There's no denying that it's one sexy ass motherboard. I'm SO excited for it and I'll be watching closely as I imagine it'll sell out quicker than the ROG Swift does. There's only one thing that's urking me and that's the tiny fan on the chipset, hopefully there's a passive alternative because those tiny fans are hela loud!

Holy crap... It's... beautiful...

 

except for that stupid little fan

You could say that the fan is

not cool

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

In the top picture, you can see through the fan. It seems to be blowing air onto the armor with nowhere for the air to go. wat?

Shame there couldn't have been a white motherboard before Intel introduced dead-end Sata express and made board partners waste board space on that shit. And I hope this motherboard SKU sticks around until motherboards return to a chipset without it.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I hope they make an MATX version. I would also prefer plain white so if I were to get one I would take off the armor.

It would look a lot nicer if it weren't for the camo and truck bed texture. We get it already, it's tuf.
