doubt it NF200 doesn't support PCI-E 3.0

My bad, I haven't read up on these new boards yet gues I should do really

 

[unknownuser200]

well nf 300 or w.e there is chips to boost the pcie lanes... such as on the 4 way x79 classy

Nf300 doesn't exist the reason the 4 way classy supports 4way sli is because SB-E has double the PCI-E lanes than the likes of SB so it can offer 4 way sli at 8x PCI-E 3.0.

[unknownuser200]

guess legit reviews claim is off lol

well w/e i think im going with a r4e but the fan on the SB makes scared its gonna be loud

Why u do this Gigabyte ?

The magazine on the Sniper and Assassin was bad but this just ruins a really good looking board.

MSI have the best 2011 board imo

God that's ugly

Thats certainly a nicely laid out board. I'm sure that it will have a suitable price tag to go with it.

Few more boards from ASUS pictured today:

Sabertooth X79

Wonder why they're going for active chipset/VRM cooling when others aren't...

P9X79 Deluxe

ps. if you're bored of me posting the pics up, give me a shout.

Thats what im wondering too, unless these are concept boards but they look like the retail versions unless they aren't

Im just hoping there not loud otherwise its going to be missions if you gona have to watercool to get rid of a whining little fan

 

[unknownuser200]

i think its lack of room and the fans prolly on a very low rpm causing it to be quiet enough? if you look at the boards that are passively cooled most have something were the NB normally would be just a heatsink to spread out the heat but for the r4e and other boards there so much crap packed there they have limited heatsink room. Just a theory
