Yeah, Tri-SLi, Xi-Fi, the diagnostic LCD, and that smexy coloring scheme

Not to mention the ability to test a bios before flashing it, a sort of fully featured CPU-Z built into bios, the digital PWMs, the ability to disable LEDs at will, OS independant power saving and a solid layout.

I'm particularly interested in the PWM, looks really interesting. AFAIK the only current board that has one is the EVGA 790i SLI board.

Quite wrong. Abit (before they went down) used digital PWM as well.

I see, you don't hear a lot about Abit boards so I didn't know. Thanks for the info

I thought there's plenty of motherboard using digital PWM.

Yeah, especially DFI. There are quite a number of their motherboards using digital PWM.

I wonder when Asus and Gigabyte are going to follow suit.

Oh really? I guess EVGA's just better at promoting/marketing their stuff then

I know Abit didn't stick to digital PWM later on. Don't know why though.
