I might go for a 5820k/asrock extreme 4 x99 instead of z97 if that comes out at under 500. I think it is doable of retailers dont add early adopter tax

DDR4 will be the killer

Can anyone guess the price of the Asus deluxe going by previous releases
I'm hoping £300 for the 5820k plus £199 for ddr4

Sure it will perform amazing but everything south of ram slots and IO shield should be black, way too much red, prefer the deluxe version so far.

Going by the local vendor pricing, the x99 Deluxe is about $50 more than the x79 version. So maybe £35 higher than whatever it is there for the x79 Deluxe?

Mreh I knew it would come in at around 300. X79-Deluxe is an awesome board, I really hope the new one lives up to it.

Tempted by it also and some gskill 2666 ram as the volts are still 1.2v so could possibly clock well as the 3000 kit is at 1.35v, ah what to do, decisions, decisions

Quad sli will hide most of it

Any sign of the Sabertooth?

Ive seen external rad boxes, could always knock up a box for a few psu's.

Asus ROG boards of late do seem a bit ott with red, new Z97 range are the same. Bit bland looking compared to the previous models.

Nickolp1974 · 27 Aug 2014 at 22:30

What i'd like to of seen is something similar to the black edition but with red led traces around the 4 main ram slots and the X16 pci-e slots, like what they did with the audio, and the intel ports should have a white glow or something as there all the same dam colour!! And i don't want to be looking in the manual all the time!!

I want a ROG Tron-esque MB

Performance is really all that should matter but aesthetically the Rampage V is a disappointment.

I see a lot of void warranties and spray painted motherboards soon
