Still no 590 SLI for Intel?

[captainjy]

Weren't some of these 590 SLI mobo's supposed to be coming out early August? Any news?

 

[GoatMonkey]

I'm sure those boards coming out won't slip past Anandtech/Dailytech. I haven't heard anything about it since the AM2 announcements.

I have read that thread, probably because I started it. I understand that some users answered end of month, but I have read August 1st. Just wondering if anyone has heard any definite dates yet?

End of August......

 

[Skott]

Yeah, end of August is what I heard too. There are no official firm dates that I know of. The closest I read about official dates was August/September time frame and that was about a month or so ago in some article. Some professional reviewers are saying end of August and by that i would take it to mean August 31st. Its probably safer to say 1st of September but we could get suprised.

NDA expires the end of August for reviews and we should see a couple boards available at launch with the rest appearing in September.

Saw a new nForce 570 SLI board just come out by a brand called "Magic Pro". On sale on our favourite auction site as well for US$129.99 it seems....anyone heard of this brand?

Didnt know there was a NDA in effect for the 590s. Would explain the lack of info.

 

[sirplayalot]

Yeah it's really bad that these things havnt been released yet! I want one so bad! I hope Jetway/eVGA plan to release one, I loved their NF41 board.

Can you say if Asus will be among the first to release?

 

[captainjy]

This is what I am curious about as well. I am looking for either Asus or FoxConn.
BTW, thanks for the replies guys. I am dying to get a E6700 rig built! My wife isn't but I am!

 

[Skott]

ASUS does have a habit of getting a new mobo type out first so it wouldnt suprise me if they get one out first. Problem is though the mobo industry is becoming like the gaming industry these days. 'Get it out now fast and we'll fix it later' type mentality. Of course the whole PC industry seems to be doing this alot lately. I'd rather they take their time and get a good solid product out and get it out in quantity so I dont have to wait an extra month or two for supplies to get adequate or BIOS fixes to become availble for something that should have worked correctly out of the box.

 

[bob661]

I don't know Skott. I've found the new mobo's to be pretty damn stable. Check my sig. I'm STILL running that BIOS version and have never had a hiccup.

Who else would have it at launch?

If Asus makes a 590 board for intel like their Crossfire AM2 board I will buy it asap.
