Well looks like they're doing it right with an all black board with its RGB's Looking forward to seeing it fully and all of its features

You're welcome! Seeing 3x M.2 is quite exciting it's a good looking board as well. Tom will have a busy spring/summer

Just hope all 3 are full speed

As much as I love a bit of lighting in a board this rgb madness is taking over. Just hope there are option to disable some of the lighting zones

Motherboard madness again.

Congratulations, you've almost ripped off Asus to a tee !

I need to see some Asus boards ASAP to satisfy the urge I have inside

And I agree; there's too much RGB on everything nowadays. Like Christmas trees - not for me. Off it all goes!

I wonder of we'll be able to get brackets for LGA2066 for our AIOs or of they require new units. Hmmm let's find out of the EK Predator 360 fits my case...

Interesting there's four full length PCIe slots... Is triple/quad SLI back from the dead or are they for other devices?

Other devices I bet because Nvidia doesn't support it and regardless of it being Nvidia or AMD, most games don't either. Maybe for those running a couple of Quadro or FirePro cards?

Yeah plenty of bandwidth for PCIe expansion cards if the M.2's aren't maxed out.
Thunderbolt, RAID cards.

I get why NV don't really bother with more than 2 way but I would still love to see a Quadfire or 4way SLI build though. Even just for the benches.
