  • It's Intel Lan.... We got a little more speed there ;)

    Also, where can you find this board at a trusted seller for a Lower price? Thanks :)

  • i think linus likes this board

  • Six people searched for Extreme Bored Mothers.

  • Crosshair IV Extreme vs Crosshair IV Formula ? what would you say ?

  • ma in italaiano non esiste nulla??? sempre solo sti kazzo di inglesi o kazzo di americani????

  • Comment removed

  • @monoxydeish impara un pó la lingua del mondo colione. Nessuno sene frega dell'italiano

  • "THE LUCID CHIP IS HERE!" Lol, nice unboxing.

  • realy need help it dos not have to do with this video but if any one can halp it would be very helpful i just bought a ati radeon HD 6770 from best buy and it will not boot with my desktop motherboard is a asus m2a-mvp also bought a power suply with pci-e 6 pin plug for the gpu it will boot with my older gt 220 but not with the hd6770 PLEASE HELP

  • does this mobo have crossfire?

  • @TheCppProgramming

    ... are you serious?

    of course=

  • i bought this mother board and a 1090t black edition im building my first gaming machine not sure what ram to go with any help would be awsome

  • hi linus, is there any way you can xplain us how to set up this hydralogix 200, i have one, with a 580 gtx and a hd 6870, and theres no way to make it work with those monsters graphic cards

  • I'm thinking about getting this motherboard and the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition processor.

    This is my first time and I would like to have a high end PC.

    Am I on the right tracks?

  • would this support ddr3 2000mhz mem

  • wish Lavcopricetech would do an unboxing of this board and try out its options

  • I think ive drooled a little.

  • Would this be able to fit into the IN WIN DRAGON RIDER?

  • What case would you recommend for this motherboard?

  • That clear cmos button on the bottom is actually the button to switch between two pre loaded BIOSes

  • Will this fit in an Antec 902 V3?

  • dam, i want this. Guess im going to have to build a computer now.

  • so i can run SLI GTX 580 with this card?

  • so this board is wider than other standard boards, is it taller?

  • A X6 is not better then an X4 at gaming, and AMD can't compare to Sandy Bridge...yet... time to see how good Bulldozer is going to be. The Phenom II X6 were a disappointment in my opinion... they were barely able to beat the Core i5 750

  • does not unlock my x3 720 at 4.2ghz stock cooler

  • @TurkishGaming not all x3 cpus can unlock the 4th core u have to be lucky enuff to get a model that can unlock the 4th core also why r using a 3core cpu on a mobo like this u should be running atleast a 955 x4

  • @MiniExtreme waiting for BULLDOZER

  • @TurkishGaming ohk 

  • can i use older CPU coolers on this board

  • @23juliano231 do que adianta escrever em português aqui onde todos estão falando ingles???? why talk in portuguese when all here are talking in english??

  • o cheiro de placa nova so nao deve ser melhor q o cheiro da peka de cabaço...

  • once intel realises that their top of the line processors are not 1,000 dollars. Then i might change my mind about going with intel. 

  • thats the nicest board iv ever seen, too bad its using the AMD platform, it would be so much better on an intel X58 platform only because the intel X58 SOME of the Socket LGA 1366 are more powerful than any CPU AMD has to offer

  • can this board fit in a Raven2 ?

  • where can i find the last driver for it?

  • yes you did u showed the manual with the crosshair iv formula im pre sure

  • YOU REALLY SHOULD STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO THROW THE INCLUDED CD. WITH MY CROSSHAIR IN WINDOWS 7 PRO 64-BIT THE IS ONE DRIVER THAT ONLY LOADS WHEN THE CD IS PUT IN OTHERWISE IT EXISTS NOWHERE ELSE.NOT ONLY THAT BUT SAY YOUR BUILD A NEW COMPUTER CUZ YOU DON'T HAVE ONE YOU THROW THE DISK AWAY, THEN GET SIDE TRACKED, YOUR GARBAGE GOES OUT BEFORE YOU EVER GET BACK TO THE BUILD, YOU GET IT RUNNING BUT NO INTERNET, DISK IS LONG GONE IN TRASH, NO NIC DRIVERS!! NOW WHAT? REMEMBER YOU HAVE NO OTHER PC!!!!!

