[Sweclockers] First look at the Asus x99 Rampage 5 Extreme

[Buckley]

I still really like the red and black motherboard scheme, although I don't like all the flat VRM heatsinks

the m2 ssd slot seems to be at a wired place....

Only Asus chose that space for the m2 slot...

normally the ssd go in under the first pci-e but asus have put some kind of chip there, something to do with pci-e lanes i would say. maybe asus was thinking maybe you want to replace your ssd without taking your gpu out. imagine if it died and you had a waterloop on your gpu.

i found a video of the Asus x99 motherboard if anyone wants to see it in a case

No right-angle 24-pin connector?! God damnit could just 1 or 2 high-end boards please put that in the design?! It's the last ugly cabling vestige left!
