Yeah they do, no way they made this mobo just for people running watercooling ++

Folks who only plan to run 3 sticks are still going to be fine, those who absolutely need 6 are going to have to either settle for normal height dimms or find a heatsink that's narrow enough to allow tall ones (Thermalright MUX-120 or similar).

im not saying that its only for liquid but making the board larger to accommodate air cooling when the board is basically for benching. its not like u can run 4 cards on air and get proper cooling

Let me see, Copper is up 253% from last year and this design actually cools better than the typical big block designs used in the past.

didnt aluminum go up too, but i would rather have some shiny aluminum than the painted

My R3E is early sample. New R3E size is the same as R2E. I will post some pics and results with final version R3E next week.

Gary explained some of the new features of this revision, including a totally new and improved PWM capable of over 260amps power delivery to the CPU. Gary said that number could increase to as high as 300a before launch. Another nice addition was the LN2 switch, which essentially fixes the cold boot issues by forcing the board to run in a base mode that disables all unnecessary features and bumps up voltages just for the boot process. The BIOS is still being tuned at the moment, but Gary is expecting the board to be ready for March/April.
