Anyone else using this as an excuse to have a new build or are you just changing out your existing motherboard?
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition: The Ultimate LGA2011 Motherboard
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
Yep I gave up the wait and about to start my signature project. I could have waited till next year probably but I had that itch...

Sold my old rampage 4 extreme for the black but ive got a x79 gigabyte board for now.
Total new build for me - just waiting on the BE.
Getting fed up of the 3 boxes of parts filling my back room now :/

mines is technically a half build lol changing mobo cpu and ram lol i wanted an x79 for a while now for virtualization aswell as ocing and gaming lol
Brand new build, modded out a 350d case to fit the board exta pci-e slots and all. The plan was to get the mod started and by the time that was done the board would be out.
Supposedly Q4 2014, meaning September onwards. Very much doubt we'd see it before Q1 2015 however and some slides have it as showing up in 2015.
Even not knowing this, considering Ivy-E launched this September, do you really think Haswell-E will show up in summer of 2014?
I see, some people said on another forum it was summer 2014. I guess maybe later end of 2014(september) or maybe early 2015. Looking at that slide seems to suggest this. Thanks for posting it.

New build, first one in a few years
Been waiting for an excuse to get an Corsair Obsidian 900D case and this is it.

Sort of using it as an excuse. Got no right to blow 4k+ on a new PC when the current one is really 'ok' (2600K, 16Gb RAM and 680GTX), but there's a few niggles, a family member needs an upgrade (even if they think they don't
) and I'm itching for 6 cores for photo processing.If the delay runs beyond the start of December though, I will be thinking very carefully if I just want to rebuild the current PCs, and save myself a heap of cash!.

I hope this now comes sooner rather than later, just sold main bits out of my sig, just ordered myself a new case too 
now where can that boat be???
Anyone know if the rive vrm block will fit??

Can't say for sure, but the choke and mosfet layout looks the same. I know the SB is a different layout but I wouldn't worry about it and just leave the passive block on it.
Edit: In fact the mounting holes appear different - the standard one has 3 holes, the black edition looks like it's only got 2 holes.

Looks like it yeah, it'll only start splitting lanes with a 3rd card.

Now the question is, do i play the lottery with OCUK for a 4930, which i never win 
or try for known good batches elsewhere???

Its not the batches that count with these cpu's its the PCB code.
You can get 10 cpus from same batch and they all perform different.
PCB code is what you need to look at.

I guess there is no guarantee you're able to grab a golden sample, even with the help of "batch theory". Individual chips are still vastly vary in the same batch.

Pcb code, thats a new one on me, where do you look for that??
