Well , here we go, before I got this board, heard about some said it's awesome, some said it's POS. I then decide to get this and try it by myself.
So it is here @ OCX, let's see the real experience from me.:)

First of all, this is the appearance of the whole package. I don't know why Abit pick this as their slogan..just so courious.

CPU socket area , pretty clean and also the CPU vcore regulator used is different than most Asus or other manufactures.

alright, now, let's look at Ra socket area, pretty rigid and massive power here;)
very special position of placing the cpu atx 12v.

let's see the left part of the board, PCIEX area.
well the space is good, but well, only one PCI slot?...

how about the I/O area? That's pretty good for abit high end board that they usually place a debug led at I/O area. I like it. but the bad is the location of floppy socket placed.

for the aircooling users who plan to use huge heatsink like Tuniq Tower 120, I don't see any obtacles in clearance concern.

I am in the process of doing this by rasing fsb to 426 1:1..
 
wwow~
it seems not to be a pure mother board!!
it combain with the feeling of art!!
people know that most boards from abit are "born to oc"......
so......"OPB bigbig"(allow me to use Taiglish(Taiwanese-English))
such a perfect board !! don't waste it .......just oc it~
thanks for showing us so many tests!!
~THAT'S MORE THAN FANTASTIC~
 
Abit already gave you the SLI bridge...
they also want the users run SLI on it....
OMG....
 
I try......
MCH 1.85V --- maximum FSB 430 OK(SP2004 4hr pass)
MCH 2.0V ----- maximum FSB 440 OK (SP2004 4hr pass)
but FSB 445 SP2004 3min failed
My ram is D9(667), they can run DDR1000 in this MB.
My CPU is 6300, it can run FSB500 in DS3, so 975X can not stable run over FSB450.
 
I kinda hate P5WDG2 WS Pro...I want to switch to this mobo..~.~"
Asus for the first time has disappointed me...>.<"
