Oh dear,
My plans for a new year economy drive may just have bit the dust.
Unless, yes i think i can get by with one kidney. Any takers?

Seems to be some conflicting info regarding the PCI-E slot arrangement. This is the configuration that was explained to me last night from Taiwan.

Green (x16), Green (x8), Yellow (x8)

Green (x16), Green (x16), Yellow (x0)

Is that a well used kidney? Flush it out with 2 bottles of JD and you might have a sale...

LOLZZ!! My kidneys are so ****** from JD and JB I couldn't get 10 dollars for both

-I wonder how easy it'll be to install a mosfet wb and all the aqua fixings on this board? I live in the desert so watercooling is kind of a must have.
-I hope they take their time on this bios. I had a few problems with my x48-t3r, so I ended up buyin the newest chip for it and sellin it on freebay :/ Plus my GF almost kicked me to the curb...DOH! But it was her fault for starting up the vacuum cleaner and poppin the circuit breaker when I was doin stuff!!!

I'm hoping the same thing about the BIOS, I think many of us had problems with the X48-T3RS

One of the reasons I stayed away from the T3R was because you fine folks told me of the problems. But I am hoping to see some good reviews on this board ... Clunk, any idea when you might get one for your in-depth "living reviews?" Really anxious in Alaska!!

It's leaving the TW depot on the 12th, should be in EU by the 15th, so sometime soon after that.

Anyway of knowing if the boards were all made in Taiwan? Or will some be coming from China? I've heard that the ones made in Taiwan have better quality control than those from China. Can you confirm that?

I have ordered my i7 965E and 6GB Corsair Dominator memory (3x2GB) DDR3 1600. I love DFI boards and have used them exclusively for years. I hope this board performs as good or better than the ASUS X58 Rampage II Extreme board. Clunk, what's your take on the ASUS board?
