ur...

its got a black PCB

and two ethernet ports

and some form of auto OC

Apart from that I can't say much else - I reserve judgement till I see a full review or three running through how it performs with a SB CPU and how it overclocks.
 
well we already know only the K's will be able to be overclocked significantly.
And it overclocks like a beast :D
 
components look pretty standard, nothing impressive or innovative, dual heatpipe for show, no extra SATA 6gbps ports like Asus and MSI are offering & what's with the legacy IDE support?

oh & why use plastic push pins on the SB when it's obvious from the main heatsinks that foxconn know they are not ideal? Still better than Asus & Gigabyte examples admittedly, which are fully pushpin, but not MSI, which are fully screw fitted.

decent colour scheme although i'm not sure if it's the pictures but the red doesn't seem very vibrant. Looks a bit dull as opposed to Rampage red. The older Foxconn QF boards did look more vibrant so maybe it's just the pics.

Do you know if it's UEFI or whether they went the Gigabyte route & pleaded poverty to Intel so that they could stick to the flawed legacy BIOS?

I wouldn't say Legacy is flawed mate, however if it doesn't have UEFI it will be at a disadvantage and have one less feature bullet point against its name.
 
UEFI is there :)
I think the main thing to look at is going to be its price point to performance, especially its oc'ing performance.

you know what I mean, they are introducing UEFI because legacy reached the end of its viable lifespan some time ago but only now have we started to come up against more visable problems (i.e. 3GB boot drives)

It's nothing to do with the interface being flawed, it's much more basic than that

do we know if it's 8x/8x SLI certified? I know that some of the Asus & Gigabyte boards can't get SLI certification because the second PCI-Express port is only 4x
