Final update: JW-X48D2 EXTREME

[ScottiB]

GA-X48-DQ6 spec for DS5 price? i'd call that good value

 

[Azza]

Whats warranty going to be ScottiB?

 

[ScottiB]

one year return to base (i.e. us)

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

can i control the rpm's of the system fans with this motherboard



Its also time for ocuk to tell us when the will be available to buy, ' it's good to support the little guy '

 

[ken1307]

These should be on their way soon but no pricing has been confirmed yet. I'd expect it to be around £140 +VAT

thats like 175 quid after postage, are you sure its the best OcUK can do?

p/s: with that price its name deffo needs to be changed to "OcUK Deluxe" there is nothing "value" about £160+ motherboard

 

[kenofstephen]

I think it should to be honest.

1394+USB bracket = 2 x USB and 1 x 1394?

yes, on the same bracket.

Agreed, I thought the idea was to take on the established players, match specs and beat on price?

OCuk Premium, OCuk Platinum, etc...

At £140+VAT+delivery you're pricing it head-to-head with the DFI LT board, which is a tough competitor given that it comes from the enthusiast motherboard manufacturer, and it's got the Thermalright NB cooler and the Berstein audio module, plus it comes with a full compliment of good quality SATA cables and a spangly box. And that's before you factor in that it's mentally fast and a superb overclocker.

 

[.:MBK:.]

if it is £140 before vat etc, which i have my doubts, then its still cheaper than the DFI, however, not by much and the DFI certainly has more goodies thrown in. at £10 more, assuming price stability, the DFI will likely attract the greater volume of undecided customers

The DFI is widely available at £165 with free delivery (that's what I paid for mine) and £140+VAT is £164.50+delivery and that makes it a harder sell than it has to be.

 

[Skyboat]

Longer warranty too I bet on the DFI.

 

[psychas]

why did u get only 23 k on 3dmark06 with two 3870x2? were they overcloked that bit low

 

[V|per]

Because it was only 1 card...

 

[psychas]

OH soz thought i seen somewhere in pictures it was to pardon me

 

[tutu]

The reason this sparked interest originally was for the title "A X38 board for possibly less than £100"

 

[marscay]

at that price the punters will buy DFI all day long and why not, u know what you're getting with DFI.

 

[Banny]

So these boards will be capable of 500 FSB with the news quads then, I have P5E now and it wont go much over 460.
Would be into buying something that will do the 500FSB. even if it is £160

would be temped in a Q9450 over my Q9300 then as it might do a nice 4gig, now that would be nice.

 

[RizlaKing]

£140 + VAT and delivery no thanks and yes i also thought the point was to outdo the big boys not prove you can match them in price but there you go.

Good point.
I agree it's too expensive, to be competitive it needs to cost less than all the other x48 motherboards.
