When are we getting them in stock

So the new b3 mobos are out for most and I would like to ask for other people and not just me when are we getting them in stock.
Will it be on the 10th of march like the other vendors.

I am also interested in this as I want to build my PC as soon as possible and the only thing stopping me is the issue with the boards.

anuraj · 2 Mar 2011 at 15:30

Anyone.

I'm a noob what's b3 motherboards?

B3 Revision. Fixes SATA II ports 2-5. Thats the only difference

Cost intel a pretty penny. But wont effect most users who dont use SATA II anymore or have only a 1 or 2 sata II drives.

Same here,
holding back on my build untill the new boards are out, Im a noob to building a full system, i dont want to make things anymore complicated by swapping out boards in the near future.
Been saving now for the last 2 months, have a £1200 budget burning a hole in my pocket. system is for black ops , my6600 dual core 8800gts is not cutting the mustard anymore.
Off topic but when are the new c400 ssd coming out.

Holding back here on my SB build.

I reckon that the B3 mobo's wont be available until late May or June. Remeber that the first to receive will be the swap outs and oem's.

Asus, MSI and AS Rock have all started shipping the new boards so I can't see it being that late in the year. I recon end of March latest.

they have them listed for the 10th, doesn't mean to say they will actually have them stocked for the 10th.

B3 or not I'm not fussed, but when I order my next system next month having one would be a little peace of mind.

E: Anuraj am I right in saying you won't be ordering a new system for a while? If so why are you bothered when they're in stock?

anuraj · 2 Mar 2011 at 18:00

Just for the other people.

danzhang16 · 2 Mar 2011 at 18:11

Do you reckon they'll be more expensive than the current revision?

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it looks like I might be a bit wrong on the availabilty of the B3 mobo's. I have been away and I thought the first to receive the new boards would be the 'swap outs' & system builders'.

Who has had their faulty mobo repalced?

It will be interesting to see how much stock will initally be available.

R088ieS86 · 3 Mar 2011 at 15:15

OcUK have got some Asus Pro's Listed:
