We got our grubby little mitts on a handful of ASUS P7H570-V EVO motherboard pictures so we thought we would share. I don’t have any information other than what can be seen here in the pictures but I’ll update this post with specs as they come in.


*Update* According to our sources, the socket LGA1156 motheroard comes equipped with USB3.0 and SATA6G via ASUS' proprietary implementation using the PLX bridge to ensure bandwidth. Additionally, as a hardware exclusive feature, the company has incorporated GPU NOS hardware IC (first implemented on ASUS' 785G boards).

Boy are mobo makers getting way to cutesy with heatsink designs. I wonder if function is even considered anymore?
 
Maybe I'm late to the party..........what CPU is this for???? i5,i7?????:eek:

Probably not. The H57 chipset is like P55, basically an overglorified and overpriced Southbridge.

EDIT: For magoo (who posted as I posted), this is socket 1156 using the H57 chipset (as evidenced by the product name). It will allow Core i3/i5/i7 including CPUs with integrated video that are coming out Q1.

It's for the upcoming s1156 chips (i5/i7 with on-package graphics). Still unclear whether existing i5/i7 will work, just without the display ports being active.

It seems to me that motherboard heatsinks have always been poorly implemented. They have always been held on by junky plastic clips or a couple weakling screws if you were lucky. No pressure is ever applied like it is on a CPU and good quality thermal goo is never used either. You could have a great heatsink on that board but because it is so crappily mounted it does not work as well as it could.

This is the board I use, see those sissy little plastic push pins with tiny springs, that is not what I would call a good mounting technique. This Asus board and just about every other board out there uses the same half assed plastic push pin design.

Maybe I'm a bit behind the tech curve, but is this board a dual channel instead of triple channel for more mainstream/business applications?

Regarding the chipset cooling mounting techniques, I agree that the motherboard manufacturers do a poor job on mounting them. I always put down new thermal goo and remount the heatsinks with bolts and nuts if possible.

So it uses a PLX chip to connect the SATA 6Gbps controller to the chipset just like the P7P55D Premium board. Can't see whether or not they're using the Marvell 88SE9123 or 88SE9128, but I'm betting on the former :(.

It's dual-channel because it is an LGA1156 motherboard, and that socket and the CPUs that are made for it only support dual-channel memory. For triple-channel memory, you would need an LGA1366 motherboard and CPU.
 
If that's the board I'm thinking of, it might be my next motherboard. I've been awaiting the release of this board for a few weeks. I love that it's loaded with 8 SATA ports and lots more. Hopefully [H] does a review. :)

When the manufacturers and Intel finally clue us in on just WTH is causing the burnt pins on the S1156 with ppl overclocking, whether it's clamping mechanism flaw or too few pins for power, I'll consider this as a candidate for new rig. Otherwise, I guess the only other choice is paying more and go with i7/S1366.

+1 I can actually rock the heatsinks back and forth on my P6T6 WS Revolution. Not what I was expecting...
 
I'd love to have USB 3.0 for something like an external USB harddrive.

HOWEVER, when are there going to be actually any USB 3.0 devices!! I've been hearing its going to be A WHILE before the actual devices are out.
