Soo much want! And just taste that rainbow.
Great write-up, I've already got one pre-ordered. My one concern is with the enclosed m.2 slot. There has been some attention given to thermal throttling on some newer m.2 drives including the Samsung 950 Pro, and I'm worried that enclosing one in plastic with no ventilation could cause problems. I suppose if it was a problem I could just leave the m.2 cover off, but that's not ideal as it would take away from the board's aesthetics. Do you have any thoughts on this Tom?
I did have the Maximus VIII Hero on my wishlist... Sorry Hero but I reaaaaly think the formula will be my new best friend![]()
I have the hero and I bloody want to upgrade.
No motherboard has ever had me this excited.
