Your dream board.

[kizh]

I'll start off.

Matx
all USB 3 (unless usb 2 only ports supported by chipset)
Intel LAN (just one)
ToughGuard w/ fan (and those extra heat sensors)
8 Dimm slots (Make us crave Ramdisk)
Only intel Sata ports. 4 or 6.. whatever it supports.

M.2 / Sata express / thunderbolt as you wish. maybe do something crazy like (2) m.2 if they can be raided.

(basically a minimalist rog with nice hardware)

Please take my money.

Dream board? Ok Lets call it Rampage V

X99 chipset and 2011-3 socket for Haswell Extreme Edition
4 DIMM slots for four channel DDR4

SupremeFX audio as on the R4BE or M6F, ie. with separate DAC and headphone amp

Two PCIe3 x16 slots minimum - more expected to fill out 40 lanes available
PCIe2 M.2 socket with sufficient lanes - will probably be shared/selected with other PICe2 slots
At least one PCIe2 x1 slot that still works when as SSD is in the M.2

6 Intel SATA ports with more Asmedia ports to make the board look more high-end
Headers on board for front panel USB2 and USB3, 2 each, and for frontbase or OC panel
I/O panel loaded out with the rest of available USB

Rear panel 'clear CMOS' and ROG connect buttons

Direct key connection for a front panel switch

Potent, extreme VRMs and water cooled like M6F
Water cooled PCH

One gigabit ethernet
WiFi / Bluetooth as on M6F/M6E

Fan headers: CPU, Chassis and Optional with external sensor headers as on M6F.
All but CPU have selection of sensor source as on several Maximus VII.
Graphic fan profile in BIOS as the trend is going with Maximus VII.

Oh, yeah ... and BIOS with all the great overclocking features an Extreme Edition CPU needs

agree with it

I already own it the R4BE has been very stable for me..

[kizh]

I was gonna say sounds like they are coming pretty close to what you want!

[Finrecon]

everything i need. and ddr far away from cpu. and big space between two pci-e slots

[abvolt]

I'll be going x99 also..

[The_Mentalist]

I do want the R4BE. Never used it, looks like the R5E/BE is what i should be aiming for 🙂
