I think he means were the big black cover is on the left side of the board were the big Rampage logo is. Tbh id rather remove this and put a vrm/mosfet block on it.

There's mosfets on the underside of the board, directly underneath the ones on the topside. If you stick a waterblock on the ones on the topside, it'll also help cool the ones underneath to a lesser degree.

If its the end of the month instead of the 18th don't you think ocers shoot them selfs in the foot allowing pre orders nearly 3 months early most people who have bought this mobo need it and many cant and aren't willing to by a cheap mobo to use cause it may not be compataible without a bios update with the 4820k and so on
whats the difference between this and
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-490-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2174
and without the bios update for the new cpus, will this not work at all?
im trying to decide if im waiting for the colour of black or something so substantial it will actually make a feasible difference

Look at the overclock3d.net by Tom Logan, its on here on the last page. There are quite a few differences apart from the colour.
ive read it, and i cant see if anything in it that will mean i will see a noticeable gaming improvement if i get this board over my existing rive.
just trying to get some confirmation from more knowledgable people that its not a worthwhile purchase for me.

If i had an R4E i wouldnt bother. The only reason why im considering it is because my motherboard died otherwise i woulda waited for Haswell-E.

Have they given any reason?
Oh I see, thank you. I will be putting a waterblock over the VRMs, yes, see how that does. I'm now curious to measure the temp on the ones underneath actually, assuming this board ever ships
(going on 3 months pre-order now from ocuk..)

Only stated they had information from asus Friday passed saying it would be 2 or 3 weeks

Its worse than waiting on a newborn this hardware upgrade milarky
Associate
yeah even the rog forums people are getting miffed
Man of Honour
Even rumours of quality control issues. I can see a certain forum exploding if they don't ship tomorrow.
Associate
Its funny they bang on about how its a record breaker and stuff like that but cant actually get it out to the public, if it takes to long ill have to cancel my order also, this doesn't do OCER's any favour as they have to deal with a lot more work
Associate
A few people on the other forum are saying they have been charged by new egg and its in the process of shipping so deffo going to be a while for us to get it by the time it ships across the ocean
