Intel Desktop Board DZ87KLT-75K Pictured
Ahead of its grand Computex launch alongside the Core "Haswell" processor family, Intel's homebrew socket LGA1150 Desktop Board products are being previewed online. One such covers the company's flagship motherboard, the DZ87KLT-75K "Kinsley." The board features a CPU power supply that's most compliant to Intel's iVR design for Core "Haswell" processors, with an 8-phase design. You'll either love or hate the new heatsink design. Expansion slots include three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 (x16/x8/x4), three PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and surprisingly, a legacy PCI.
Storage connectivity includes six SATA 6 Gb/s ports from the Z87 PCH, two from a third-party controller, and an mSATA 6 Gb/s. The board features a single first-generation Thunderbolt port, which doubles up as mini-DisplayPort, the only other display output than HDMI. A variant of this board without Thunderbolt (in which the port works only as mini-DisplayPort), could be sold as DZ87KL-70K. Rest of the board's connectivity include eight USB 3.0 ports (six rear, two by header), eight USB 2.0/1.1 ports, two 800 Mbps FireWire ports (one rear, one by header), 8-channel HD audio with optical SPDIF, two gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and an optional front-panel module that gives the board front-panel USB 3.0 ports, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0. In addition to the five 4-pin PWM fan headers, the board appears to feature several overclocker-friendly features. Find a video presentation at the source.

I am sooo... buying this board at launch, i already sold my i7-3770 and the desktop board DZ68BC, the money from that is going into the i7-4770 and DZ87KLT-75K
Last one of it's kind and i will get it.
I really like the design, if I don't go for an ROG board for LGA1150, this is definitely the board I will pick for Haswell
Oh well, thanks for clearing that up :)
BTW: Why a serious company like Intel puts a "skull" on it's board is a total mistery to me. Even if you say "it is enthusiast/gamer-orientated", it doesn't make sense to me! "Death culture" is more related to criminals and, well, who knows, army people. Both seem to be extending like a virus lately. Instead, let's celebrate technology as part of life! (rant over :)
Good luck trying to remove that BIOS chip...
Other than that, some headers I don't quite guess what they're for, but it has a neat layout and a nice look. Too bad, like all Intel motherboard, this one will likely have an over the top price. :\
This is only engineering example, final product look will be improved :laugh:
I've seen them more on Server motherboards than consumer type.

Skull connotation = badass. Get over it.Hahaha!
I do like the look of the board but Intel have lacked in overclocking options and tend to be premium priced.
Skulltrail FTW !!!!
Oh I sooo want this!! This board gives me a big reason to go Haswell :toast:
WOW Do I see "6" fan headers !!!!!!!!!!?
Now they getting thier act together :toast:
Every time i encounter that i pull the damn plate off! Skull or no skull. :cool:
It's just to carry on from the Skulltrail days "Extreme"It's not like in the older P4 days where the heat was enormous, thus needing active cooling now less heat, it can be done passive, and it's by design to use internal thermal dynamic's
