Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel CeBIT ourselves at the last minute, however the word out there iz Z77 alright. Check out what ASUS has been working on with the Sabertooth Z77.

It seems that the thermal armor is back, the plastic cover that functions as overlay on the motherboard. The board comes with four DDR3-DIMM slots and an all-PCIe expansion slot layout (no PCI slots anymore).

The board has two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots, one PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4) and the another three PCIe x1 slots.

Storage wise you'll get two additional SATA 6 Gb/s ports next to the standard connectivity. Display outputs are DVI and HDMI. Obviously the board comes with 8-channel HD audio, Gigabit Ethernet and 6 USB 3.0 ports and a good number of USB 2.0 ports. Have a peek at the photo which is courtesy of lab501.
