Sin duda que al leer el titulo pensaste en algo fumado. Cierto!, es una mobo Lucid, montada en un 890Fx (el Top). Lo bueno es que viene para micros AMD además podes mezclar VGAs ATI y Nvidia para crear versiones "hibridas" de SLI/CF. Viene super equipada con USB 3.0, 5 PCI-E, Doble Bios quizá me equivoque pero creo que es de las primeras ASUS en traerla doble. Es de la serie ROG y no se podría esperar menos.. por cierto trae Bluetooth. Me gustaria saber cuantas fases de poder trae pero según veo menos de 16 no trae. Lo cual lleva a que es necesario imperiosamente una buena PSU. Es una AM3, una mobo Gamer la mejor de todas.
We managed to get our hands on couple of pictures of Asus' upcoming 890FX based Crosshair IV Extreme motherboard. For now, the motherboard looks like an overclocker's wet dream and the fact that it features Lucid's Hydra chip, Nvidia and ATI combo on Asus motherboard will no longer be a myth.
As noted, the motherboard is based on AMD's 890FX chipset paired up with SB850 southbridge bringing native support for SATA 6Gbps. The USB 3.0 is also present thanks to that NEC controller chip that everyone likes. Other specifications include a total of five PCI-Express x16 slots, four DDR3 memory slots, single PCI slot, and a total of nine SATA ports.
As far as the features are concerned, the Crosshair IV Extreme will feature all the neat ones that we already seen on Asus' ROG branded motherboards. So you can expect dual BIOS option, ROG Connect and RC Bluetooth, on-board buttons for overclocking, reset and power, voltage measure points, as well as some new things like a switch for each of the PCI-Express x16 slots so you can simply turn the needed PCI-Expres slot on and off as you wish.
Bear in mind that this is only a first preview and we will surely see more details pretty soon as this one looks quite interesting.
