there is maximus formula for u

hehe marximus formula, a good name i have to agree to that...........

why they arrange the pcie slot so close......... high profile GC going to have some problem.........

anyway lolhalal, i tot 2 phase PWM for ram already standard on the deluxe asus board for the current p35 already rite ?

btw 1 thing to ask, why the heck the blue heat sink so big, is the SB (or Nb??) chip that big ??

Oh I love that blue colour plating

nice mobo.... nice heat solution. but..... what's with the PCI slots /

really love the design of the mobo...beautiful..price sure kau kau

price maybe like first striker extreme out last time, 1.5k++....

dude u know right the blue is for the gpu...

so in the end u have two pcie slots and two pciex slots free when crossfired. what else can u ask for

its much better than 680 mobo which u end up with 3 pciex slots and one pcie slot when u sli.

wow~ nice board anyway but y nowaday the mobo's heat solution is getting mad?
the heat sink is getting bigger and biger and heavier and heavier...
and disturb the look of the board ,ungly......!!

more pic from vr-zone.com






















MORE PIC

i have a question...dun flame me pls cuz me noob, wat i intent to ask is y does this board more superior to blitz? the differents of x38 and p35 is just the 2.0 pcie? got any more? well i forget the high end ram profiles just like those n680 boards....but got more?

omg ! fcuking gorgeous board !

The ASUS Maximus Formula design is a lot nicer than the Maximus Extreme.

i still hate those heatpipe though... rather have asus just have normal heatsinks of the mofset, or what they are using now just without the heatpipes... the cost of prodcutiont to make those contraptions are high and jsut push the price up for the consumers.. if this board was meant for teh enthusiast / oc market then they should already kwn that we dont liek those heatpipes . rather have independant heatsinks.. but at least they have inprobved the heatsinks buy using screws unstead of plastic clips... now bad board but i would wait for the new boards .. rumour has it that they will have sli i posted some pics in this section of the forums.. have a look ...

how many maximus boards r there? ....I keep seeing max this max that...reminds me of the movie Gladiator


btw those wc heatpipes...any idea of copper or some plated stuff ?

got 2 model, maximus extreme -->ddr3
maximus formula -->ddr2

woot, still can slot a 8800 series card?? I feel like the RAM slot is blocking?? Correct me if i'm wrong eh

nop... the layout designed well, asus won't make it happened... is it happened it will wast the first slot and there will be no crossfire setup...

thx...looks like ddr2 will be a more realistic option until something happens to ddr3 prices


wonder why asus still insist on sticking the ROG metal sticker on SB...they shud just make fins/pins like the NB n PWM's...for those using inverted casings ie LL..the SB gets very warm

SB not so hot as NB... ASUS want to show their product identity that way... coz NB pre-applied with water colling block, no space to place the sticker

ok the blitz has a problem... the second pciex slot is PCIE 1.0 and not 1.1 and therefore u can only use PCIE 2.0 cards on the first pciex and not the second hence.. geee kindda stupid... but they had their reason cause of the crosslink which was brilliant idea ...

x38 performance .. hmm so far nothing great.. it has a difficult task of beating the blitz.
and yes the intel what ever profile thingy is on the x38 mobos...
the maximus supposedly has a x48 chipset on it also which is supposedly a higher bin/handpicked x38.
also x38 runs full 16x electrical pcie's.. so its pros for card.. cons for southbridge.. heato.

i think by now u would have known this is not going to happen..
only way is a hybrid mobo with mcp72 etc.
the octa core is just a workstation mobo's and usually they have a funny chipset and nvidia gives out special drivers for tesla and quadro that doesnt limit them to chipset mobo..


hmm wheres the slap icon...

see properly.........
