I'm not in the market for a sub-$500 board. I'm in the market for a Sub-$200 board! Max $250.

Please review at least one affordable board (Sub-$300?).

What is the proportion between chipset cost and the remainder of the motherboard ?

No video outputs during a time of GPU shortages seems like a bad move. "Fully loaded" boards need the basics and the bonuses.

Intel hasn't launched the value-centric B- and H-series chipsets yet, so platform pricing will be high for now and most manufactures still concentrate on high-end ($200 plus) motherboard.

Wait few moments until B- and H-series chipset has been launched, the the market will be flooded with sub $200 motherboards.

Impressive they managed to fit all m2 sockets (with heat spreaders) on the mobo itself, rather than relying on a daughter board.

Anyone know when this board is set to arrive on shelves? I can't seem to find as many listings for it. Any advice to nab one would be appreciated.

EVGA

supplied our Supernova 850W P6 power supply (appropriately sized and more efficient than the outgoing 1.2KW monster we used) for our test systems

Until next year when GPUs could possibly consume twice the power than they currently do.

I'd like to see a review of that power supply too!
