Wonder if the RAM slots are placed like that to reduce latency. Impressive looking board.

I suspect the way the ram slots are, some coolers might not fit!

Thats a very good point heh

It seems very sparse, almost as if it's not the final production model.

^^^ Agree with the above very empty and looks very cheap when compared to the 1366 platform, only 6 sata ports on a top end board the mid range X58 UD5 from gigabyte has 10 ???

Im also quite interested in the intel branded cpu cooler that is on it! perhaps its the official cooler that you get with the sandybridge-E processor ?

Yeah it is. But like someone said in the thread about the cooler how would Intel get out of waterdamage xD.

I do actually like the placements of the RAM slots.

I like the ram slots to, but looking at it, if there was going to be an air cooler for this it would be tall and skinny. i dont think some of the big fat ones will fit. Even on my motherboard i struggle to put low profile ram into my first slot and my cooler isnt that big. id be ****ed if i got this motherboard and i needed to put 1 ram stick in each far away slot.
