board with all the PEG cables plugged in, the board would not be able to supply enough power to the GPUs through the PCI-E slots, therefore, an additional molex connector is necessary.

The two gold plated connectors on the I/O shield look like antennae screw-ons for included WiFi.

Now thats some useful info. Thank you.

Looks good, but I gotta say that there have been a few 27" 120hz monitors announced, but none launched so far.
We need them to come out so they can get cheaper quicker for the FPS games.

Edit: Forgot to mention that bruins is back

The golden connectors seems to be for wifi antennas. It must be an integrated wifi card.

I know what I miss on that mobo: 1PCI port. 1 would have been enough. 1 not 2. One... :eek:

DanishDevil · Mar 5, 2011

If you're going to be buying that board, I don't think you're going to be carrying over a legacy PCI card.

Cold Storm · Mar 5, 2011

The link that will tell you all!

Official ROG forum post

few differences, R3E was the first gen of the 3 series product launch. this is a refresh with the latest features of aisuite 2 support, even better and easier oc support, bluetooth 3.0 and wifi built in, and comes with xonar audio and a killer nic add on card along with on board lcd poster, front usb 3.0 header support,

The bolded words say it all.

:pimp:

What if I have an expensive digital tv tuner? What do I do then?

About time we get a 3D LED monitor, what I really want is an IPS 120Hz monitor with a 5ms or less respond rate, that would be the ultimate gaming monitor not these TN monitors.

Another point, do you think that there is any real advantage in using these "gaming routers" ?

Personally, I saw many people reporting no difference when they used these kind of routers, hopefully this one is different.

1500$ monitor
