Asus ROG Series 890FX Motherboards on Show
Several new motherboards were found at Asus booth during CeBIT 2010 – Crosshair IV Formula and Crosshair IV Extreme.
Both of the boards employ AMD’s unannounced 890FX+SB850 chipset and support AM3 processors. The Crosshair IV Formula features 10+2 phase power design, four PCIe x16 slots, two PCI slots, four DDR3 memory slots, and six SATA 6Gbps & two SATA 3Gbps & two USB 3.0 ports.
Designed for hardcore overclockers, Crosshair IV Extreme board packs four PCIe x16 slots, one PCI slot and one PCIe x4 slot. Compared to Crosshair IV Formula board, the Extreme variant embraces several gamer-oriented features just like Super ML capacitors, voltage measuring points, ProbeIT technology, PCI-E power switch, iROG Blu-ray technology and BIOS ROM.
The two models will be officially announced in late April, around the time when AMD Phenom II X6 processors make their debut.

nice looking boards; too bad they’ll cost way too much.

All the new ASUS ROG Boards are HOT! Just because you canβt pay for them does not make them bad.

@EliteBastard: Look you insensitive clod… it [b]is[/b] a remarkable motherboard.
But my point is, my next motherboard’s either going to have dual 10/100/1000Mbp ports or a single 10/100/1000Mbp port with the Killer Xeno Pro NIC card for backup.
Do I make myself clear, or do you have anymore questions?

Insensative clod, I kinda like that, it’s almost gratuitous, thanks.
