X58A-OC Final Board Unboxing!!!!!!

[tajoh111]

One problem I have with this board - no PCI 1x slot in betwen the middle two Orange slots

This is a very important slot position for people running two graphics cards plus a soundcard, it gives you 3 slot spacing for two GFX cards in 16x slots 1 + 3 (the third slot massively improves heat dissipation and reduces GPU temps), and a slot for a soundcard in the middle.

For a board this expensive, the slots should at least be done right, as the layout on the R3E is.

The thing is, it won't be that expensive. This will be atleast 100 dollars cheaper than the r3e. Compared to r3e and the classified, this is much cheaper.
