Speaking of ROG, I hope to see Asus make some strip am4 boards, the aesthetics on the z270e are sooooo nice.

It is, I'd expect X99 for that price.

Thanks HH for the review. Asus does not disappoint when it comes to quality motherboards.
I did not see temperatures when overclocking that 6700K.
Oh boy! your 6700 sucks when it comes to voltage. 1.392v for 4.8GHz?!!
Touch wood on my previous 4790K and my current 7700K, I have to negative offset them to get to 4.6GHz(1.20v), and 4.8GHz(1.216v) respectively.
