First public pictures, I doubt that is the final NB cooling... but what fun, tri-channel RAM and a beastly PWM circuit!

HOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLYYYY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.

*DROOLS*

but.... i wonder how bad this will hurt a wallet.

If these new proc's and boards are reasonable, i might be building one, come new year.....
MAYBE.

I'm digging the buttons!

And does it look like an E-ATX board? Not sure...

[Capper]

yeah, thats just a mockup board, the cooling will be added just before release.

If you look closely, theres about an extra 1 3.8in. after the third screw hole (at the bottom).

Rich beat me.

but why do they do the gigabyte and put the battery on the bottom of PCI-E 2 =(
And being a rampage, expect the usual huge sinks for both NB and SB lol with long pipes

The thing is, we've gotten to a point where you no longer need to mess with the battery to clear the BIOS. Its been quite awhile since you have had to mess with the battery on either an ASUS or Gigabyte board.
