I'm creating this thread as this board should be out in January, its much better having a single thread.

The major highlights are the 650i only supports dual x8 SLI operation, single Gigabit Ethernet, four SATA 3Gb/s ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports instead of the dual x16 SLI, physics card slot, dual Gigabit Ethernet with teaming, six SATA 3Gb/s ports, and ten USB 2.0 ports on the 680i. Although NVIDIA has not stated specific support for the upcoming 1333FSB processors in the 650i, ASUS is saying the board will be capable of supporting them with an updated BIOS release. We also noticed that ASUS included EPP memory capability along with LinkBoost technology, both items are not officially supported by NVIDIA in their product documentation although each feature did work as advertised.

board is a bit expensive, over £10 more than on competitors. i wanna find out what the max fsb people can get with these, my team ram will overclock bloody loads, my cpu will do 3.7ghz on air and hopefully 3.8 on water.

hope some new bios' are out soon and people get 510+ fsb on these.
