Motherboard design hasn’t changed that much in the 15 or so years I’ve been building computers. Sure, there’ve been a few tweaks here and there—out with AGP and in with PCI Express, out with LGA775 and here’s LGA1366 coming now—but the same basic ideas have always applied. With the new Xtreme Design series it announced on Monday, Asus wants you to believe those days are coming to an end. We’re not so sure, although if the series lives up to its promises there could be some noticeable gains for serious system builders and overclockers.
The changes start with the introduction of the Stack Cool3+ cooling system. This copper-heatpipe system builds on the unique Stack Cool2 mechanism used on the P5E64 WS, using an enhanced, eight-layer printed circuit board (PCB) instead of that system’s six-layer version. Asus says that the extra layers improve regulation of the motherboard’s operating temperature and can increase heat dissipation by up to 17 percent.
Also new is the Xtreme phase feature, which stabilizes and optimizes power delivery based on the current processing load, and a Turbo V software interface that works with a processor on the mainboard to let you overclock by dynamically adjusting clock speed and other variables. Asus says this feature alone can increase processing throughput by up to 51 percent. You may be able to achieve another performance boost with the new Turbo Key, which lets you automatically configure your system for different performance profiles with a single click.
And yet another claim: Xtreme Design series boards achieve an unusually low Electrostatic Discharge by way of exclusive antistatic chip, circuit, and I/O shield designs that mitigate negative health impact and potential damage to components. Asus brags that the Xtreme Design series boards pass “stringent” EMI testing that’s 30 percent more rigorous than standard industry benchmarks.
Maybe it’s just a case of first-impression-itis, but most of these new features don’t seem like particular game-changers. True, everyone is concerned with safety, for themselves and their components, and in tough economic times, maximizing energy usage and squeezing every drop out of every CPU cycle is nice. But overclocking profiles on their own aren’t big news, and some of these performance gains demand testing before we believe them.
That, however, will have to wait. We couldn’t convince Asus to tell us when any of these motherboards would be released. The best we could get out of the company was that the P6TD Deluxe—a revamped version of the P6T Deluxe, one of the earliest (and best-selling) Core i7–ready boards—and the upcoming M4A785TD-M EVO, based on AMD’s 785G chipset and utilizing “some” Xtreme Design technology, will be available at roughly the same time. If we had to guess, we’d say within the next few months, but that’s purely speculation based on the fact that we can’t imagine this much information being made public about a motherboard series that wasn’t ready to hit fairly soon.
At least Asus supplied us with some specs for the P6TD Deluxe. They include:
Form Factor: | ATX |
Socket: | LGA1366 |
Chipset: | Intel X58 |
System Bus: | Up to 6,400 MT per second |

Multi-GPU Support: | SLI/ATI CrossFireX |
Storage: | 6 SATA 3Gb/s ports; 1 eSATA port; 1 UltraDMA 133/100/66 |

Asus Rog Maximus Formula Motherboard
ASUS ROG Maximus II Formula Motherboard for Gaming Enthusiastic
Asus released the new ASUS ROG Maximus II Formula series motherboard. Equipped with an Intel P45 chipset and supporting DDRII memory.
[/raw] ASUS ROG Maximus II Formula Features
A Taiwanese forum has got their hands of several high-quality pictures of the upcoming Asus Republic of Gamers, Maximus Formula motherboard. It’s got a massive heatsink covering the chipset and it’s connected to another heatsink that vents the heat out of the case via the I/O panel. There are several heatpipes connecting the various heatsinks on the motherboard, but it looks like Asus has gone for a traditional PWM design instead of using a digital PWM design like DFI, which takes up a lot less space on the board.
Adi Ad2000b Specs List
The board itself doesn’t look that amazing though, it’s got two x16 PCI Express 2.0 slots, two x1 slots and a third black slot for Asus audio riser card, as well as two PCI slots. Around the back are six USB ports, a FireWire port, a PS/2 port for a keyboard, two Ethernet connectors and S/PDIF out connectors, but no eSATA which is a real bummer.
