Add this one to the Asus X99 line up although this one is "Workstation Grade". You get lots of PCIe 3.0 slots which If I'm not mistaken this board supports for 4-way CrossFireX and SLI running at 16x speeds.
All for a friendly $519 MSRP will probably be cheaper once available at Newegg & Amazon.

As said before me "Corsair Sails away any day". Seriously the critical word here is "unnecessary" there was NO NEED FOR THIS.  Who ever approved that last minute logo design is just plain dumb. My first reaction when I saw that logo was "What the actual f**k is that?
 
Its like they want to be MSI with gaming yellow but I can say its not working out at all.
 
 
 
 
Before and looking very nice indeed:

After:

 
Corsair are getting annihilated on their FB every comment is "Keep the old logo"

Meanwhile, in their engineering department:
 

We're customers. This product is one that is being sold not only for it's technical specs, but largely on it's aethetic appeal. They have done something that changes that aesthetic appeal 'at the last minute', in a very negative way, for a portion of people. It may be a minor change to you, but it's a subjective thing, there are clearly quite a number who find it more than minor.
 
We don't owe Corsair our money. We're telling them that one of the reasons we chose to buy Corsair versus other brands is that their products had a visual appeal (in addition to the functional side) that we liked, and that this new branding completely undermines that.
 
We shoudn't need to fix logo's when buying a $170 keyboard.

Wow after seeing corsairjames response I am definetly done with corsair mice and keyboards. The logo on the keyboard is just a sticker, fine, who cares. But I'm way more upset about the mouse. Its the whole front of the mouse and it lights up, its awful. I already have a k95 keyboard and mm200 mouse pad. I'm not changing my whole setup to match this new logo, not to mention its god awful looking. And what the hell were they thinking. Would it have hurt to leak the image, or post it on their facebook page for opinions before changing their entire damn lineup to this new logo without asking for anyones opinion. They gambled and lost. Corsair is out of touch with its customers.
All I wanted was a rgb corsair mouse to match my setup and match my rgb h100i. Damn you corsair. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Corsair are being dead silent they could at least give an update and if they have I haven't heard about it. The keyboard looked pretty good at Computex.
 
Im only interested because I want to buy my first mechanical keyboard and may as well go for the RGB programming over a single backlit color.
