Oooh, X99 is in the list now.

Dirty teases :eek:

Hang fire if you plan to build a system with a new water-cooling loop; new EK blocks soon.

I'm tempted to replace my Supreme. It's been with me a while probably needs a good clean.

More ASRock boards, Extreme4 and Extreme6

EDIT: Already been linked, sorry! Nice to see blue + black being used though again, something different!

What's with that half-arsed I/O cover and VRM heatsink combo?

wazza300 · 22 Aug 2014 at 23:12

that's to save weight

vsg28 · 23 Aug 2014 at 00:23

Never been convinced by AsRock personally, I had a z97 mini ITX board 2 weeks ago for all of 3 days before I returned it. Terrible BIOS lol.

wazza300 · 23 Aug 2014 at 00:31

ive yet to use one,same for msi,but ive seen many horror stories

looks nice though

I had a Asrock once, dark days they were. Never again.

JJ is going around with his trunk o'boards meeting up YouTubers like Logan and so forth. Come Aug 29, there will likely be an avalanche of Asus x99 videos.

You can see the box for the x99 WS and Deluxe in there. He also mentioned other non motherboard items coming up soon (Mice, Strix "880" etc).

By lack of heatpipe and single cpu power, I assume this is FTW, right?
I can't wait for mATX

I have seen one pic and I am in love, getting it for my new project.

By the way, I think that heatsinks on z87/z97 evga boards looked much better.

I had one. It got stuck in boot loops, black screened direct from the BIOS when overclocking even in sensible boundaries, it hung on random error codes relating to perfectly fine hardware, and it caught fire.

Fantastic bit of kit.

Replaced it with this Asus. It hasn't missed a beat.

and agreed! I am still considering the Classified but pretty disappointed with the looks.

I hear bad things about recent EVGA boards.

Hi guys Is it worth me upgrading to the x99 purely for gaming.? As at the moment I'm using the 4790k and z97 motherboard.
I'm liking the fact that it's DDR4 but in reality will i notice any improvements in fps
