ASRock Shows X399 Taichi and Fatal1ty Professional Gaming
You guys have seen X399 (Ryzen Threadripper) motherboards from names like ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI. ASRock was still missing in that list. However details and some photos surfaced on the web showing the new X399 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming and X399 Taichi.
The boards will be impressive as ASRock always takes it to the next level, especially networking is a thing. You guys know that i have been preaching higher Ethernet speeds for like a year now, well the X399 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming is to be fitted wit dual-band AC WIFI and it has three Ethernet jacks! Not just that, one of them will get a 10 Gigabit jack based on an embedded Aquantia NIC. Obviously the board will get the usual LED bling and functionality.
You will spot 8 DIMM slots for quad-channel DDR4 memory, which btw is listed to support up-to 3600 MHz DIMMs. The board has four PCI-Express x16 slots (each secondary a x8 lane one) and one PCI 2.0 x1 slot as well as three M2 connectors.
The X399 Taichi is pretty much offering the same features aside from that 10 Gbit Ethernet jack. Obviously it has different aesthetic tweaks. Have a peek at the slides (courtesy of Videocardz).

You are right, i didn't see the 4 pin in the other motherboards corner.I still prefer 2x8 pins in ASUS and MSI motherboards.Just in case.
Not sure what you are saying. These boards have an 8 pin and a 4 pin. You talking about two 8 pins compared to a 8 and 4?

I don't think these CPU's will be that power hungry.

"will" or "could"?
The fact that Ryzen can't do a significant OC even with unlocked multiplier is not an advantage but a limitation specially for enthusiast motherboards.
ASUS "leaked" a pic of his X399 ROG Zenith Extreme showing the CPU clock at 5.005GHz but it's an evident photoshop work (no CPU installed):

Maybe it's possible this CPU can OC to 5 GHz with a proper power supply and...under LN2.Not very useful for gaming.

They showed the x299 board with the same LCD display showing 5.005 as well.
