[coolaler results]8800GTX SLI@abit IN9-32X-MAX(N680i)first shot!

[htltwb]

thanks for backing me up man, i just got back and finish reading through the thread

[Torchon]

Such a pretty Mobo.... I'd give my left testicle and three toes on my left foot to have one.

I just hope it comes out soon...Can't build my rig until then and everything's waiting on it.

[slykid]

too many mobos coming out with good oc's dunno which one to choose anymore

[Hooker]

^ Exactly.


I'd like a head-to-head with all the new shiny toys some of the guys here have scattering around ^^.

The abit board is only 5 phase digital PWM, NOT 6.

DFI's board will be 6.

Abit is claiming 650~ Max FSB. Link.

[Grinch]

Abit is claiming 650~ Max FSB. Link.

"Talking about overclocking during our visit, ABIT mentioned that the board should be able to do around 650MHz FSB (an amazing 2600MHz bus speed) but with extra work in the cooling department, you may see bus speeds around 2800MHz. Keep in mind that none of this is proven yet and only time will tell as ABIT spends the next couple months fine tuning their BIOS for the release of the board sometime in Q1 next year."

How many companies are going to release a board when it is just right? Not that I mind.

[cambrian]

the Asus non "ROG" version is available on zipzoomfly. It's price at $299, which is acceptable but still expensive. It seems it's just a reference board with the fancy heatsink added. But it does use a different bios manufacturer than evga.

I think ultimately what will make or break these 680i boards are the bios support because they theoretically should be the same. I have the evga board right now and I very worried about their bios support. Asus has a good tradition of releasing bioses really early and really fast. Damn I wish Asus had released their board earlier so I can buy theirs instead of the evga.

They claimed 470 FSB with AWD9-Max
I am stuck at 390 so maybe thier 680i board will do 650 - 90 = 540 FSB

1 part of the website says 5 another part says 6 ...
It doesn't really matter as long as it's well engineered.

I emailed abit about the 200 boards on ebay, here is the reply.

Dear Paul,



Thanks for your inquiry regarding our excellent IN9 32X-MAX motherboard. The link on the bottom was a mistake and has been removed in order to avoid confusion with a promotion that is only going on in another country for abit. For the U.S., the IN9 32X-MAX will not be available for purchase till January 2007. Be sure to tame the beast then when it comes out!

isn't the layout slighty different? if you check the specs for the non rog board, it uses asus's own oc utilities etc and only bfg,evga, biostar and ecs i believe will use nvidias reference design

[Torchon]

January? Ha, ha. They just made my decision a lot easier.


Which is quite sad, cause i was really looking forward to this board.

[shimmishim]

i hope their bios support is better than what they've done with the aw9d-max.

it's been almost 2 months since they've released an official bios.

other than that, this board does like very nice.

wish things would get back to the nf7-s days!

I do not own that motherboard but this guy do http://www.nordichardware.com/Review...&skrivelse=489 . Don't know but he has reached 500fsb with it later.
