Every now and then I foolishly accept an invite... from some poor acquaintance... or relative... or other... and am forced to leave my home....
...which, of course, is equipped with a high end desktop!
These forays invariably lead me to some hovel...
and invariably they are equipped with some kind of everyman computing device..."mainstream" they tell me.....

Just because you take the hot little number out for a spin doesn't mean you have to wed her, she's still a fun ride
Yup! Good to plug something into a different socket now and then...
In the end it just comes down to this
With a bit of tweaking I can get the same 4.5GHz as stock 7700K at same volts more or less and same temps...without having to delid anything and on 8 cores not 4 and no wasted space on the silicon keeping me awake at night.
Arne finally gets to sleep good

Seems like this board is finally going to drop...

Might have been a different story if this had been around...though I still don't like GPU spacing! Imagine 2 Strix 1080Tis covering the other PCIe lanes....
and this finally arrived from the US of slow postal service...
Might have been different if that had been here too...kind of glad it was kept out of reach...the temptation would have been too strong to void warranty...

Im not so sure I would have fallen down that rabbit hole had this been released the same time as the others. At first I wanted it then the more I thought the more it didn't make any sense. One key feature its missing from previous extreme boards is the dual BIOS roms. While the water block looks nice Ive come to find out that as much as I like to tinker full blocks are to much of a PITA to put on and take off. The added fan and pump headers dont do much good for me, particulary the pump headers as even my PWM pumps do not use this style power connection. Standard molex with a single PWM wire on a 4 pin fan connector. Not that i would use is anyhow as Ive found AI suite to be too buggy. Im using an Aquaero that I can control everything from. One other extremely valid point....If you use the pump headers......how do you fill your loop without powering up the MOBO? With the Aquaero I can just unplug the power supplying it and the pumps and put it on my bench PSU and leave the MOBO and everything else plugged in as the PSU wont have power on it.
