Z97 Maximus VII ETA?

Pahani
Level 9
I know it's a ways off, but is there any indication of an ETA on Z97 Motherboards?

I'm looking specifically for a 4970K with a Maximus VII Formula. And yes, I can wait the 3 months or so I'd estimate......would just appreciate an idea if this estimate is in the ballpark!

I have all the parts to build my new PC except CPU and MB.....but doing so when brand-new parts are so close would irk me LOL. I've been collecting parts a little at a time over the last 4+ months, so waiting a bit longer won't hurt (too much!).

Wait for June if you're starting fresh. In literally a few days you'll be able to see all the new features and decide for yourself.

Another question:

Will the X99 workstation boards be blue? Or some new color?

If they follow the same path as what I saw a little while ago on Facebook with the Z97-WS boards, they're pretty much all black, with Gold on the heatsinks

Too bad I have to wait a month before I see what I really want to see.

Any updates on an ETA? Or anyone know when stores will start doing pre orders? Most stores will have the 4790k in stock in the next week. It will suck having to wait another month just to use it.

If you are 3 genterations behind then update 🙂 if not you can wait haha. CPU performance doesn't increase as much anymore. Power efficiency is the main target now a days.

Does anybody know anything about there being a Asus Maximus VII Impact?
I want one for my new build, and why would I bother buying the Z87 version if I can get the Z97 one in a few weeks.
Unfortunately I could not yet find information on wether or not there is going to be a new Impact this year.

1st/2nd week of June @ Computex like MarshallR said is when the full announcement will come. ASUS prefers to keep us on edge and on our toes and make us wait 😉

Yeah, but Computex starts after X99 and Z97 are released!


X99 might not be getting released til 2H of this year, possibly Q3. We'll have to wait til June for details.
