CrossLinx is basically a PCI-E 2.0 switch that automatically splits the PCI-E 2.0 x16 lanes into 2 when you're running triple card CrossFireX. |
Quote:
The CrossLinx will allow 3 graphics cards to run at PCI-e x16/ x8/ x8. When only 2 graphics cards are used, both will operate at PCI-E 2.0 x16. On the regular X38 boards, you only get 2 PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots. In short, you get the opportunity to run triple-crossfire without choking the graphics cards. |
| iirc, actually it splits the 2nd 16x into 8x8 with the 3rd slot. |

| There is no Maximus Extreme SE. The Maximus Formula has a SE and a regular version, but the Extreme comes with all of the goodies by default. Link |
| fuwell shows non se version |
| Nice review, but is the non-SE Formula available in sg? All the shops pricelists all list only SE. |
| the heatsink look nicer then the ddr2 version of maximus. |

| You mean there is another Maximus Extreme out there? I thought it's the Maximus Formula which has 2 editons: the SE and no SE. The SE contains a water block while the non SE does not. And what's with the CrossLinx when the x38 already supports both PCIe x16 at full speed? |

| Who is the brother? |
| the main diff between this board and its brother the normal edition is the chipset heatsink that is a water block? |
| There's only one problem with this board: Nothing's copper. Okay, I lied, the waterblock is copper. Everything else is colored aluminum. |
The firewire port is chipped.  |
