right i am thinking of buying this board for a new rig when it is released. now my question is about the pci x16 3.0, does it still run like that in crossfire at x16/x16 or not i have read up a fair bit but i cant get my head around if it does or not

Anyone know when this is coming? I'm excited for it hopefully you know who sends one to you know who for review!

After that video Logan did think it deserves a second look. Waiting on a friend to get funds together and I'm going to put a fx 8350 + this for him hopefully I'll have the patience to wait otherwise I'll put one together myself and benchmark my 2500k against the FX 8350 would be funny If I end up selling my LGA1155 and keeping the AMD chip.. lol