  • @The24Pitman Pretty sure he says it jokingly just to assure people download the latest drivers. If anyone is like me, I keep all the mobo extras/manuals/discs in the box in a closet somewhere.

  • @CalypsoRaz on the ASUS Rampage III Formula, ASUS P8P67 Pro P67 "COMPLETELY IGNORE, THROW AWAY", Asus Sabertooth P67, MSI Big Bang Xpower, ASUS M4A89TD PRO, Gigabyte P67A-UD7 P67 just to name a few, hes says to THROW THE DISK AWAY. ITS NO JOKE, and like i said before could cause some real trouble. i would START with the disk and work from there.

  • @The24Pitman Well let me put it this way; Any moron should know that you dont just throw away a driver disc. If you've purchased this board or any similar quality board, you should have enough know how to ignore such "advice". Obviously my statement doesnt pertain to you.

  • @CalypsoRaz Have you ever built a computer? lets say this is the first time for you and you were thinking about a board because a friend told you about it. to find out more you go on youtube and look it up the first thing you come to is a video like this. now this is your first build you are a MORON so to speak I FRIED MY FIRST PC, it was a Dell 386sx. and he just told you to do something you DO NOT know better not to do. I'M JUST SAYING ITS NOT AT ALL SOUND ADVICE EVEN IF IT IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!

  • wow, Lucid Hydralogix sounds like it's going to be my next wife :)

  • TO ANYONE BUYING THIS BOARD, the fan is extremely loud. Take out the fan connector. Works just fine and is nice and silent.

  • Should I get this one or the Gigabyte p67 ud5 mobo?

  • @mefirez66 just take this one.its really cool.

  • Do you tink this board fits in the corsaire 600t graphite series?????

    And if i understood right, you can mix up Nvidia Graphics with ATIs ?

  • @GearsofWarNiceDay Yes, you can match any video cards you want in the world. Lol. That's why this motherboard is my fav!

  • 4 people lost their penis' in a car crash!

  • ...great upload, very informative and helpfull. But is it possible to run two radeon 5870´s and one additional nvidia gtx 470 for physx on this board??

    Thumbs up and many greetings.

    FuenfamTag

  • @FuenfamTag as an owner of the ch4e, yea you can do it. I just tried it with my 6950s and gtx 260 and it worked just fine naturally with out the lucid chip. Using the lucid chip would just smash 2 6950s and the gtx 260 together. I personally dont use the board for the lucid chip but the other features are amazing. Also, you can do your build on pretty much any other AMD motherboard since there are 2 drivers. You would dedicate the 470 to PhysX and BAM! your all set. Hope I helped! :)

  • @ShitakeStudios , thx a lot for your answer. Your comment is very helpfull for sure. Your support is higly appreciated. Take care and many greetings.

    FuenfamTag

  • @FuenfamTag No problem. Happy to help! :)

  • @FuenfamTag why would you want a GTX 470 for physix? even a GTS 250 is overkill if its only for Physix purpose

  • @gmk120 maybe he just has one already :?, if he doesnt then it is just unnecessary to get one just for physx

  • @FuenfamTag

    What I've understand it, yes it will be possible to run 5870 cfx and one gtx 470 for physx

  • @hakonsoll , thx for your answer. Hopefully I will find time to try this Hydra Logix technic in the near future.

    Greetings.

    FuenfamTag

  • @FuenfamTag This can run bassically anything

  • @FuenfamTag theirs enough pci slots i just dont know if its possible

  • I'm thinking about buying this board with the AMD II X6 1055T 2.8 GHZ processor. I'm wanting good gaming performance on budgeted funds I was wondering if the overclocking follows the same easy steps as you demonstrated for the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, what hard drive you would recommend for the 6GBs, and what memory size, number of sticks and frequency would you suggest to use with this board. Thank you in advance for your advice and any technical suggestions.

