The G1 assasin does not support 4 way SLI, it only supports 3 way SLI but at 8/8/8. I know tom doesn't like more than 2 cards at once but if someone is considering these boards, they will obviously be putting more than 2 cards in. I certainly hope this board has the N200 chip.
Asus Rampage III Black Edition
- Thread starter Icekube
- Start date
Don't you mean 2 NF200 chips? (32 lanes per chip) Secondly though it would be nice to have without needing the ROG Xpander board NF200 chips are not cheap so if it does have them this motherboard could end up being rather expensive.

overpriced much?
At least it's cheaper than the G1 Assassin.
Performance is costly,when asking for 15% more than second rated mobos ,at better (lower) voltage.

True, I just wasn't expecting it to be that much though. I was thinking ~ £300.
I was expecting the same,the r3e is nearly 1 year old (release date),and the black edition is only r3e maturing,before 1366 retirement.
But off topic,this one is going to outclock more expensive mobos

It might be cheaper over there, but in the states the G1 is around $50usd cheaper than the Rampage Black.
I love the features of the gigabyte offerings, just not the colors. The green, and now going with orange....ewwww. I personally like the black edition, but not going to pay that price tag for it. And I have to agree with Tom, I like his blue one
I personally like the blue colors of boards. But that's just me.

I personally don't think that the color really matters as long as its done right. for example i think ALL of the follow boards look great
g1 - green
gigabyte's OC - orange
this black r3 - black
msi marshal - blue
What ever the color is, you can build a system around it to look nice
as long as the mobo features are good, and the colors aren't messed up ( i saw some shitty crappy brand mobo that was black and yellow and other stuff all around , eww)
g1 - green
gigabyte's OC - orange
this black r3 - black
msi marshal - blue

The X58 OC.is expected to retail at 280,USD
X58 0C
Theres a look at the board with the guy from gigabyte,if you can make out what he's saying.
Loads of features on the board,but price reflects the lack of back panel connector ports.
As it states,this board is for overclockers,and extra peripherals plugged in will draw cpu power,so that's why they haven't included extra usb etc.
But overall i love the colour scheme,and the general layout of the board,and for £170 roughly,it's gonna be well worth the wonga.
