Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
so do i .... the first reason for getting new hardware....
Anyone getting the SOC FORCE and not taking it subambient are simply buying a Ferrari but limiting it to driving in a school zone. Save your money boys until you are ready to benchmark with the big boys is my advice. :)

the board really attracts me… but that’s it … I rather to keep my system and add just a unlucked i7 for future proof a little more my rig,

if I were about to build a new system I will wait to Cannonlake, for making the right decision and knowing a little more about the new processor and how it will perform based on older results from skylake for that time,

I'm still pretty happy with the current setup,

IF you have to save money to OC at that level, you're doing it wrong. :p

But I dunno, since they had LN2 X99 board, maybe they will eb obvious, and this might be a great board to OC memory @ ambient.

I still think it's kinda meh :p, then again not liked many at all for looks even more so this one. Although this one replacing the red with black would be much better. i would be taking as much of that plastic crap off as possible still lol.

Then again i would still pick what ever one had best options \ price for me how ever it looked.

I like the ASRock boards more once again looks wise although i wish they would do more gold\black micro boards

I can't wait for this board. I will be stepping up from my current G1 WIFI Black.
