I may get one of these. $299 is doable for a high end board.

@btarunr any idea on how many layers the PCB has?

I assume that the OEM is still ASRock this time around?

That assumption has a good chance of being correct but this kind of speculation is never 100% certain.

My guess is that NZXT signed a multi-year contract with ASRock as an OEM supplier but no one here has seen that contract. No details about expiration date, conditions for dissolving the partnership, exclusivity, blah blah blah.

Ask NZXT if you want an authoritative answer.

While I like the clean looks of NZXT boards, I just can't understand why would they cover the VRM heatsinks with a shroud? Are the mosfets not hot enough, or what?
