I agree about the fan, it doesn't seem very useful like that. Too flat.
Six RAM banks and four channels?
Just what I was thinking. How would quad channel work with 6 slots?
wassup with skyscraper heatsinks

Will this socket support ivy bridge that is comming next year?
A Fan on a mainboard? when what the last time we had to deal with those annoying close to zero airflow but prone to failure and whining micro fans? S775 and S939 times? some things in history are better left to rest in piece.
fantastic to see a fan on coolig...
i play my balls the fan are brushless 4500rpm and in best case scenario live 6 month
FAIL
Looks like it was made so that all those S1366 peeps can just take their two tri channel kits and drop them in. I wouldn't kick it out of my case, I'll tell you that.

Fan on motherboard, fail.... Yes it is on SR2 as well, doesnt make it better....
Skyscraper heatsink, fail as well...
6x DIMM, COULD be interesting, but doubt it is.. Would be COOL if quad chan and 2 spares WITH BATT for OS... with 8GB density coming out, 16GB should work FINE for OS directly on ram... But I kind of doubt that ASRock has the balls to pull that off.

Only 2 rear USB3.0 ports on a high-end board ?
Did anyone complain about the skyscraper heatsinks on the original Asus REx? This thing (well.... ANY X79) is gonna have to deal with MUCH more heat.....
Fan on the SB........ Im kinda amused by the "nostalgia" for boards with the next-gen top-end chipset
+1Looks like it was made so that all those S1366 peeps can just take their two tri channel kits and drop them in. I wouldn't kick it out of my case, I'll tell you that.
Or may be for people who prefer the use or more memory with three channel instead of quad channel using all six slots than only four.
Anyway beside some benchmark in real life the difference between tri and quad channel will be almost 0.
The fan on SB is a little bad idea, not because will die( i have such a fan from a socket A cpu cooler and it's working even), i think that it will be a lower RPM fan 2400-2800, but because it will colect dust in time.
But i think that the heatsink is fixed in screws and probably can be open to clear the dust.
Also the VRM looks pretty good.

I'm curious if any of the add'l SATA ports will support any RAID modes. That's my beef with their Extreme6: there's 2 P67/Z68 SATA3 ports that support RAID0/1/5/10 (with 4 SATA2 ports) but then there's another 4 Marvell SATA3 ports that don't support anything. At least in my estimations, that makes them kind of useless.

I doubt that. asrock doesnt usually have fans on motherboards. if they did this there is probably a reason.
the fact is there is limited space, and this motherboard is packed with stuff. there may be no more room for an alternate cooling solution. (example: the heatpipe on other motherboards that runs from the bottom all the way up to all the other heatsinks)
personally I don't want a proprietary fan on my motherboard. and if they're going to sacrifice this to fit more DIMMs, I want all 8, not just 6. so this motherboard is not blowing me away right now. but everything else is looking good....
Why the hell would the chipset need active cooling?

Not a big fan of colour selection and heatsink design.
But hope it performs.
