I hope the government have added some kind of gas into a sealed mobo bag, sterilises anyone daft enough to buy £462 mobo with basically the same functionality as many £150-200 mobo's, but has a killer nic and a £5 creative chip on board.

Nice boards, but the price :eek:

Does this include a technician to install and overclock for you as well :p

As rare as this is...



...agreed 100%.

Also, the magazine shaped heatsinks? Just how tacky can you get? These don't appear to offer much in the way of extra features over a £150-200 motherboard...

If they had all USB3 ports and all SATA 6 ports, then sure, but it's just the same old setup as we're used to seeing with X58, but with extra tacky-ness...

I agree, it's daylight robbery.
 
Full EMU20k2 X-Fi chips on them too not the usual creative onboard muck. Impressive but that's silly money.
 
I like the design but seriously, which mug is gonna spend that kind of money on an almost EOL chipset, soon to be replaced? Half the price would be a more reasonable pricepoint.

Of cause there is.

It is still Intels flagship Chipset, whilst P67 might make more sense for the more mainstream/gamer user, X58 is still the performance king.

Put this into perspective. A sandybridge set up would have to run 4GB of RAM at 2133MHz with c7 timings to equal the bandwidth of a average X58 setup using 6Gb 1600MHz with c8 timings. Tah is with both systems at default clock speeds.

So an X58 rig with an OC'ed 6 core, 6GB RAM running at 2000MHz or higher really is still untouchable, unless of course you are going to start tlaking about dual socket boards but thats a whole different ball game.
 
I'm dissapointed at the pricing of these. I was looking forward to getting myself one of these but unfortunatley I cant justify the cost. If you wanna be different, your gonna have to pay for it seems. With the REIII on offer at the moment I may have to get one of those.
