R.O.G Crosshair is the latest ASUS creation. It's a whole new series of motherboards directly intended for gamers and overclockers. ASUS will launch this motherboard the upcoming days and NordicHardware has some nice photos to show. Here is a short summarize of the board's features.
Light system tweaking - LCD Poster
ASUS has introduced a small LCD panel that is placed on the back on the motherboard's i I/O panel. With this LCD you will be able to see directly what phase of the boot process the system is currently in, which of course makes it very easy to search for errors if there are any. A big step forward compared to the small sign LEDs used today with many motherboards.
Performance and Stability - 8 stage EL Cap-less Power Design
To optimize the motherboard's performance and stability ASUS has gone over its power designs. This has resulted in that it has exchanged the cylindric capcitors and replaced them with polymer aluminum electrolyte capacitors; small chips. Through a 8 stage design you will get a both reliable and stable voltage supply for the processor.
Work in the dark- EL I/O
G.O.R Crosshair has a truly unique I/O panel, except from the LCD it has integrated lighting around the various connections so that you will be able to connect units also when working in the dark. Also the motherboard has well placed diodes to simplify the installation of new connectors.
Clear Sound - SupremeFX and Array Mic
ASUS has also gone with a high quality sound circuit placed on an external sound card where we notice 8 channel sound and 24bit/192KHz. Array Mic is a microphone specially developed for online games where small disturbing noises and artefacts will be filtered out.
ASUS R.O.G Crosshair also comes with Futuremark's 3DMark06 Advanced Edition so that you can tune your system to perfection.
Specifications:
- AMD Socket AM2
- NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP
- Dual channel DDR2 800/667/533
- 2 x PCIe x16, sports NVIDIA SLI at full x16 + x16 bandwidth
- 8 x SATA 3.0 Gb/p with two external connectors / 1 x Ultra DMA
- Dual Gigabit LAN
- SupremeFX sound card with ADI 1988b High-Definition Audio with 8 channel surround sound.
ASUS R.O.G series board is expected to appear on the market sometime in July/August at about $330.

, in my dreams ASUS has changed the chipset so it can support both, need to see some reviews
...Nice board though...really nice and packed with features. But one thing is that I would never go to the back I/O shield and look at the LED there...
