I've not spotted the shiney X-fi chip on the board like the current Crosshair IV has, will this remain a feature?

Is there an estimated release date?

I've not been a fan of Asus for around 2yrs since all the hastle I had, but looking to go AMD for a change and willing to give Asus another go. The board was great, but the GPU's reliability and RMA service were pathetic.

Just going to get extended coverage with my e-tailer this time cause if it breaks, I'm not going through the suffering again.

Really hoping this board turns my opinion around.

There is no X-fi chip on this board since a external sound card wiull probably be included in the package.

I would have thought so normally but the Crosshair IV has the X-Fi chip fitted onto the motherboard, and since this board is showing on board audio, but no sign of the chip, I wondered if it'd been left out

So we have 2 choice then.

1 : the chip is under the huge mobo cooler.
2: The chip is the ITE made on just in front of the PCI-e port

I'm not surprised for the board only has standard HD audio.
Since it's built for overclocking and Lucid hydra multi-GPU technology.
we can see clearly there isn't much room left for more components on the board.
I got to admit Asus engineers have done great job improving mobo layout in the latest boards, before was just barely enough.

It's found on the left hand side of the Crosshair IV - had a silver badge initially.



More interested in the Lucid Hydra tbh - loving the look of 3x-way 16x speeds

Just wouldn't want to lose speed by having to add a better soundcard 😞

The pic you posted is a Crosshair 4 formula which is not the same regarding the extreme. I make the same mistake yesterday to XD
