I wonder what CPU is used?

erocker · May 26, 2007

"two 8x?? PCI express lanes? That sucks, interesting layout.

malware · May 26, 2007

I believe the CPU is E6300 (from the first source link), and look at the last option "Crazy" what is it supposed to mean?! Sorry, but its written in Korean...I can only guess what they're talking about.

JUDAS3 · May 26, 2007

i think it oc's your cpu to the next model up - setting wise.

tkpenalty · May 26, 2007

Oof I Would Love This Mobo

technicks · May 27, 2007

Nice option to put a button on the back to clear the cmos. :toast:

"crazy"

lol!

Its English to me

. These are some very awesome motherboards. More and More it makes me want to go to the darkside everyday. I cant wait to see some benches on these and I like the heatpipe with watercooling on it. All copper too. Extremely nice.

Conti027 · May 27, 2007

Yeah and also you can transform ur E6300 to a E6700 :wtf:

DrunkenMafia · May 27, 2007

love the post lcd, love the copper piping and love the "crazy" option in bios, but why only 8x lanes for the gfx???

I bet this is going to be one of those $600 motherboards

Wile E · May 27, 2007

What size barbs are on that block? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Judas · May 27, 2007

Now this one is not so good ,well my opinion anways. Why is the CLR CMOS switch put on the rearside ? :confused:

Squeezing around two GFX cards and your SATA connectors to get to a jumper to clear the CMOS is usually a lot of hard work

tkpenalty · May 27, 2007

Also another problem, what if u are trying to blindly plug in ur usb key and u press that button by accident when ur PC is on?

eh, 2x 8x pciE, why the hell not 16x?

malware · May 27, 2007

Because the Intel P35 chipset is not capable of providing 2x PCIe 16x.

fair do's

lemonadesoda · May 27, 2007

-->>> Intel therefore believes that PCIe 16x is unnecessary bandwidth. I can understand it if the PCIe is v2.0, but if v1.0, then basically, Intel is going back to AGP8x speeds. LOL. Full circle.

All complaints aside about the PCI-e lanes, I like it ALOT, and I am not one to look for the most high end stuff. May have to save my money up and get one.
