I agree, I like more the blue & black that MSI is doing lately, I must admit the MSI P55 GD80 looks hella sexy with that color scheme, but seems red & black is the color scheme of preference by enthusiasts...Quote:

All I see is red and black = more expensive for similar cabalilities as other boards.
But there's a market for everyone I guess.
How heavily was it influenced by the Classy?
Hehehe... if you look carefully next to the DIMM slots, there are four dip switches, presumably intended to disable individual cards for troubleshooting. Now where have we seen that before?:p:
Bah I don't care about the HS colours as they will come off for a water block anyway. But seriously guys who do you think influenced EVGA to begin with. That's right Asus with the ROG boards. This is just Asus taking some ideas from them. Nothing wrong with that at all as this board looks to be very well put together. I hope the price is under $450 though.

Well these kind of products are oriented for that segment I guess...Quote:

And LOL @ iROG chips, won't Apple sue them? :rofl:
I don't see why people still claiming that Asus took EVGA ideas, judging by that statement, we could say EVGA looked at Foxconn (bloodrage) for their classy :rolleyes:
Blutooth for that iphone oc app asus were talking about?
after the (good) luck i have had with R2G and M3G, this might be my next board. i have a softspot for beautiful Asus boards. :)
Wow, didn't even see that, good eye. Now if it had the LCD readout or bios LED in conjunction with the ROG connect. we might have something.Quote:

Nothing wrong with it as long as they take the good ones and add good ones of their own, not just copy/paste blindly. I'd be damn straight ignorant not to adopt progress just because competition came up with it first and like ASUS sometimes borrows an idea from other manufacturers (the 2oz copper layers from GB for example) so are others influenced by ideas that came from ASUS like their recent SATA6Gb solution now adopted by GB (P55-UD7) and MSI.Quote:

Well, if you look at what Andre has been doing with it so far then you would know it will compete with the Classified:

As far as it coping the Classified, who cares as long as we get better products.
Yeah, but to be honest that looks like a completely different product; this one is jam packed man! I wonder if an XL-ATX dual NF200 version like Andre's is still incoming?
Ugh! This looks nothing like the classic Rampage Extreme X48. :( I fell in love with that board from the very first time i saw it. Looking at this board's heatpipe i almost feel like throwing up...
Also the two molex connections will be a nightmare for cablemangement.
On the other hand, i'm sure it will be another fantastic performer like it's predecessors.
Hmmm...Classified barfed and this came out eh...interesting :rofl:
Question: is that only one GigE port? Like if you used this as an everyday overclocked system... you only have one GigE port (unless you spend $30 and use a PCIe slot for an Intel Gigabit card? I just wanted to check since I'm probably missing it somewhere since just about every $200+ X58 I've seen thus far has has dual GigE ports.
Well... then again maybe GigE is legacy now that there is SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0... oh wait...
though Andre claimed to be XL-ATX (both version non and with NF200's) like classy 762 but judging by pics looks like its going to be a normal E-ATX or i'm seen wrong?? I hope not :D!Quote:

I think that is the exact same size as my Maximus Extreme. So it will be an E-ATX then. Okay correction. My Maximus is 12" X 10.6". Same width pretty much but this RE3 is longer.Quote:

Andre tell us the release date !
