the ud5h is a nice board though,i see they have much newer realtek sound chip alc1150 besides other third party soundchips across giga boards

I bet intel wont make the same boo boo with b85/h87/81 ocing

Agreed GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK looks really good imho. Looking forward to putting this thing together. Just a shame we gotta wait another 4 weeks for the 4790K's..

Features of the mobo.

Dual Bios.

M.2 PCIE port for NGFF SSD.

Supports the current 4th gen Haswell processor and the upcoming Haswell Refresh, Devil’s Canyon, as well as the 5th Gen Broadwell processors.

10K Durable Black™ Soild Caps.

2x SATA Express ports, 4x SATA 6Gbps ports.

3x PCIE 3.0 x16 slots, 2x PCIE 3.0 x1 slots, and 2x legacy PCI slots.

Realtek ALC1150 115dB SNR HD Audio with built-in rear audio amplifier.

Power Failure Protection with Anti-Surge IC.

*Fap fap fap* :D
 
I would read up on that as 1 SATA Express looses you 2 Intel SATA 6 Gbit/s ports so having 2 SATA Express should loose you 4 so that leaves 2 and the other 2 must be 3rd party not Intel (not 100% sure for now though).

Roll on Z100 series lol

Asrock have horrible warranties, 1 year back to the retailer and the other year back to Holland. Cheap components and they still using that Fatal1ty moniker..he hasnt been relevant for years. Then looking at those boards..boy they look ugly.

Wasn't he originally linked with asus now scraping the barrel with asrock? How the mighty have fallen. :p
 
if the 4790k is 4ghz then intel will be back in business even more so I doubt anyone would even need to mention the word amd....sadly

lets hope the rumour is true
 
3.6GHZ so 4GHZ Turbo going by info (100mhz bump on current 4770k).

Or is some new rumor saying its 4GHz base clock?

LOL, my CPU is just about stable with major volts at 4.2GHZ (poor batch) so that is good to know, as I would be happy with 4.6GHZ which should be faster than my 2700k @5GHZ was.

I am all over it like a Redneck with his sister.

Weren't there all the same rumours before Haswell came out about it's high speeds and overclocking ability? Turned out all the reviewers got engineering samples that somehow seemed to be consistently faster and cooler.

I don't think the review samples were up to much overclocking wise?

But there was certainly some hype about improved overclocking, that's for sure.
 
Intel "Devil's Canyon" to Usher in 5 GHz-on-air Overclocking Era

These are the CPUs we do want roll up roll up.

Even as Intel launched its first Core "Haswell" Refresh socket LGA1150 chips, it left out two enthusiast-grade parts from the mix, the Core i7-4790K and the Core i5-4690K. Don't be misled into thinking that they're just multiplier-unlocked variants of the i7-4790 and i5-4690 launched today. There's a reason the two have be designated a separate internal codename altogether. Called "Devil's Canyon," the chips are made from high-performing dies binned out from the foundry, and placed on extra-durable packages with contact points that are designed for higher voltages, and a superior thermal interface material between the die and the integrated heatspreader (IHS).

Better packaging (mind the pun) isn't the only thing that sets the i7-4790K and the i5-4690K apart form their non-K counterparts, they're are also clocked higher. The i7-4790K ships with an out of the box clock speed of 4.00 GHz (the first Intel processor to do so), with a Turbo Boost frequency of 4.40 GHz. The Core i5-4670K, on the other hand, ships with a clock speed of 3.50 GHz, with Turbo Boost frequency of 3.90 GHz. The TDP of both chips is rated at 88 Watts, a wee bit higher than the 84 Watts the non-K chips are rated at. Expreview believes that the two could usher in a new era in CPU overclocking without breaking the bank over HEDT chips, and could be capable of running at clock speeds of 5.00 GHz, on air-cooling. Intel is expected to launch the two chips to crowds at Computex 2014, followed by a market release in mid-June.

I'll believe it when I see it, Sandy was hyped a fair ton for 5GHZ air stable overclocks too.

If Devils Canyon does 5GHZ stable not uncommonly, then yeah great, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't closer to 4.8.

If these chips work on Z87, I may buy one.
 
It will all boil, (no pun intended) down to what type of paste and ihs assembly job theyve done. Quite often ive seen people who have delidded the current chips and used bog standard thermal paste ala mx4 etc, only to find temps the same. Unless Intel are using something like liquid pro/ultra.
 
If this is proven true I may have to finally upgrade. My 2500k struggles above 4.2ghz so a jump to a 5ghz 4790k could be a decent upgrade. Was thinking I'd wait till the Haswell-E though.
