so no sign of the Asus yet?

There's a white Asus (Sabranco?) floating around, as is the R5E. Also the Deluxe.

I thought the white was Z97, the Deluxe appeared some posts back but not seen a R5E posted anywhere?

TTL has one, he teased it in his G.Skill DDR4 writeup: http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/memory/gskill_ripjaws_iv_3000mhz_ddr4_memory/1

Not like that was a surprise, a lot of guys have the R5E for beta testing/benching. The white one for z97 never made it to retail just yet, but I did hear guys say an x99 version was done.

I've seen a white'ish X99.

vsg28 · 20 Aug 2014 at 18:15

Was the PCB also white'ish?

stulid · 20 Aug 2014 at 18:18

It was more black PCB with some white stuff around the outside.

vsg28 · 20 Aug 2014 at 18:44

So more like a white armour on black PCB? I am ready for the million new motherboard videos from JJ on various YouTube channels now.

We have white version in retail complete yes. It looks dam good actually. Not tested though.

I have R5E two boards one for testing LN2 one for air.

Can you post an image of the white one yet?

8 Pack · 20 Aug 2014 at 21:58

No man we cant. They are all NDA to us. We are using to develop systems for launch.

colinmcr · 20 Aug 2014 at 22:06

No worries man, I'm just gonna continue to sit on my hands until NDA's lift.

Will you be reviewing some hardware / OC's for us to see once you can post on the subject?

Silent_Scone · 20 Aug 2014 at 22:12

Will existing 2011 blocks / coolers fit these?

8 Pack · 20 Aug 2014 at 22:13

Yeah sure. benched some LN2 already was doing basic air today.

2011 coolers fit fine yes.

FlanK3r · 20 Aug 2014 at 22:20

Yeah, I tested today with cheap Rajintek, lol

Bart_Hunt · 20 Aug 2014 at 22:21

That's good to hear.
I was afraid my EK block won't fit - and I didn't save a penny on that one.
I can't wait to see the white board soon.

DarkFulgore · 21 Aug 2014 at 02:29

The all black MSI and EVGA Classified look good, but eager to get the R5E and a closer look at the White board.

Looking forward to getting more details. I will be doing reviews on all of it as well. So should be fun.
