1300 watt CPU?? Are you sure? At that wattage the motherboard would catch on fire.

Twin M.2 SSDs, interesting. I wonder if you can do RAID 0 or RAID 1 with that.

1300W!! That's a lot of CPU power, defiantly a plus for overclockers.

I see one has that ancient dinosaur Fatality name on it who just play games and the other by OCer Nick Shih. The other difference is as mentioned in the article, extra heatsink on OC and Fatality has the Killer Lan. Looks like OC has the Killer lan too without the "Killer" EMI shield. Too lazy to bother looking it up.
I'll take the OC one, cause that Killer logo...
What network card do you use?
*In a immature high pitch voice* I use Killa! :|

I doubt the average console kiddie would be able to afford the x99 platform... so I don't see the "I use Killa!" happening 😛

I just want to see the Asus Rampage V Extreme. I cant wait to see what asus has been working on the past 3 years.

No video out? I realise that you would be running a dgpu 99% of the time on this platform but it's still useful. Also I prefer the extreme 6 layout with the two nics adjacent to each other, but that's just me.

Also a mini pci e slot next to the nvidia logo.

No point in having video out if there's nothing to produce graphics on the board/chip :\.
