I still want to know what size barbs it has.

prob the same barbs as the 35 formula I think 3/8 eith 1/2 adapotrs.. would that restrict waterflow? I wish the ddr2 version had a water cooled NB sink.

Im in the market for a new board but Im trying to keep it as cheap as possible.. my patriot ram does not go good in this ds3 rev.1 I have.. my ocz gold's are working perfectly but they dont overclock and Im getting the rest of my water cooling stuff soon.


Edit: also theses boards are seposed to go for sale tomorrow!

Edit 2: NVm this board is prob going to cost 400USD.. the formula one is goign to be 370USD :O damm things better reach 600 fsb and give you a blow job along with a better overclock lol.

Nah, 3/8" should be fine, it's what I run, but 1/2" would be better.

Im not fully sure/mem loss lol humm do a search on the x35 formula if you really need to know.. though we can only figure it would have the same stock barb size as the x38 board.

I highly doubt I will be buying this board now since I see what price its going to be at.. Im prob goiong to get a cheap gigabyte x35 board when I find oout if its compatable with my patriot 8500 5-5-5-9 ram.. this ds3 rev.1 is not! thoguh people said they fixed the micron memory issue with an bios update it still dont work with my ram...

Sweet. Be sure to make a thread to let us know how it goes.

most definitely :)
besides I'll probably need some help with the OC as I only have hands on XP with AM2, 775 OC'ing is only from what I've read and a quick couple OCs with that e6600, though jumping from 2.4 to 3.0 on stock cooling without any voltage change or anything isn't much work haha
