Asrock Z68 Extreme 7

yeah can't wait i got 3 6950's on the 1st release of the extreme 4 but then realised you can't use triple cards also the extreme 7 looks to be the only board you can have 3 gpu's and a large pcie sound card as the other boards ie gigabyte ud7 and asus that have the nf200 don't have the best layout you can only fit a short sound card on the top pcie slot on the gigabyte and none on the asus. :-)

Well i would just get the extreme4 g3, i have the Extreme4 ref model at min and i cant fault it but not able to use 3 gpu's so getting the extreme7 on that point only! so if your only getting 1 or 2 cards get the extreme 4... I also have the Asus board but dont like it, had lots of little stupid bugs with it that the Asrock didnt give me.. :)

I've had:

P5B-Dlx still going strong after 5yrs in a pc downstairs that my 4yr old niece uses;

Maximus Formula S.E which died due to a watercooling leak within a few months, got full refund as the seller didn't have anymore due to asus stopped making them and no other x38 mb I was interested in.

P5Q Dlx still going strong after 3yrs

so not had any problems with asus myself :)

crezzlin if I was to get a 3rd 6950 in the future would the extreme 7 allow me to use it in trifire(or is it xfireX 3/4 cards together)?

Yes you will be able to use 3 single cards with the extreme 7..
Also another point with this board is if you had 3 large cards i.e. 6950's you can still fit large/ full size sound card under the 1st GPU unlike any other board that support 3 GPU’S Asus/Gigabyte :) That’s why I’m waiting for the Asrock so I can use all 3 cards with my sound card :)

Yeah only because when i 1st got my setup with the Extreme 4 board i didnt realise it will not support 3 single cards unless they are 5850's as the PLX chip it has to use all PCIE lanes at 8x8x4x just cant keep up with the 3rd card, it will run 3 cards but will give massive lag in most games and even more when i use eyefinity.. Will sell my board to fund it lol im not Rich ha
 
Hey, yeah it was a bummer they didn't keep the price down for a little longer but never mind, Can't wait to see what the board is like in person, don't think i will get time to setup until Sunday night.

What CPU and GPU are you going to use

Tell about it.

I bought the extreme 7 and a i5 2600k from somewhere else worked out a lot cheaper. Wouldve liked to have got it from here.

GPU isn't anything fancy I got a MSI 460Ti 1GB OC Hawk twin Frozr from here when it was on special a few weeks back.

Yeah I should have looked around for a better price really, but if I ask for Royal mail delivery I always get it with OcUK. Most other company’s just go for the cheapest delivery option and don’t give you a choice of service provider.
