Pics of some Z390 boards

[NumLock21]

Here are some new board running on the Intel Z390 chipset, used for the upcoming Intel 9000 series cpus, the first mainstream 8 core. One thing I find odd is

Spoiler

why does Asus have the word "CPU" pointing at the back of the PCIe clip.

I guess those are pcie lanes wired directly to the CPU and the other are from the chipset

So that you know its the PCI-e lanes from CPU and not the chipset... I hope...

Looks like your correct. I've noticed the word CPU is also pointed at the 2nd x16 slot.

I hope not. I was planning to use that board, but it looks silly.

Man are they trying to make me repeat myself?

I'll be sticking to my not-stupid-looking Z370-E thank you very much (also cause the whole rig less the CPU and one of the drives is brand new and I don't need to upgrade although the siren call of RTX is there... nevermind it's overpriced garbage

[Space Reptile]

i take it this board is what you need to run a i7 9900K

I'm afraid that's how it will be from now on.

And look at them CMOS batteries

My mind said Intel, but my fingers didn't

I'm really not liking the Aorus branding the past few generations.

 

Really wish Gigabyte would bring back the SOC-Force style boards. Those looked awesome.

[Dredgy]

I’m really hoping ASRock keeps an ITX board with thunderbolt (or someone else comes along and does it). Hard to tell from the pictures but doesn’t look promising.

Ugh yeah me too. Seems like ASUS is run by edgy 12 year old gamers these days. The ASrock and AORUS ITX look much better. Hopefully they have beefier VRM than the Z370 ones. And better audio.

[yian88]

Who cares i bought ryzen 2600 + Gigabyte x470 Aorus UG for 300$ both,  those boards will prolly cost 300$ just the board and new 8 core i7/i9 400$+, boring intel as always, nothing exciting unless you are milionaire.

[kucki]

Maybe get a better job if you think 700$ is alot lmao

What? I thought these new Asus motherboards seemed clean compared to what they usually are. I think they look appealing. That being said the asrock boards look the best imo.

Mb I should have been more specific  I was referring to the Strix boards specifically, with all those gaudy texts.

wow wtaf. that skull ._.

Asus managed to license cod black ops 4 so it gets that skull. It even says it on the m.2 heatsink. Maybe it's bundle with the game.