  • @MrWoodiesable you buy this board you better put a black edition cpu on it.

  • @ShitakeStudios I put an x3 regular edition in it!

  • @CalypsoRaz then u wasted ur money buying this board. go give it back and buy some cheap quality biostar motherboard. This board deservers either a six core or at least quad core. now if you were to unlock that to a quad core, good job, but still. get a six core it seriously is not that much.

  • @ShitakeStudios lawl.. I was kidding, I have a 1090T saddled in this board.

  • @CalypsoRaz lol nice. I have one too at like 4.2 ghz. Going to water cool soon since i just found a koolance waterblock.

  • If im not going to be running Hyrda do you think i should go with the formula and save 100 bucks? And do you think there will be a price drop for formula soon?

  • If i ran 2 gtx580's on this board, could i use 3 screens, since you need to run 2 580 in sli to use 3 screens o.O?????????????????

  • For everyone that keeps asking for SLI on a motherboard, just head over here: xdevs . com / e107_plugins / content / content . php ? content . 30

  • I wish this kind of board support sli..

  • Hi there, there;s a question that i need to ask you all, can the Cooler Master v6gt be used on this "monster"? LoL

    & if so, does it affect the ddr3 slot?

  • Just got mine for Xmas ... SCOREEE

  • is this an Atx or Eatx board? cause the site says Eatx

  • @thefinALE007 the ASUS and ROG site says ATX im sure about that. It is considered an ATX motherboard because the holes are ATX but there is an additional width on the right side so officially its an ATX but from my opinion its EATX.

  • Nice Unboxing.

  • Eh, I kinda hate seeing the old PS/2 keyboard connectors... What is the point of it anymore? What modern Gaming Keyboard has a PS/2 connection? I certainly can't think of any. USB 2.0 is the norm now. It's what I use.

    Oh and as for the Mobo itself, I've been torn between deciding whether I want the Crosshair IV Formula or Extreme but I read on one site there is/was some issue with the LAN driver on the Extreme.

  • I've heard some bad things about the LAN driver... However it doesn't seem to have the same heat issues the Crosshair IV Formula has had. Honestly I've been torn between the two for my next build.

  • @sheriexsunshine no you cant do SLI with this. its more about being able to run different cards in multi GPU configuration in addition to CrossfireX which is NOT part of the hydralogix engine.

  • whats that black thing sticking out the bottom of the north bridge cooler? looks like tape or something?

  • Hi I noticed you said that it is NOT an sli ready board but because of the lucid chip you are able to mix and max nvidia and ati cards. Now does this mean that if you were planning on using multiple cards at least one of them would have to be ati? Or could you run two nvidia cards in sli without hindering performance? This response is going to either make or break my deal so hope to hear back soon thanks!

    btw you have THE BEST reviews!!!

  • FuturePROOF!

  • i have to say you do the best unboxing i was going to go with the formula version but i was not so sure because im going to be running 2 asus ares in crossfire an im not to sure if the bord will take to it would you happen to no what is best for that?

  • My crosshair III feels really old now.. lol

  • what board is better - this or Rampage III extreme?

  • @sup3rto4st3r this one

  • @sup3rto4st3r rampage is an older series, which is lacking on some new technologys such as tweaking your settings of your mobo from your smart phone, using a nvidia and ati graphics card by mixing and matching this is the only motherboard adm to have this technology in 2010

  • nice unbox linus. but we wanna see her up and running with mix n match gpu's.

  • Just ordered this board, and it comes today! Anybody got any idea how the 'Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz' RAM preforms? I ordered 8GB to go in this amazing board.

