Well, obviously this one would have been the best one

But since the engineers jumped ship, u`d probably have to chose the one they made:

The Foxconn one does it for me, cept... why they cooling the bridge with a loud-speaker ?

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

LOL it looks like a loud speaker, but infact it is actually a speaker coned shape cooler with a 40mm (to my understanding) fan on the top of it

Maybe it vibrates at such a high frequency the human ear can't hear it, while also pushing air onto the chipset.

Actually is this plausible??

'Hi, We're foxconn and we want to be DFI!'

 

[Rastalovich]

Pfft I`d rather any of them try to be Abit tbh

Guess we won`t see that 8 phase pwm either now.

What the heck u make this thread for !

lol

 

[usman.zx10]

so is the nforce 200 bridge going to be an included addon with these boards? are they native CFX and with the nforce bridge can do SLI?

im still kinda confused about that..

Let's hope the Foxconn offering is a bit more reasonably priced than the prices of the Asus boards on ocuk

When the board prices start floating around ~€150 and the lowend bloomfield is about €250, I'm sold

 

[Rastalovich]

Meh, with a new socket, I can see the prices being artificially high for several months atleast.

Update:

"Today DFI showed off one of their offerings as well: the LANPARTY UT X58."
