Manufactures, Y U tease us?

[alienware]

haha if they do that as an MATX it will be wider than it is tall

That board is pretty much square lol

I just dont understand why you would need a fan for the mosfet cooling ?
But if am not mistaking there are pre done water cooling fittings, so i am not quite sure how the cooling would work without water ?

Oh dear I think I just made the front of my underwear sticky..

Z87 Killer any one? Edit holy fudge look how wide it is !!

I think I'm in love all over again... don't tell my GF tho, she'll get jelly O_O

Yeah I mentioned it a while ago dude. It's really starting to worry me seeing this HORRID whirry little crap fans on the sinks.

Haswell is what, 22nm? less? why on earth would you need to cool the power circuitry?

I'm also noticing that loads of these boards have dual 8 pin. Seriously wtf? we're supposed to be cutting down power consumption

i dont mean to alarm anyone.....but 'Assassin' mark 2 is getting this board! ironic right?? :lol:

More pics from Gigabyte guys

And yes, a Micro-ATX board!

Seems like we're going to see more models in the G1 series this time

Potentially my next mobo to go in a 350D

Probably going the same route

*DROOLS*

I knew it ! that MATX board is wider than it is tall :lol:

Amazing stuff.

Oh my GAAWWWWD!!! a non prototype pic of the Gigabyte OC

And the less atractive, what looks like either a UD3, UD4 or UD5.

Another interesting pic.... 6.2 ghz with a 4670k no idea what cooling was used though.

 

[WillSK]

That micro atx plus a 350D or Prodigy is certainly an appealing thought right now!

1.216v to get there - that's what I use for 4.5GHz on Ivy
Go MPOWER!

*Le gasp* Are those.....standard G 1/4 barbs? :O (Judging by the CPU socket right next to it, so just guessing.)

Oh my GAAWWWWD!!! a non prototype pic of the Gigabyte OC

These pics make my wiggly bits not-so-wiggly. :biggrin:

Found two new boards, guys:

First ones a bit weird, as I remember reading about Intel stepping down from the motherboard market, but they've made a Z87 board anyway? (Look at the heatsink):

And Biostar joins in on the fun once again with this z87 board with Thunderbolt! (While the rest of the board doesn't seem too high-end to me):

 

[alienware]

Biostar's is rank. Looks so cheap.

Z87 OC Formula by ASRock? Hmmm, lot of competition in these z87 boards tbh:

 

[Feronix]

I know I know, double post. But hey, it's new content so I guess it's okay?

MSI:

You want extreme? That is what the X stands for in XPOWER.

 

[MrKambo]

god all these nice boards!! i thought my formula v looked nice!

it is nice to see manufacturers putting in silly amounts of effort getting there hardware looking nice!

 

[WillSK]

I agree Kambo, I think manufacturers are realising that with successes such as the MPower that it's not only the £180+ boards that should be aesthetically pleasing.

 

[MrKambo]

this is way to awesome!!
