We've been thru this. I build a lot of systems for others, and GB has been kicking Asus's ass for a couple gens now in terms of build quality, layout, and OCability. This isn't even taking into account my crappy clocking Maximus (because we all know you get the occasional dud, even in the best of hardware). I do agree that Asus is a good builder, and well above average in build quality. The EVGA and GB baords are just better. And for the price this will go for, I want the better board.



Nope. Still has to encode non-compatible outputs to spdif. Try it yourself. A sound card still sounds better over on-board, even thru spdif.

ahh ya still wrong!!!:laugh: :D

I was thinking about that the other day, but right now my Phenom II does a great job gaming with my HD 4870 Crossfire setup. But oh, where to find nice looking RED AMD mobo's :D

My 4850 does excelent with my i5 :cool:

To be honest, I don't see the point of an extra cable in the first place, sure the power is more evenly distributed ( supposedly) but presuming you've got a non shit psu you should be golden with 1 connection always.

to put an additional one on, AND two molex power connection just screams MARKETING to me.

" LOOK AT ME AND MY POWER"


I'm finding a lot of motherboards boring recently, getting bigger and flashier rather then working on the things that matter.

Component layout for example D:
While I was testing a Gulftown on P6T Deluxe V2 the VRMs were getting very hot (you could smell them) so no I don't think two 8 pin and 2 molex is overkill.
