1 x 1394 <-- can connect to the bracket bundled
2 x usb <-- can connect to the bracket bundled
1 x usb <-- can connect to your chassis's front panel

so you can actually fully utilize them with the bracket bundled.

This is looking awesome.

I wonder how the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme will fit?

I have a seen a picture with a Thermalright HR-01 fitted, and that just touched the N/B heatsink.

Inno3D stealing your motherboards.

That's why they've not arrived then - they fell off the back of the container vessel

I don’t care which brand it is as long as it’s cheap and works well. Must admit Im liking the look of the new p45 boards with the newer ICH10R south bridge.

Yes, but INNO3D are sold by lots of retailers in the UK, so if it is the same board (and it looks VERY similar) then OcUK will have to compete on price, which will be a good thing.

Well if we take what Ken has said there is no reason why these arn't for sale so maybe someone from OcUK can comment on that and give an idea when they will be for sale.

 

[WJA96]

Send the shop a webnote - they'll either tell you or not. If they don't tell you, then we're no further forward, but if they do tell you then you can tell us!

Basically, if you need a board now, then you can't buy a J&W from OcUK.

Did Abit ever launch their IX48-MAX board?

iirc Nathan said that it was due to ship this week - not sure if that is from abit NL or abit Taiwan though which would obviously affect arrival time in shops.
It's on show at Computex (along with the IX58-MAX for Nehalem).

should i look for another board instead of waiting for this one, it all looked so promising a few weeks ago.

Maybe the ship carrying the motherboards sank...?

 

[RizlaKing]

If i understand what Ken says the problem is with OcUK so i would get another board if i were you and stop waiting.

 

[bowza]

should i stick with the plan of an X48 and get a dfi , or will a crossfire P45 do just as well?

thanks

Bowza

 

[RizlaKing]

I am getting a P45 but xfire is not something i am bothered about so i would go for the X48 as that has xfire 16 on both slots.

Of course I've got one!

 

[BUFF]

ah but did you buy it?
wasn't kenofstephen sending you 1?

anyway, what's it like so far?

I'd have no cred if I didn't buy my own now would I? The fact that I already know all the right settings to use straight from the box is possibly an unfair advantage though

anyway, what's it like so far?

I honestly can't say as I don't have a proper UK retail board at the moment (08:13am).

£164.49? Anyone remember the thread saying "x38 for possibly under £100" Glad I didn't wait
