Woah woah woah. Turbo socket? Extra pins? Didn't ASUS already patent (or something) that for their X99 boards?

not sure if ASUS "patented" it but yeah they have done that extra socket thing for "extra overclocking capabilities no other board offers"

Does this mean in a couple years I will have to build a pyramid, mummify it and entomb it with a bunch of cats?

Definitely for the highly anticipated Broadwell-E CPUs! Forget Skylake, Haswell, Kabylake. Broadwell-E and Haswell-E are where it's at!

i would still stick with the asus, those attenas and extra stuff it comes with is ^^talking boult MSI are the worst, at least you get worth while and fuctional extas with a ASUS mobo although i do agree the x99 is faster those extra pins wont help it at all, had an msi sli s x99 board overclocker mediocre then brock sent back replaced with a cheaper asus x99 and c3.1 board and it still runs and runs faster north of 5 gz with h100. ill never buy an msi again i can put my own LED's in the case if i have to. i have not once had a good long lasting experience with them + i really dont belieave ca "patent pins" who's got count them and what would intel say?
