I looked at the Sage boards, but couldn't find any reviews or other information about how they handled overclocking. I'm also looking hard at the Deluxe II as it has better VRMs that the previous version. Price is the same for the Sage and Deluxe II and both are readily available. As I mentioned, lights to me don't really matter and I would just turn them all off. I actually prefer the looks of the Apex, but that is long gone.
Sage is a solid Workstation board where you can run your graphics cards in SLI (up to 4), with more PCIe slots than any other ASUS board that I know of. If it had come out before the R6E that is what would be in my rig. This new board is extremly disappointing. Dont care about loss of bling but do care about loss of PCIe slots and VROC and god only knows what else as there are no published specs. Matter of fact if this was the only ASUS board..........Id be buying Asrock or EVGA.
I’m in too deep already. I have kids in college making the term disposable income no longer part or my reality. That $25K I had to crap from thin air this morning is enough to make people cry. The real kicker is I constantly hear people complaining about how the US higher education system is unfair and how the financially challenged are cut out because they can never go. Yet last semester when we were at the bookstore out of the 30 or so students in there I was the only one paying, all the rest had some sort or card issued by what ever aide they are getting so it cost them zero for new books while I spent more than $1000 for used ones. Let me stop!*
Enjoy your rig!! *You wanna adopt a couple of young adults?*
MSRP I’ve been seeing is $8K for the chip leaked at CES but no one will know until it hits the shelves. Supposed to be able to hit 5GHz but you need a chiller for the 1.2KW heat load for just the chip!

Sorry. I'm 72 and mine are long done. Not planning on an OC fest here, just shopping for pci lanes. I'll peruse SuperMicro's 3647 offerings too.
