Doesn't seems to be anywhere close to realistic to pay for such expensive motherboard loh .. somemore it's just a matx ..

I really hope any manfacturer continue to release 775 matx with mild OC capability like Asus P5E VM-HDMI....at least the price isn't a killer.

Asus will release a 775 matx soon , name Maximus II Gene, with P45 chipset, duno how much will they charge for this mobo






More details

the socket placement is bad

lotsa ppl will face heatsink clearance issue

I cant even put my sound card due to the layout of the mobo loh ..

looks like I've got to forget about matx mobo liao ...

so far all 775 Matx board with CF and SLI feature oso comes with this slot layout, except the -DFI LP JR GF9400-T2RS.

that's the issue loh, I dont really prefet having cf slot than additional PCI-E slot for sound card loh .. since I'm using PCI-E slot sound card ..

lol...tat's why i sell my SC =__="
coz the PCI i use for TV tuner already.... no more PCI hahaha...

how about ASUS HDAV 1.3? can use the PCI-E small small port there

Doom's sc is also the pci-e 1x one

that's why I used P5E VM HDMI last time, it has the short PCI-E slot before the graphic card ..

but still i have to remove the shield on my sound card so that TRAD2 screw doesnt hit the sound card itself

not sure any maxt case suitable for my usage loh .. .can't find one good suitable layout for me these day loh .

dats why we call it SFFactor

the fun+challege is when build the rig

Thermalright announced new cooler under it's COCAGE brand.So far COCAGE family only has two members: True Spirit and MST-140.Here i show u guys the MST-140 MST-140 has a large surface area for cooling (140mmX140mm) with two ball 140mm silent fans (140mm fan include), and the down draft airflow helps to cool CPU surroundings. MST-140 measures 144*147*70.2mm, and supports LGA775 and LGA1366 Socket, but the price is unknown yet.

COGAGE products are mainly designed for the entry-level market with decent cost performance according to Thermalright.

wow... looks great

good news for sugo user

@xk2
the cooler looks great loh, hopefully the price not like AXP-140

DFI LP DK P45 JR T2RS

According to the source, the COCAGE is thermalright's value department, so the price should be lower than Thermalright's own product.
source

Yes, COCAGE's price is lower than Thermalright

So u got bring in too ?

Yes but don't know can it support SFF.

based on the pic , it might have some clearance issue with most sff casing , the side cover maybe unable to close due to the location of cpu socket

@OC4/3
the layout make it not really possible to install the sound card without removing the shield cover.

@Edifier
it can support SFF mobo loh, but not really sure for the case.
