The mobo includes extras like useless chipset fan, zip ties, SLI/Xfire connectors, and more important things like a X-Fi SupremeFX audio card and, for those who are into overclocking, an external LCD POST display.
 
Now, ive e-mailed DS this question, and havent gotten a response yet ... Broken%20Heart
 
So, ill post it here for all the mods to see + those who visit these forums:
 
Are those extras includes w/ the mobo? If so, why doesnt it state it anywhere on the config page?
 
 
With love,
Nomak.

Sheesh, it never fails; I don't even have my system yet and it's already been usurped by bigger/better for the same money...  gotta stop looking at what's new Wink
 
Ahhhh, I don't care: I bought enough for the next couple of years (I hope)

there is not a huge difference between what you got and whats new right now, so you got nothing to be sad about

Yes, we do include everything with the motherboard packaging.

I would recommend not sending an email to [email protected], we already removed that address from our contact page. I would recommend sending a message directly to our staff (http://www.digitalstormonline.com/sendmessage.asp).
 
Warm Regards,
Alex

Sad? Nah! It's to be expected. I just figured I'd at least get the box before the next bump up... lol

steve can i ask why you decided to go with the 9770 instead of OCing say a q9650 to the same plus better. for cheaper ?


I'm assuming that was directed at me....

I knew the 9650 was cheaper and virtually the same buuuuuttttt...

I worked for Bear Stearns and had a *crappy* year. Then we hung by a thread for a couple of months until JP Morgan picked us up. Then the market crashed. We got hit from all sides. I just needed to give myself a present. Usually, the price/performance sweet spot for me is 2-3 levels back from the bleeding edge, but this time, I promised myself no compromises, not even a little. I had heard that the 9770 could be pushed further. True? Dunno. Just like I don't actually need 2 raptor drives or 8gb ram at this point. I just wanted it.

At home, we have an agreement. Any time we buy something and a new version comes out after the purchase but before the delivery, it's a gimme to just buy the new one, even if the old one can't be returned. Can't quite justify it with this rig though

I only know a few Dell users who wish they'd bought more power, but I can clearly see your point.

The "x" in the chip's names for example QX9770 specifies that its an extreme chip, and extreme chips have an unlocked multiplier, which could help achieve higher OC speeds

Well, DS is replacing the mobo today, and I asked them to max out the OC.

I guess I'll find out just how extreme it will be when I get it. Details and pix forthcoming upon arrival.
