why only 3 dimm slots?
This board does look badass. I like the little round thingys with the little black squares and rectangles near the big square thingy. Looks like a little city where electrons live and work and play fps.

Why not? It's been talked about several times now...
- shorter traces, better signal quality
- more room -> better layout, better cooling
- optimized for best ram clocking capabilities
Who needs 6 slots on an enthusiast board? IMO 6GB using 2GB sticks is enough, and you've got the option on upgrading to 3 4GB sticks later on.
Hmm....I wonder whether my 775 Prometeia Mach 2 mount can fit on this board?? Anyone tried it?
I think a custom mount is the way to go, as IMHO caps around the socket ain't positioned equally and the socket itself is larger. I will mount mine using plexi and threaded rods, springs and nuts.
havent tried a mach 2 myself
but the board does have both 775 & I7 mounting holes

Seems like they are ready to receive the Blood Rage and they have it listed, at this time, as $299!
At least you have prices. In Greece we still dream of it :P

I have mine and have almost finished my build. Speaking of 775 mounting, the holes work but be warned that if your cooler (like my Swiftech Apogee GTX) has a backplate, the old backplate won't fit the new 1366 mobo's as they have a socket backplate already there. Your new backplate must have a hole in the middle like this (I found this out the hard way and had to order the 1366 backplate):

Hmm... you could've disassembled the socket. That would have definitely worked out well.
Sayaa,
The thing about the waterblock that is included is this.
First off people are wanting removable barbs so with G1/4 threading so that they can put whatever barbs they want in there, use their compression fittings and what not.
This is better for everyone so that they can whatever barbs they want so they can use whatever tubing they want.
Being an enthusiast board that includes watercooling parts you would have thought that this would have been a priority. Save you on cost of the block also seeing as the barbs that are on there now wouldn't be so you'd have less materials.
As far as the Bronze top, how is that going to effect corrosion. With like properties or whatnot, it's still not copper.

HAHA, no thanks! I think I'll wait the 1 day and get the right backplate!

I agree most of enthusiasts would like to have exchangable barbs. I think that's probably a thing to consider for fuure products.
According to your doubts about the brass top - it's nothing to worry about as it's an alloy of copper and zinc. If it was to corrode, the copper would corrode as well... for example if you'd put some sodium chloride into your cooling fluid, what's again needing some porous metal surface, oxigen and another corrosive metal as aluminum, iirc.
So I conclude - absolutely nothing to worry about.
I could have been so easy! (and cheap)
That would mean to use the 775 mounting holes you would need a custom backplate for each cooler mounting? They aren't fully interchangeable because they imply different spring preloads. Don't the cooler manufacturers only make back plates for 1366 spacing that clear the obstacle?

I got the Swiftech 1366 backplate for the GTX and GTZ waterblock today and it worked perfectly!

Using the 1366 holes, correct? Isn't also correct the only way to use the 775 holes is without a backplate? And that no one here would ever mount a CPU heat sink without a backplate?
That is exactly true, the 775 holes are only for coolers without a backplate.

Or for all types if you dismantle the original metal socket/backplate.
Phasechangers (like me) have to do that anyway, as it's too hard to insulate well. The CPU is being hold down by your waterblock/aircooler or you could probably tape the i7's edges to the remaining socket (sticky tape, maybe some tesa power strips, if anyone here knows what I mean).
What your saying, other than the stray capacitor, the Blood Rage is really setup for LN2 testing. Except for that one capacitor, which an LN2 or Phase Change guy would change anyway, the analog pwm allows you more freedom for modifications and overvolting, you will probably run 3x1gb memory, never more. The NB is preconfigured for LN2. It is perfect...or at least best in class. The 775 holes let you use your phase change or LN2 stuff, which is low volume and slow to change.
However, for us workaday watercooled overclockers...
