[VideoCardz] Intel Haswell-E press slides leaked + 1st look at Asus x99 Deluxe

[patrickjp93]

That's not Newegg or any other US website. Pricing is very different from country to country and a simple VAT/currency exchange isn't evidence of anything.

True, but look at the price differentials between Asus in the US and in the UK. It's $420 and I saw it myself on newegg just yesterday.

Holy Balls! Asus finally stepped away from that gold color scheme that I hated and made a work of art. Also as for the CPUs I am more excited for they affordable 6 cores because that 8 core monster is so expensive.

I am already at 5k with my next build with triple 24" ips monitors (tho I might do triple 27" monitors instead), and 290x crossfire full custom loop watercooling...might as well step up the game and go for a 7 grand build and use the 8 core with 16 gigs of ddr4 and the x99 motherboard from asus...tho I would like a ROG red/black one.

If you saw it on Newegg then that's something else entirely. I won't be surprised if that is the price after all actually.

[Peter Yacono]

Very impressive. I've been saving for some time now, but I think I'll wait until just after Christmas for prices to potentially drop a little.

 

However, lack of Thunderbolt on that Asus board?
I thought daisychaining multiple IPS monitors would be pretty sweet. 

 

Thoughts? 

 

EDIT: checked out the manual. Saw the TB Header. Still. Dedicated I/O would be good, right?

Haswell-E doesn't have integrated graphics, of course there are no graphics outputs on the board.

[Colonel_Gerdauf]

Very sexy motherboard.

 

One thing I have to say though, I am not a personal fan of the bright white accents. It does not contrast well with a black board IMO. It looks to be removable though.

[flibberdipper]

Oh my god that ASUS board is freaking awesome looking.

[Suika]

dat asus board tho

 

like, I haven't seen a mobo that beautiful

[Breal]

Asus is like "4 PCI-E slots!? That's not enough!"

[That Norwegian Guy]

Nice colour scheme on the Asus board, but the shape of the tacked-on bits and bobs ruin it.

Since no one has noticed this:

The Asus board has 2x front panel USB 3. About time.

 

 

And Intel F*cked up their PCIe lanes on their CPUs in my opinion. 40 lanes on the 5930k and the 5960x, but the 5820k only has 28 lanes. So essentially, with the budget CPU, you won't be able to do 3-way SLI at all, and 3-way CrossfireX will probably be dodgy at best with the third PCIe slot running at 4x.

[kuddlesworth9419]

5820K is what I am getting for my once every 5 something year CPU and mobo upgrade. 

[X1XNobleX1X]

ASUS why do you make me wait another 5 days to see the ROG range?

Can't you just tease the boards

[The Crazed Child]

That ASUS board goes well with my white H230

4x is alright for 1440p. I tested it myself

[PokémonTrainerFour]

That ASUS board is fucking sexy, it's too bad though that literally everyone is going black and red though.

 

Looks like I'll need some plasti-dip and dat ASUS mobo.

 

also wtf gigabyte what happened to out of the way color schemes like Green or Orange?

I bet it's because they want you to pay up big boy

[JAKEBAB]

Really want that board but i will never be able to afford it

 

It looks futuristic but not over the top its really nice imo.

[Exotath]

Looks like I found my x99 board.

Also Corsair has posted their DDR4 prices:

LPX: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/memory/vengeance-lpx-series

 

 

If memory serves me right Gskill has them beat on price/speed.

Firstly. 28 = 3*8+4 so argument invalid. Its valid for 4sli though, but if you have the money for 4 gpus, you can damn well find the 200 more dollars for the big chip.

Also this is called market segmentation. Go read abput it it all makes sense from a business perspective.

You can do 3-way SLI in 8/8/8 with 4 left over. Also, don't forget the chipset comes with 8 lanes as well. That leaves room for sound and M.2/SATA-E.
