Hi guys, add me to the club.

Mine is running nicely at 4.7GHz at the moment with the cache still at 4GHz, didn't know I could up that too. Currently at 1.35 vcore in the bios.

ROG Maximus Hero Mobo
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz
980Ti
Samsung m.2 SSD 256gb

All water cooled.

Excuse the power supply lead colours, my AX1200i stopped working and is being RMA'd at the moment, back to my trusty ST1000.

Nice setup dude :) The Hero VIII sure looks the part :D

What did you upgrade from btw?

Z77 UD5 with a 3770k and a 7970...

This is a nice little upgrade, should see me through the next 3 years or so!

Nice upgrade, should last you quite a while for sure :)

I also noticed the M.2 slot on the Maximus Hero VIII (and other Z170 mobo's) have a very long M.2 slot, which supports 2242/2260/2280/22110 sizes.

I can only assume Samsung and the like will be releasing new much higher capacity M.2 SSD's in the future - most likely using the 3D V-NAND etc.

The older Z97 platform seems to only have 2260/2280 size M.2 slots available - so I assume Asus know something big is coming?
 
Waiting 8 days still no stock anywhere except Asus cheapest on Matx motherboards for Skylake starting get on my nerves got everything else just the good board I need.
Looks like end of the this month what a joke.

Seems the demand was quite high, since everywhere sold out at least once already.

Stock should be stable in September, apparently.
 
I'll join as soon as I get my processor (international delivery ;) ), hopefully sometime next week.

Went for gigabyte (gaming7), was hesitating though between ROG Hero

Beautiful setup. mobo looks amazing
 
I'm still non the wiser if this would be worth the upgrade from a 3570k for a gaming PC.

At the moment, my 3570k at stick is fast enough to drive the Witcher 3 and get a nice experience with my 970.

However other games such as Arkham Knight and the new MGS, all 'advertise' i7's.

Either just marketing or legitimate..... :o
 
Will they start making cases that support things like voice or thumbprint activation, wireless charging etc?

Do the mobos have headers for this stuff or is it laptops only?