  • @KrazyKoyk

    thats going to run extremely Fast

    i will be ordering the same mobo so i can still use my 8800 GT haha

    with amd 1090 six core cpu

  • nut

  • Now this is an awesome motherboard, I am a big fan of AMD and I'm running the new AMD 1090t 6 processors at 3.2ghz stock but I overclock it to 3.89ghz w/PC2000 8 gig with 2 EVGA GTX 580 very stable, simply because AMD is an awesome processor for the price and Nvidia is way better video card, so I have the best of both world :) I'm loving my bad az rig it's so fast 'less qq more pew-pew' BBC2, Black Ops, Medal Of Honor and Combat Arms.

  • @jonmat71 you high on crack boy?

  • so would there be any difference running 2 gtx580's on a intel board in "Sli" compared to running 2 gtx580's on this board?

  • You forgot the case sticker!!

  • also how many channels of DDR3 dual or triple

  • @Randomshit1353 only e high end i7 run on triple channel

  • @Randomshit1353

    it's clearly in the vid

  • will HAF 922 fit this with a 6870

  • @Randomshit1353 if you have e money to get this board+good cpu and gpu, you should be at least getting a HAF X..

  • @chinweet this does not need HAF X btw its too much money. i think 922 is fine it fits a 5870 (bigger than 6870) so i think it will do fine go look at the vids for the coler master HAF 922

  • @Randomshit1353 922 is massive for a mid-tower :-) building a pc piece buy piece has its drawbacks suck for me:(

  • @Randomshit1353 should 

  • Does anybody know if this board supports turbo v like the formula version does

  • this mobo is godly You can run both nvidia and radeon cards at the same time

  • I want one of those!!! :D

  • @khaloyi this week... i get one of those:D with THE 6core AMD

  • On the PCI x port you was talking abaut 16 and 8 "what" ca 4:30 in this movie.

  • is there a difference between sli and lucid hydralogix? because i'm looking for a mainboard for sli

  • sli is only nvivida motherboards so you can only run 2 nvidia cards at the same time

    this mobo crosshair IV EXtreme will allow you to run w/e card you want at the same time

    its the only mobo of its kind

  • does this have as low % of power raise as the msi 870 fuzion when doing x mode with gracs cards?

  • why dont they make a Asus Crosshair IV Gene with two x8-x8 lanes? like a maximus III gene or a Rampage III gene...

    would be nice for us smallformfaktor : )

    greate review :D

  • i say dis 1 b cuz u can use Radeon or Nvidia or to of dem at the same time unlike cross hair formula iv it has wat the cross hair formula iv did`nt hav at dat time. ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme it had me like wow.

  • Which is the BEST the cross hair formula iv or This one.. Please reply.. I need to get one.. :)

  • @spurtipreetham obviously this one dude.....

  • Luckily, you don't have to run the northbridge fan. Asus put that on there for cases with low airflow. Why you would have a low airflow case and a high end board is beyond me, but hey, Asus is nice like that. P.S. if you have a half decent case, don't use the fan, because it is REALLY loud.

  • @justinb93 so its possible to run this board safely without the fan?

  • @1994floflo I read that on a review site that got word from asus that its safe. I was going to get this board, but I decided to wait for the new AM3+ bulldozer cpus.

  • @justinb93 i thought about waiting for the bulldozer to but i think ill just wait till the hexacore and the 5970 gets a little cheaper and then ill build a system with that.

  • must have for me ^^ I hope I can buy it in germany :D must have MUST HAVE! 

  • Hey Linus, the USB ports that you don't know what they are are another USB header and the OC Station header. You didn't showed us the RC Bluetooth daughterboard :(.

  • This mobo is the cream of the cream!!!! >.<

  • Belive it or not Free energy is real,But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!

