I wont post the Source as it conflicts with the e-tailors on the Hexus forums, infact the e-tailor stocking it currently removes Hexus links from their forums so like for like they wont be sourced from me here.



Abit IX48-GT3 Hotfoot Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

With Intel®’s brand new enthusiast X48 chipset, you are prepared for the latest 45nm Core™ 2 Extreme/Quad/Duo processors with up to 1333 FSB and faster. A total of 8GB DDR3 1333 MHz system memory offers maximum expandability for this latest memory standard. Dual X16 PCI-E 2.0 offers highest bandwidth for hard core gaming. With the new Smart-Slave technology the power switch frequency can effectively be quadrupled over conventional PWMs. Digital PWMs offer most precise and consistent voltage supply for reduced power consumption, less heat and increased components' life. New Generation Digital PWMs provide maximum accuracy for the best computing experience ever, noise interferences are avoided and energy efficiency is highly increased by realizing ideal resistance ratings (low RDS) during charge-discharge power switching. New generation PCI-E X16 2.0 2 x PCI-E X16 slots support latest dual graphics CrossFireX™ technologies, providing the ultimate visual experience.

Support up to a maximum of 8 GB of dual channel DDR3 1333 memory in 4 DIMM slots. DDR3 saves up to 25% power consumption while scalability and performance are tremendously enhanced. New cooling technology offering the most comprehensive full-board cooling scheme for all mission-critical components. Copper base and dual-heatpipe combo solution make the best cooling equipment. A special 3-pin HDMI audio header provides High Definition S/PDIF audio to be connected with HDMI ready VGA cards, offering crisp HD multi-channel surround sound. These advanced capacitors consist of conductive polymer and therefore offer a vast range of advantages such as higher temperature tolerance, higher ripple current and improved frequency characteristics over conventional electrolytic capacitors. The onboard on/off and reset switches allow for testing your system before installing into your case. Clear the CMOS directly from the back panel, using abit’s innovative new EZ button. If you are pushing your hardware to the extreme and experiment with risky settings, you now have an easy and convenient way to go back to safe ground.

it's about time to be honest

it's been silence on abits front for weeks

we all know who that is then

Active chipset cooling?

Active chipset cooling?

...and no heatpipe. I'm a fan personally...I'd rather have my PWM heat separate from my NB.
