Maybe naith or rj could help me on this. If sandybridge oc fsb/blck is a NONO what point of these extreme mobos? Assuming you just oc with the multi and voltage as long as the mobo has good voltage regulaters?

Better voltage control. Better build quality, more features e.g. more SATA, USB ports, dual gigabit lan, extra headers, more power phases, extra PCI slot, crossfire/SLI support, intergrated X-FI audio etc.

The list goes on!

Price seems very high for what it is...

Says the guy with the Rampage II Extreme

Just kiddin'

 

[NathWraith]

you guys gonna push this into the overclocked bundles?

Sure will, once stock is more available we will have it listed.

However we can specify a custom OC bundle with this board if required.

Just email me if you want an custom spec OC bundle

Brilliant slot spacing for 4-way SLI/Crossfire there...

Surely they could have made it with 7 lanes (like most of the SB boards) and done this:

GPU1
PCI/PCI-e x1
GPU3
PCI-e x4
GPU2
PCI/PCI-e x1
GPU4

Since any case that is going to be bought with 4-way SLI/Crossfire in mind will have 8 slots...

Oh, and why, if Asus make the frankly superior Xonar sound cards, do they use X-Fi on their motherboards?

X-Fi is better than stock realtek or Intel audio. It is a nice addition I certainly noticed the difference going from a RE2 to a UD9 before I bought my soundcard. (which is a Xense )

My perfect layout in the Maximus would be:

-1: GTX 580 (watercooled)
-2: 240GB revodrive
-3: GTX 580 (watercooled)
-4: 240GB revodrive
-5: GTX 580 (watercooled)
-6: Xense sound card

Excessive but would be pure win

Should be more like £218 so maybe £239.99 with a bit of rounding up and adding on for rip off britain

We can all keep dreaming eh?

Maybe in a few years

At the moment these are rare as rocking horse poo. Luckily for us, I snaffled a rather large amount of "poo".

Sounds kinda weird putting it like that LOL
