What an epic board , i,m dreaming already ,, thanks for the great review TTL
OK, TTL while I was lurking on OC3D page for ages this review finally encouraged me to create an account.
I was so set on Apex after your review. Waiting for delidded 7900X from Caseking, have memory, most storage. Just not the board.
Apex has much appeal to me (despite all weird/bonkers cut-outs on the PCB ) with only 4 DIMM slots and possibility of connecting 4 NVMe drives using both DIMM.2 AICs (even ordered another 960 1TB just for that reason). Plus on top of that, OCUK have plenty of Apex boards in stock. I was so ready to order Apex by Monday and now this...
You dropped this R6E bombshell last night and I have to get it. I was drooling so much I've downloaded and replayed video 5 times on the bounce and twice today... I really hate to wait another month, but I have to get R6E, not the Apex. For now nobody has it in stock anywhere in Europe. Whoever is first gets my money.:dribble::dribble::dribble:

Not always, sometimes I use 4 air cooled cards.
The pic below shows why I don't like the connectors the way they are at the bottom of the motherboard. The board is a Rampage V Edition 10 and as you can see all the connectors are useless except for the 4 pin molex which is turned through 90 degrees.
Asus should turn all the connectors though 90 degrees so they can be used when running 4 cards.
Using NVidia cards is a pain but AMD cards are even worse as they often have less clearance underneath. This is not the card manufacturers fault though, it is very poor motherboard design.

I dont agree. It could cause more issues pointing them down at the bottom, quite a few cases for example would clash with it for starters.
You are very rare in the fact that you buse 4 cards but after having a look at that board myself this morning using the 4th slot, I could get fans and the I/O in easily with only the USB3 being difficult - you can buy an adapter for that though
Pairing up this Asus Rampage Board with my new I9-7900X ten core processor need help
Got I9-7900x ten core processor and this board.
Just wondering what I should do for RAM with all that power ??? I also have a Asus GeForce 1080 GTX 8gb ROG strix OC edition with water coolant through out. Just need to choose RAM.

What Tom used for the review would be a good place to start, Corsair LPX 3200.
I personally prefer using Corsair Dominator Platinum memory at higher clockspeeds but this will only give tiny increases/poor value for money over what was used for the review.
