Dig the color scheme, reminds me of evga's old scheme.

says it has the creative xi-fi on board..is this comparable to the add-in sound card in quality or is it just like the one found in asus rog board?
Thanks.Originally Posted by Lsdmeasap
The board colour and design choices look... well... poor.
The hardware seems decent, though. Killer NIC could be a nice free addition, same for Creative chip. And it saves us PCI-E slots for video cards.
Why is it not XL-ATX? Totally looks that way on the pictures.
Guess it can be a nice board once stripped off these ugly heatsinks. Too late into X58 market, though. Too late.

All three boards are previewed at http://www.techpowerup.com/ aswell
Killer scored big again with NIC integration. as well as XFI support. To be honest I like these, they look pretty good.
CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K @ 4.5GHz
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Extreme
RAM: 32GB (8x4GB) Patriot Viper EX @ 1866mhz
GPU: EVGA GTX Titan (1087Boost/6700Mem)
Physx: Evga GTX 560 2GB
Sound: Creative XFI Titanium
Case: Modded 700D
PSU: Corsair 1200AX (Fully Sleeved)
Storage: 2x120GB OCZ Vertex 3's in RAID 0 + WD 600GB V-Raptor + Seagate 1TB
Cooling: XSPC Raystorm, 2x MCP 655's, FrozenQ Warp Drive, EX360+MCR240+EX120 Rad's
They seem pretty tacky and features like the killer nic are just a waste of time, Would much rather buy a EVGA or Asus ROG board, I'd be embarrassed to have such a tacky and gimmicky board lol I guess it more for people who like plastic cases covered with LED's.
if they made a s1155 mobo with real x-fi, 1x bigfoot nic + 1x Intel GbE, I'd buy it& yes, I'd even put up with the shocking heatsink design
(love the black pcb tho)

WILL CUDDLE FOR FOOD
Absolutely pointless. DDR2, too...
And they added X-RAM for X-Fi. And not usual 64MB, but twice more, 128MB, for some reason...
I think the boards will suck, actually, they usually do when they are loaded with useless stuff like that. Or the price is going to bite, at least.

Gigabutt has really lost their mojo with a bullet clip for a heat sink
Like the colour scheme just that big magazine of a heatsink looks terrible, These should be 1155 boards not X58 u serious.. ><
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
then they should release their "fully sick socket 775 edition" under the name of "joe bloggs plays facebook edition"
That magazine is childish.
Besides, and as other members said, I don't see the point in releasing more 1366 mobos when we already have Sandy Bridge CPU's.
Appart from that though, the board looks great (the "Assassin" one) and packs a bunch of nice features.
I would consider one if it didn't have that silly magazine and if it used a 1155 socket.
EDIT: LOL!!
Hooray for the Gorilla board:
Lol

Woah props to Gigabyte for using Nichicon FG and ES Muse for their X-Fi.
