I have suspicions we'll be seeing more of this board in the near(ish) future...

I wonder how much it's going to be priced, I hope it's not too high and around £220. I might consider getting it but only if someone makes a waterblock for it because that magazine heatsink is a no go for me

It wouldn't be so bad if it was full size, it just looks so strange being so small and makes the 5.56mm round look odd.

It looks like they have chopped the full size one in half and stuck a 5.56mmm round sticking out of it. I'm not a fan of it though to be honest it's the only thing I don't like about the G1 series motherboards.

Yeah that wouldn't be too bad, but its actually smaller than it should be, so they've shrunk it at well. It just looks completely odd. I would of prefered either a full size magazine or AR-15 in minature or maybe just some lose rounds, spent casings or ammo belt type setup. Ah well lol.

I have a horrible feeling that it'll be more than that, especially when you consider that the Z68X-UD7 is circa £270...

Probably will end up being around that plus it being PCI-E 3.0 and all they will probably be charging a bit more when it's released. I bet all Gen 3 mobos will be priced slightly higher when they come out, i'll be waiting a couple of months till they come down a bit before I grab one anyway.