  • 5 5970 would be baddass

  • @matty12345a1 Yeah.. Ur electric bill would be badass too ^_^ hhahahaa

  • @Blackcandlez yea gulping down 1200w ok power

  • @matty12345a1 unless, but badass XD

  • What does SLI mean? I am very new to all this but I would like to learn that's why I subscribed :D

  • @piplup10203854

    SLi means you connect 2 nvidia cards and make them work together :)

    Crossfire is ATI's equivalent of SLI :)

  • @iWearGlassesLOL Oh ok thank you :)

  • what is a good dual graphics card motherboard for am2 or plus for between 50 to 100 pounds

  • @kennztube

    why would you buy an am2 when am3 is already mainstream?

  • please siop saying to throw away the disks (we know) it's getting annoying!

  • get a formula if u arent gonna use EVERY part of this board. or need sli for some reason other wise the chip holds it back.

  • Isn't that the dual bios switch button at 7:34, and not the CMOS clear button? It should be since it's pretty similar to RIIIE.

  • Intel is way better! You can see it when you look at the price

  • Quick question. Why throw away every disk? All it does is pollute. Use them as coasters or find some way to recycle them.

  • @EphraimJWitchwood you know? why don't you just keep them on your wall or something? if you're a geek i think it's a pretty good idea.

  • @Lukis300 That could work too. But then you'd have either a wall of labels, or one so shiny that you'd blind yourself by looking at it. :P

  • @EphraimJWitchwood than don't look at it :D

  • When is the ASUS immensity coming out?

  • so would this motherboard fit in a haf 922

  • @sp1eedy its an extended atx board. so it wouldnt fit. it fits in the 932 though

  • so would this motherboard fit in a haf 922

  • Make a review of Esther please

  • The Cooler is fucking Loud

  • Wait, how.. wait.. Wait, how will you run a GTS450 and a HD5970 together? I mean.. wait. What? Please explain someone. How on earth are they gonna work together? Will they automatically do that, or will you have to say "hey, you two are a pair now, work together" with some kind of cable? I'm confused..

  • Comment removed

  • @TheNordbjerg

    isn't allready common for now ??

    u can run a nvi and ati card on a same system, i heard it just a mater of instaling both drivers and some twaking and there are, event the nvi can be dedicated for pyhsx ^^

    but on this mbo, the is the lucid hydra chip that can make u run ati and nvi without any confusing tweaking

  • @mavfreaks That is so cool! :D

  • My dream MoBo...

    I'm mad waiting to see OC and benchs, so Linus we trust in you!

  • @carlos696bf2 i agree

  • i dont really hear the nb fan sound tho many are complaining, casing fan and h70 covers it up

  • Hey Linus, keep in mind PS/2 ports have absolutely no delay while USB keyboards update based on specific intervals. Technically speaking it's better to go with a ps/2 port when working with a keyboard.

  • Can SATA 3 be used with any type of HD or is it like USB 3.0., were the case has to be compatible? (i mean it's FULL POTENTIAL)

  • @noxrulez SATA 3 is back compatible with the older versions, but you obviously won't get the performance advantage of the newer drives made for it.

  • Can SATA 3 be used with any type of HD or is it like USB 3.0., were the case has to be compatible?

  • it took me 40 minutes to load this video. gotta love australian 3g wireless broadband

  • ARES ARES ARES ARES x16 x16 x8 x8 ...

  • @VictorVladutz Is Octo-fire even possible?

  • @MetalB33rSolid No.. Practically you can only put 3 ARES cards on the ARES maximum because an ARES card is a 3 slotcard so...it needs space :) bun you can only put 2 in crossfire and the third...well...what do you do with the third?:)))

  • epic extension at the end,:D

  • I love your videos. You are a computer book!

    //Jesper.

  • Do a performance test please.

  • how many people paused the vid to read the paragraph? :D

  • @masik7290 ME!

  • maybe ATI will come up with something similar so Physx

  • @shaban96 It'd be nice to have it as an OpenCL (or similar) sort of implementation so anybody can write it into their games and have it work on any compliant card from any manufacturer. That would solve many issues and fix the divide we're seeing with so many games using PhysX which can't be done on non NVIDIA cards, unless you offload it to the CPU which reduces performance.
