Think I'll wait and see how the reviews come out, pretty dear for an AMD board so they'd better be good!

does look very tasty though.

Mate, remove that picture.
I've got the same, and an Asus affiliate for Hardware spot told me to remove it.

Me neither...
Asus are still requesting they're removed.
I'd rather do a good one with some of the higher companies

?

Will they be producing a board using this chipset that supports ddr2 or will it purely be ddr3?

Finally got approved on here

I ordered mine on Sunday, signed up here last night cus I wanted to see how people were going with their orders.

Mines arrived, just backing up some stuff before swapping it for my current rig. I've also started posting pics at my site, surely Asus cant request you take them down?

None of us who have BOUGHT it have signed an NDA.

They can request, doesn't mean you have to.

Good point. lol

I only have a sempron to test it with atm anyway, altho i can see if the board will unlock it to an Athlon X2.

Waiting for the Phenom II X6s are released, its just I saw this in stock over weekend and couldnt resist

Martini1991 · 20 Apr 2010 at 17:20

I can't use mine as I have a WC loop, and can't remove my loop till I get a decent cooler, I have a V10 coming.

that should be an ... interesting combination lol.

maybe the board will take offense and refuse to boot up until you put something more powerful in lol.

I know, but atm I have an Intel rig, it was either a £25 sempron, or sit and do nothing with it till I get a phenom X6.

I think I might go for an AMD build for the first time ever this time

how much was the crosshair iv?

Martini1991 · 20 Apr 2010 at 18:28

166 quid.
I'm selling my old 790FXTA and 4GHZ capable 965 if you're interested in the MM.

mattjd · 20 Apr 2010 at 18:32

Such a shame I cant go into the MM for another ~26 days that is quite tempting

Hopefully it will never break on you and you will have had a good deal. If you ever have to use the their CS mind, you will wish that a 1,000 fleas would infest your arm pits
