Yes it's still the same as 2011 and 2011-3, all cooler supporting that are compatible. Even the old 1366 is same hole distance, but if I recall this one actually used a back plate to mount

Thanks! That'd mean that my H105 is good to go. Good beefy cooler that.

ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme X299

Sleek. Very sleek!

I hope it doesn't raise up again.

Excellent price. I can't believe you can get 5960X-level performance for less than the price of a 6700K.

£270 odd on Aria.

Noctua have a new range of black fans coming out as well as a nifty PWM controller. The swappable corners are kind of cheap looking, but plain black corners will fix that issue. Also new coolers to support Threadripper. Apparently while the Threadripper chip is huge, heat remains isolated to a specific spot around the center.

LOTS of Warhammer 2 news today.
Edit: How can I forget the actual TW forums post!
TW Forums

Venturebeat's article

Gamesrader's article

Polyongs article. They have some very nice high res pictures too

PCGamer's article

While most of these articles mentioned the same new features CA was aloud to talk about, they all do have different points of view and each are worth a read. Some have things others don't too. So read up!

And the best YT vids on the interviews I could find. Probably the most interesting!

This is about the campaign stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEYksSnkTgc

This is about Battles and Multiplayer(hint hint, FFA game mode CONFIRMED)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC1paBDk16A
And this is the full interview if you would rather just have it in one spot. Also has a little bit more information than the split versions.

I love Warhammer. I am so glad that new stuff is coming.

AMD launched entry level pro cards based off Polaris 12. Massive performance bump compared to old Oland entry level card.

Coffee Lake delayed until Q1 2018. It'll require a new 1151 v2 socket so Z270 motherboards won't support Coffee Lake. Intel really are pushing their luck. The only reason to hold off on Ryzen is now gone.

Nothing new on that front.

Pushing it? Nah. Digging a decent sized hole? Yep...

None of the sites show this road map though and I visited all the German sites.

They have done it for ever. I don't mind having new boards for new platforms, but the point is for platforms to be actually new. They have started to just rename stuff and forcing you to buy same things in different package. They need bigger leaps. 5-10% isn't enough. You can get that with a decent overclock. Intel needs to give us a reason to go with new platform, other than they say it is "new".
