Looks pretty similar to my V Gene really. The VRM heatsink looks a bit better though.

 

I only have the  board and PSU for a Z77 build I'm doing. I don't think ill be selling my board for Haswell though.

I think the z77 motherboards is better than this. In design.

Why gold? Come on. That means that we will have to spend more money matching things to the board!!

There still seems to be power delivery phases on the board.. The new chips dont need that right

Will this ever happen! I'm sure it would look amazing.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Yeah, me too. The z87 ROG range just doesn't seem to have the same awesome look. Plus the supreme fx glow looks amazing imo :)

Wonder why the ditched the blue colour scheme.. It wasn't that bad if you covered the white parts up lolol

If i am going to upgrade my system mobo is going to be that Gryphon it looks really intersting and case 350D. On normal series the gold theme is not so cool (own p67 deluxe, luv the colorscheme)

VGA on the deluxe board, seriously?

 

I have the Z77 Pro (previously P67 Evo) and it has FOUR display outputs, 2 of which are completely needless to have due to converters.  All that space that is lost could've been used for USB 2 ports, of which the board has 2.  Sure, USB 3 is backwards compatible, but the ports are too out of whack for the connectors to stay in securely, resulting my devices rapidly reconnecting if I drop a feather on the wire, seriously.

 

The P67 Evo was the best board I've owned so far; great median between the Pro and Deluxe boards.  Shame they discontinued it and I was forced to downgrade into a worse quality board after it failed.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't still need a PCI slot due to my legacy sound card.(X-Fi XtremeGamer). I have no interest in buying a new sound card when I still have one that works perfectly well, and in fact I've read bad things about the PCI-E cards (Creative's forums), so I really don't want to change over.

 

Still; I need to hold out for the enthusiast class platform.  I'm sick of only having 4 cores.  Hopefully their boards are better by then.

It's the VRM Control that's been integrated into the Haswell CPU. You still need those actual physical VRM's to provide the power to the CPU itself.

bro the controller is integrated you still need the physical hardware to convert the power to be used by the cpu

I'm surprised that only the sabertooth had a right-angle USB3 front-panel connector.. although the green colour on it is questionable too IMO..
