This is a literal sex machine.

 

It is so sexy.

I doubt these will be released outside of Europe, sadly. They're probably getting fairly limited runs. I'd be all over that X99 board if it was released in the US though.

Well there are lots of stuffs that limited to US and CAN only. For them to have something exclusive is fair.

Free or cheaper than buying separately, comes with a custom G1 logo. Why not.

Actually pretty sexy. I like it.

From an aesthetic standpoint, I don't see the practicality of it. It doesn't look nice IMO.

White and Red, not quite the color scheme I was looking for but that is pretty cool nonetheless.

It's transparent. They're just using red coolant.

Well the mobo itself has white and red accents.

Asus has had monoblocks and full blocks from EK and Bitspower for quite a while. Good to see it bundled though. Nothing beats the Z170 Sabertooth S mono though.

That cameo look is hideous.

Eh I'm planning on getting the Z170A SLI Plus from MSI. It's a lot cheaper.

I also don't live in Europe and I wouldn't be buying until sometime this fall or winter.

If your going for OCing then I wouldnt recommend low end MSi boards. They have pretty bad power delivery

It's Z170. It's $140. It should be fine.

Yeah, I guess people exaggerate with stuff like this. A lot. Like the 8350's bottlenecking
