DFI JR P45 T2RS or wait for the Asus maximus Gene to come out.

Sayso · 6 Apr 2009 at 16:00

Surely the ASUS board will be insanely expensive...?

Sayso · 6 Apr 2009 at 19:29

still cheaper than buying a 920 and RAM aswell though (have been looking today)

Wouldnt be as expensive as the i7 version which is ~£210 depending on where you shop. It's always going to be priced with other boards in mind, so I'd expect ~£150. If you look at the board in the screen shot, it doesnt look very done (especially by the memory slots) which is why, even though I am after a mATX and really like this board, I will still go with the DFI.

I will still go with the DFI.

From what i have read and seen the DFI is the best (in my eyes)

I was considering MATX a while back, and that was the board I was gonna get. No questions asked.

So yes i agree with the above.

d you know what water block would fit the NB?

aries2580 · 6 Apr 2009 at 20:13

Is there not like a DFI watercooling set?

For the Asus? If so... it's not even out yet?!

when i checked this board wasn't down as compatible??

Tute · 6 Apr 2009 at 23:14

I'd take the DFI P45 board, the Asus one is just too late tbh.

Damn... Build your own!

*just kidding*

THE EK NB-Smax block fits the Nbridge.

the stock heatsink comes off and the waterblock can jsut go ontop so you dont need to replace the heatpipe and mosfet block.
