Asus lets bit-tech in on its secret new X58 motherboard and oh my, does it look fully featured - overclocking, energy efficiency, serial attached SCSI (SAS), SLI (?), CrossFire and even the kitchen sink!

6 DDR3 slots, looks like a bit of fun lol. Good to see the heatsink array is held on with screws not push pins. That OC Palm looks like a really good idea but I think it may just be a gimmick for sales. Over all it looks like a very visually and feature appealing board. However my DFI 680ilt board is still going great lol, no upgrade for a few years.

wuyanxu · 21st Aug 2008, 11:35

the colour scheme looks bad-ass. but the MCH heatsink doesn't look very effective at dissapating heat.

OC Palm? looks like it'd be useless for on-the-fly OC, but im excited about a hardware monitor

no need to buy G15 anymore
and what's with 16 phase power when Gigabyte and all other company only used 6 or 8.

Nice to see we're still getting floppy and PS2 ports, even on a motherboard from the FUTURE.

If you don't need SAS, it is backward compatible to SATA as the connectors are identical.

Woo yay! Excellent news.

Get it tested!! Excitedbouncelulz!1

I really look forward to the more indepth article.

So how many millions will this cost me?

ComputerKing · 21st Aug 2008, 12:37

HOLY ****!!! This what I'm talking about.1!!!! ASUS ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN"T wait to get one

Pure porn . Awesome !

liratheal · 21st Aug 2008, 12:39

24gb?

20-mother ****ing-4?

So.. I think I need one.

jokkos · 21st Aug 2008, 12:56

imo it looks awesome. 24GB of RAM....hmm seems like the time to move to a 64-bit OS is approaching !

samkiller42 · 21st Aug 2008, 12:56

Why oh why do they continue to add floppy and IDE support?i don't want it, it clutters up the board in my opinion.
"Asus, listen up, do a stripped down version of this, get rid of those pesky ide channels, and the PS2 ports on the back, add more usefull things like USB, and SATA connections, please"....No? worth a shot at least.

This board does look tasty, and i was looking to go Nforce 790i, but i may hold fire and look at this if it supports dual 280gtx's.

Until you see the bill and reach into the bottom of your wallet. If it was DDR2 then you would be very happy with 6 cheap 1gb sticks.

I agree.

The board layout looks awesome. Almost all the little things 'we' don't want seems to be fixed. Except for those two non 90 degree sata connectors, but seeing the space that on the board I will forgive them...

Redbeaver · 21st Aug 2008, 14:46

looks awesome, but i'll wait for a DFI board that supports Nehalem..................

djDEATH · 21st Aug 2008, 16:24

as above. i want one.

need that NF200 chip on there tho for me to buy one

theevilelephant · 21st Aug 2008, 18:46

sorry what exactly are 5000hour capacitors, if thats their lifespan then thats a bit naff.... Looks nicely featured though, as previously mentioned scrap ide&floppy, they dont have a place on high end boards anymore.

mrb_no1 · 21st Aug 2008, 21:21

sweet, i'd love to see what thi board can with all the ultras and super mega hyper phalanges that asus says it has...plus what will asus do for the ROG, and what will the price of the rog be, maybe upwards of £300? anyways, nice new bit of hardware, cant wait for the testing

peace

If only I had copious amounts of money to burn.

tominated · 22nd Aug 2008, 00:37

Sublym3 · 22nd Aug 2008, 01:28

I wonder how over priced it will be

tuaamin13 · 22nd Aug 2008, 03:31

I'm wondering the a) cost and b) PCI-e 16x arrangement for CrossfireX. They appear to be different colors, so doesn't that mean they don't normally run at full 16x when placed in Crossfire? I've generally seen boards use the same color PCI-e 16x connectors if it supports full 16x/16x, but this one doesn't.

Hopefully all will be revealed with the full review.
