great, more copper.

Woundering what rip-off price they'll ask for this.

Triple sli pah.
Fix normall sli first ( make it work in more games and worthwhile).

A pointless motherboard and chipset.

A pointless motherboard and chipset.

That is probably the best description of it I have seen imo.

Shame loads of people are going to pay to upgrade from their 680i's for it.

naughty naughty...this board shouldnt be public knowledge for another few days

looks like my X38 asus P5E, accept with extra pci express slot, but yeah still agree they need to get crossfire/sli technology up and running and running well as well, to me there still pointless technologies that aint really taken off and its still cheaper/better to wait 6-8 months later for a next gen card thats better performance.

Would rather have the striker formula II tbh, at least it isn't infested with fake copper and tubes like asus' other high end boards though.

Like most of the boards with huge heatpipe configurations, it's not copper. It's copper coloured aluminium. Bit of a rip off really.

Amazing, it doesn't support quad 45nm. That's exactly what you'd want in a top end board that'll no doubt cost an arm and a leg... Totally worth it for the triple SLI support... *cough*

Will this board be as flaky/picky as the other 680 boards?

I'm guessing it will be as it's a bridge + 680i, seems the only way to get sli on a chipset that actually works is to either go skulltrail or hope someone makes an x3/48 board with a bridge chip.
