This was listing for $299 just yesterday. 4 hours and it's already out of stock, not even 5am yet.

Kentsfield compatible, I am so interested in this board with a Q6600 down the road!

NewEgg JUST got this board listed, within the last 3ish hours. OOS though even so, and $230+shipping http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127011

And even that gets blocked if you've got a couple of video cards in there.

From what the review said in the dual gpu scenario you have basically no expansion slots.

Edit #2: Now I have found that there are 4 pin to 8 pin converters. Seems to me that this would do the trick (other than having 4 wires carry the full load of the aux power supply). With the molex connector, still seems like this would be enough power for this board. Anyone see why not?

Edit: Seems that you do indeed need the 8 pin aux connector (per motherboard forum). Oh well, so much for that. I'm not going to trash my power supply for "this" new board. On to the next one!


Just curious, do you need the 8 pin aux ATX connector? My power suppy has the 4 pin aux but not an 8 pin model? Need a newer supply to run this board?

 

[amd4life]

what powr supply has 8 pin connectors? mine sure doesnt and it a upgraded model

so I have to buy a new powersupply to run this board?

 

[Kougar]

EPS12 connectors aren't anything new, supposed to be better for power stability anyway. 4-> 8 pin adapters are strongly not recommended, but I don't recall if this was due more for the board or the PSU, or both.

Neo HE line has this connector And from what I have heard, EPS12 is needed for Kentsfield to run on a board anyway.

Yes, major bummer there. It would bum me out to see my x-fi sitting on the shelf......

Where have you been??

C2D fan(atic)s have been loving up the ASUS P5B, ASUS P5W-DH, Gigabyte DQ6, and Intel Bad Axe... all of which are $250-280 usually.

This board appears to be capable of out-overclocking the P5W-DH, it already outperforms it nicely, and costs ~40 less doing it.

Price dropping


$208 plus shipping at Ewiz (looks to be in stock).

Give it a tad for the "new" to wear off and it will fall!
