That glossy black though....
ah well, it has some nice features though

[Tea1337]

Is that a daughter PCB for the audio? It must have pretty good on board audio then on the gene.

 

I hope the impact has more features than the last.

love the design... hot*  hot* :wub:

Thank god they changed the ram pins to black and red on the gene. They were white in the previous generation

Yep, it looks like it. Then there's more space for other stuff on the mainboard and is less interference.

What's the difference between the hero and the ranger

[Mooshi]

Nice looking boards, shame there isn't really any justification to move on from Sandy Bridge, yet.

Looks like the sound is better on the hero.

[Real_PhillBert]

I really like the Gene. Like, a lot.

[Mysticode]

I have the VI Hero. What is the rational in maybe buying this new version? Is it compatible with my CPU?

[Hurkatan]

[TAK]

Still think I will go for the Gryphon Armored edition.

Good thing I got almost 2 months til I have to make the final choice of boards.

[4960X]

The Gene looks sick, I want it nao.

Saw these several days ago from TTL, they definitely look really good even with the red and black scheme getting quite old.
