This must be in certain regions, as I already purchased and installed the v2 two months ago. Nice card, didnt even activate the fan, the heatsink is enough. Mind you your motherboard must support pcie slot bifurcation already, if it is to support several nvme drives and split the lanes.
Once an bifurcation and nvme boot support mobo bios is updated, there is no issue using the card in older boards as well, such as x99, c612, and any other that meets these requirements.

Is the fan controllable from software or dump temp controlled ?

there is a switch in the back plate of the card, you can switch fan on or off manually , also when already installed in case.

The easiest systems to use this in literally have a hyper16x option listed in BIOS but anything that supports 4x4x4x4 should work. I have mine in an Apex X299 and the BIOS has native hyper16x support.

Check out HighPoint SSD7103. Basically the same thing. I have been using a 7102 for a while.
