Nice, I am looking to pick one of these up. Anything else about the board you think we should know or a few little tricks to get a nice stable overclock?
nothing special to know, this board is easy to overclock compare to original XBXOriginally Posted by Teratism
great board from Intel

I just ordered the BadAXE2 because I just don't trust the 680i yet. Hope I have as good of luck as you!!!
Hey Supertimor I see you've owned just about ALL the new boards supporting the Core 2Duo, how does the badaxe2 compare???
You other fellows that get the Bad Axe 2 be sure to post up your results. I am curious what it can do, and would like to see as many results from various users as possible.
I agree with you, I am about to order this board and want to see how members do with it as well.Originally Posted by malficar
Asus P6X58D Premium/ i7 920@3.8Ghz (3.8ghz 24/7)/3X2 Gigs Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24/Intel X25M-80gb SSD/Asus 5650/ OCZ Powerstream PSU/Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120/Samsung 40" LED TV/monitor/Windows 7 64bit
so far, it's the best board i've tested
important thing : it's retail board, bought from supplier (not review sample or handpicked stuff)

I'm with you guys aswell,stuff the 680i..im not ignorant and accept things have to be ironed out,but thats too much money for too much pain.
This AW9D-MAX is a pile of pants,and i want something thats overclockable and i can then leave alone.
Good luck.

Supertimo is that corsair memory you are using with this board?
Also is that a core duo e6600 that you have installed in it ?

Just an FYI...ZZF has both the BOX (retail) & the BLK (bulk) version of this board. Differences are minor...Originally Posted by malachi1313

Does anyone know if the BadAxe2 can unlock Conroes down (lower the multiplier)?
Does this do the double shutdown like some boards do?

As far as the board itself, the BOX version and BLK version are exactly the same. Only the packaging and accessories differ. TankGuys said the BLK only includes two SATA cables, while BOX should have four: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=122752Originally Posted by willow
There is supposed to be another version of the motherboard though, the LAD (LAD975XBX2LKR). It cut some features like FireWire, optical audio and the secondary RAID controller, but adds a TPM chip: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd..._available.htm
No, lower multiplier unavailable.Originally Posted by bofors
