Is there any news on release date for this board?? I'm pretty sure that this board will be epic for the OC enthusiasts.

No date is confirmed yet. I spoke with GB taiwan about this only yesterday. I am keen to try it also.

Cheers Ian, do you know if there bringing an LN2 version out with all the bells and whistles!?

Hope so, looking to get into Extreme benching some more and am wanting a Skylake build . Love the Giga boards, been using a Z77 UD5H 3770K for my first Phase runs

Not keen on the orange but love the design it looks beastly.

Any idea if that works on the fly stuart? That would be neat if it does.

In the 2nd video (using a G1 board) it does change on the fly.

Cheers, its a cool feature if it does. Now when is it available?

That may turn out to be a great board. Would have got the Z97 version had Skylake not been released so soon.

However I think the price may be fairly steep if it's the case to include a PLX chip. I myself could not wait to find out so went with the Z170 Gaming 3 instead. You loose 1 m.2 slot and 1 pci slot.

Another interesting board is the z170 ud5 'th' (thunderbolt). Which has just recently been announced with specs. Which has the full TB 3 / USB Type C 'alt mode', HDMI 2.0 and all that stuff on it.
