ASUS X99-Deluxe Photo Gets Online
More X99 news this morning as a photo of the ASUS X99-Deluxe surfaced on the web. The motherboard comes with gorgeous black and white looks. The CPU is based on 8-phases VRM with a 4-phase one for DDR4, it has eight DDR4 DIMM slots. Expansion slots include four PCI-Express 3.0 x16, one PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x4), and an additional PCI-Express 2.0 x4.
X99 is developed for the 6 and 8-core DDR4 supporting Haswell-E HEDT platform and is based on socket LGA2011-3.The motherboards based on X99 can support a whopping five PCI-Express 3.0 x16 which can be arranged in these slot configurations, x16/NC/x16/NC/x8, or x16/NC/x8/x8/x8 and yeah, even x8/x8/x8/x8/x8. X99 will bring a whopping 10-port SATA 6 Gb/s storage controller supporting RAID RST and SRT and SSD TRIM on RAID 0 configurations.
Network connectivity shows two gigabit Ethernet interfaces and Wireless LAN 802.11 ac WLAN. There is 8-channel onboard audio with Crystal Sound 2.

I like the looks of it
Still it would be interesting to see the manual on that board, it really doesn't look like much space between those slots if you want to run 3 cards, like SLI+physix or tripple cfx

It is always exactly 2cm between a single slot. So it's not any difference with any other MB. Some might have empty slots between to save a buck or two, but for users, it's only possitive that they include the option to install more single-slot cards.
A good thing for thoose who likes Raid-controllers, Pci-e SSD's, and/or users with custom watercooling, that modifies their cards to use a single slot.
But then again, it's only ATX. With E-ATX you get another slot, that gives you the possibility to run four dual-slot cards.

True, but it depends on how the PCIe lanes are distributed to know it I would go for it or not
As I don't plan on wasting any PCIe lanes on raid-controllers or a PCIe ssd, nor plan on custom h2o, I'd still be interested to see if it would work with my not so special config then, because I'd like to go Asus.
