Yay! it has finally arrived. Might be the first one in Ireland (we're a backwater for new kit)
Have a Noiseblocker 40mm fan to be installed and a Samsung SM950 Pro on the way. I have a Mayhems Blitz kit to flush out the loop and deep clean the rads. Going to ditch the RAID Card, run with the Samsung M.2 and Toshiba Hdd for faster boots and basically simplify my storage setup to 500GB for OS/Apps and 4TB for longer term storage.

seems nice, right? Im interesting, if OC will be the same or better than older R2.0

That feeling that you're helpless when you miss a ps/2 port with an exclusive bus for your geriatric A/T mec keyboards. Nice board otherwise!

@AlleyViper, i'm busy searching my attic for an elusive ps/2 to usb adapter for my Steelseries 7G
@FlanK3r, the R2.0 seems to have a heavier circuit board, the R3.0 looks lighter. The 40mm fan mount for the VRM's is stupid, you can't feed the fan header through the gap available. Plenty of fan mounts, lose the PCI slot for an M.2 slot, lose PS/2 and get USB3.1 and Type C at that. I'd favour an Intel NIC over a Realtek anyday and they have optimised the sound setup (will have to wait and see on that one). Overall a good compromise features wise.
Update 12:00
So up and running. - Win 10 has decided to inactivate itself. Initialisation of the LSI card is way faster. Could not find an adapter for my SteelSeries PS/2 keyboard and reverted to an Apex model only to find that it does not startup until have way through Windows boot. Bios is nice and clean. Default lighting scheme for the board is a pulsing Orange (slow pulse - maybe 15 seconds between cycles) - So far so good.

OT: Fortunately there's no problem with that keyboard except for the hassle, it included a passive ps2 to usb adapter because the controller is modern and usb|ps/2 compatible. Only truly native A/T and PS/2 vintage keyboards (probably as the one drmrlordx pointed) will require an active adapter such as the "Blue Cube" for usb connection.
I wonder if these newer boards can go around the 18.5x multiplier limit to keep CnQ working on PHIIs. Humm, just noticed they dropped the PCI-E 3.0 gimmick in this newer revision.

Its being a bit of a dog at the moment. Can't get the 8320E above 4Ghz... Some silly setting no doubt but I haven't found it yet. Have installed the Samsung 950 Pro NVMe, screenshot below, again a bit underwhelming but then again maybe not for PCIEv2.

The 8320 suffers from a high MP problem. If you OC towards high MP, it will not even make Windows at all, voltage increasement does'nt solve a thing.
Combine HTT & higher MP for 'better' oc'ing.
This is nice and stable but memory has a bit of room for improvement. I am also thermally limited currently as when I stripped down my loop for a refresh I noticed that one of the pumps had blown up so I am only running the 240mm rad until the replacement DDC arrives. This showed up when I was tuning Metro 2033 and left the bench running for an hour, CPU was up to 60C and throttling.
The VRM temps on this board are quite capable of burning your fingers, active cooling while not totally necessary is probably recommended.
Aura lighting can be turned off at Bios or via a supplied Asus program.
I'm thinking of bringing the LSI Raid card back with the 4 Samsung SSDs and use for my Steam library and Adobe Lightroom editing. Just have to see how much it delays boot times, I'm quite happy with a sub 10sec power on to desktop

Wow, VRM temps are that bad? On a $200+ board? How much vcore are you giving that 8320e to get 4.8 GHz?
yes, what vcore and vcpunb?

1.52 cpu and 1.25 nb since dialled back to 1.43 and 1.2 - I have installed a ram cooler to the VRM section of the board. Looks like it is designed to have active airflow from a standard CPU cooler flowing over it because it cooled down to a stable sub 40C once it had a bit of air running over it.
The Samsung 950 pro is another hot little bugger, while in a tuning session with multiple reboots it will quickly head up to 50+C.
Learning lots and having fun

Any new motherboard i always 'slightly' tighten the VRM cooler a little more. This improves pressure thus cooling contact between pads, vrm & heatsink.
Does anyone know what a vishera pulls in Amps on 4.8GHz at full load?
So is it stable running 4.8 GHz @ 1.43v vcore? If so, good job! That's pretty good.
Stable enough for day to day running. Excel, Outlook, raw (Pentax PEF type) processing in Lightroom and 3 hrs in Elite Dangerous, 90 mins or so in F1 2016 and a couple of hours in Dirt Rally without any issues. Throw Prime at it and it will freeze. So stable enough but not 100% for sure. I have an older 8350 in the attic somewhere, will dig that out during the week and see how it goes. Used to do 4.86 on the R2.0 but vcore was definitely 1.5x

Sounds like you could get it Prime stable with 1.44v or so. Still very good.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
