maximus formula question

[stalin90]

So i just went into microcenter today and they had a max form onsale that was open box so i picked it up for around 200. so went on newegg to see what they were listing it as and all they have are open box, then looked on the asus site and couldnt even find it on there.
so did it get discontinued or something?? and if so why?

also found that there was a special edition of the max form... do any of you know the difference???

Still up at ClubIT, which is where I have been aiming to get mine.

ClubIT Product - ASUS Maximus Formula LGA775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard Retail

and it looks like the only difference between the regular and SE is the SE has a waterblock for a northbridge cooler.

yeah, watercooling block nb, that is the only diff. I wonder why they might have discontinued it...

i was lookin around last night some people were saying there not making it anymore because of x48 is comming out and there new x48 board is comming
i think its called rampage formula or something

how much of an improvement is x48 over 38?

 

[Peter.Cort]

x48 is just the "cream of the crop" x38 boards, and the x48 support ddr3

 

[nOcLuE98]

yeah, it is the rampage. I was reading on extreme, some people already have them. and some people are modding the x48 rampage bios on the formula. Cool stuff

the maximus formula is still on sale just if you want a water cooling one u need to get se, the regular one is still onsale.

[stalin90]
