Hang on a sec, you mean to tell me the CPU chipset determines what Gen graphics goes on a motherboard? geez that just....Bytes 😛 in all the years i've been messing around with computers and trying to keep up to date with the latest tech, I never knew about that :eek:

No V Extreme to go with that new first ever 4.2 before OC ? yea...right.


V or VI Extreme, doesn't bother me mate. As long as it's got PCI-e G3 AND is competing directly with the Intel boards(at least in the way of features) THEN i'll be a happy Aussie RoGr :cool:

Intel, Intel, Intel BLAAAAH!!!! Is ASUS/RoG gonna bring out an Extreme Ed of the CHV board and offer Quad SLI in PCIe 3.0? it's rather annoying that Intel boards are able to keep pushing all the latest stuff, while AMD boards lag behind somewhat. Hell if an extreme CHV comes out, i'll put my brand new system into early retirement as a Media Centre and build another system based on a Extreme CHV with the new 4.2GHz when AMD pushes it out the factory ~drools~ where's ChrsPlmr when u need backup? lol 😛 😉

Finally we have an official tread and we have the benediction of the Marshall to talk about it, no one will be arrested, .....let's ROG'n'Roll, no speed limits ( is Chrsplmr have use this one )

looks like i wasn't totally wrong saying Formula put the Gene is still a nice board but the lag of SATA just keeps bringing it down on my list even i got a IV Gene-Z myself but still it's kinder like ._. i already filled them all so if i need more i need to get to long eSata to Sata kables and i think the Gene board would be picked from more if they got more Sata connectors on board.

but still i think i will wait and see how big performance difference there is between Gene-Z/Gen3 and a Gene Z77 board comming to cpu, memory, gfx and ssd/hdd performance.


but i am still amazed seeing a PCI-Express x4 as the first slot on the Formula is that a 3.0 aswell or 2.0 only?

It's a secret still because the Formula is not available until ~May and we don't want others to steal our tech and whip out a new revision (it happened last gen - we were the only manuf. who could run the SB GPU for QuickSync when the PCIe GPU was active at launch)

puma99dk| - Gen 2 4x slot from the PCH iirc.

thx MarshallR it's nice to know ^^

even i am still like why the first slot even it actually don't bother me that much so u can take a high-end PCI-Express x4 SSD, Raid controller and still run 3way SLi/CrossFire, or use it for a Audio card or something since there is a Intel Gigabit Ethernet on it u shouldn't be needing a other one.
