What's the release date for Haswell mobos?

I say the same time as the Haswell Cpu but probably earier or later by a few days.

Stupid non-disclosure agreements! Linus knows everything about the Haswell motherboards from ASUS and he can't tell us. I demand this information!

[mumbojumbogumbo]

Don't manufacturers release motherboards earlier than the chip or is that only for same socket refresh? Last year 7-series mobos were released in the beginning of April while Ivy was released at the end.

I do enjoy the look of Biostar's, although i'd love to see the M-ATX mobos that are released so i can maybe do a smaller form factor build on haswell with the 700 series. Can't wait for this, you have no idea! I finally get to upgrade my PC! ... It's only been 6 months since i got the final stick of RAM for this rig. but still!

The boards all look good. Really like the "on the fly" voltage control, from previous not as detailed news hints that we are gonna see more of that. But I do hope the end production versions won't have PCI slots, from the earlier z87 boards ive seen in the link and otherwise. It might just be me but, I felt PCI wasn't needed 2 platforms ago.

Ya the ones with PCI slots look like hobbled together prototypes. Probably early builds to get rev1 BIOS ready and all that other early stuff.

The asrock mobo has the virtuMVP logo on it. I wonder how many mobos will be certified.... And if you need to pay separately for using it.... As Lucid has said about its 2.0 version.

Really excited about Haswell. I will probably buy a 4770k so I'm really interested in Z87 mobos.

Yep, im looking to get a mATX one to chuck in a 350D.

The Gryphon looks interesting, although I'm also expecting MSI to release an M-Power board which would look awesome :).

The MSI board is called the Mpower Max :) http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-Teaser-MPOWER-MAX-motherboard,22275.html It is be the board that I'm waiting to hit the market so I can switch to the Z87 Platform :)

virtu is always free provided that the manufacturer includes it with the mobo.

 

though the downside is you can't buy it,if it's not included with your mobo you can't use it.

Planning a build in August, and really at this point I know what I would put in, IF there was no Haswell. But I'm assuming I'll go with a Haswell motherboard and chip, so waiting for details that'll allow me to finalize specs is driving me crazy!
