Any idea when ocuk will have asus 680 chip set boards

AWBbox · 16 Nov 2006 at 07:44

no eta as of yet. Other sites arn't saying either. I've sent a webnote to OCuk about this, i'll post what they say when they reply

The more expensive striker extreme is showing up at a competitor to for pre order, the price is expensive though. I have one preordered, just for phase cooling really, until the dfi offerings land that is...

Another competitor has the p5n32-e listed at a good price too..

Not asking where you saw it, but just as a guide what was the price?

raja · 16 Nov 2006 at 12:56

it was up in the £150's

strange thing is I can't find it now...

still the extreme is still up...

just be sure to search as you will get inflated prices otherwise..

I do hope that will be the case - much more reasonable than the Striker Extreme.

Ok, they said

Thank you for your webnote.

there is such a board. At present we have no plans to stock this item but we may
in the future.

If and when we do it will appear on our website.

Regards

pretty generic i guess, still no closer to an ETA

whenRD600? · 16 Nov 2006 at 20:27

I am wanting this board or the rd600, whatever one comes out first, anyhow just to keep you up to date with what I have found, this striker extreme board is on pre order with a competitor site for £232.65 but again it does not say when it will be available

Jay_t · 22 Nov 2006 at 14:18

Its now on the website at £264.34 :eek:

Presumably the chipsets are speedbinned as I wouldn't want to buy one of these and find I had a duff clocker.

IT Troll · 24 Nov 2006 at 19:08

Seeing as OcUK "have no plans to stock this item" hopefully it is OK for me to say I have just pre-ordered the P5N32-E elsewhere. Comes in at ~£13 more than the ABIT IN9 32X-MAX but a whopping £80 cheaper than the Striker Extreme! :eek:

Hi , so what other than very nice gadgets does the striker have to offer over the P5N32-E as it is lots cheaper

IT Troll · 24 Nov 2006 at 20:35

An extra heat pipe, the POST LCD, the on-board switches, LEDs, and capless power.

andyr · 24 Nov 2006 at 20:40

Thanks for that ,its getting my interest going on this cheaper version as the rd600 seems still a little way off yet and i bet when it does turn up it will have a big price tag similar to the striker

P5N32-E

A new BIOS and the manual for the P5N32-E has just appeared on the ASUS site. Hopefully this means this board is finally on the way...

So is the RD600! (should be with us within the next 4 weeks)

I don't suppose anyone knows if the Zalman flower style coolers will fit around those heatpipes on the asus board?

Was looking at something like

One of the Guys in the other Asus Striker thread is using a zalman 9700 cps cooler , sounds the same as the one you mention
