ASUS ROG Z490 Series Leaks (updated with more boards)
Yeah, somebody at ASUS is going to have a problem as the leaks just keep on coming. This round information on the ROG Maximus XII flagship motherboard leaked.
The information as presented by Videocardz show the flagship ROG Maximus XII, omng others. No less than four motherboards can be added ROG Maximus XII Formula, ROG Maximus XII Extreme, ROG Maximus XII Hero (Wi-Fi) and ROG Maximus XII Apex all have a 16 power stage design. It seems Coffee Lake is going to require some beefy VRM. All motherboards except Hero get fitted a 2.5 Gbe network jack. Formula and Extreme also have 10Gbe networking. The ROG Maximus XII Extreme is the only E-ATX motherboard from the ROG series.
Update: more and more slides are leaking, I'll just add them so you can browse though them.

the expense is ridiculous.
even as a tech nerd in silicon valley idk very many people who will buy $750 + mobos for home use. combined with the new (overpriced) Intel cpus any gamer can build a really good gaming system just from the mobo + cpu price.
yeah i know some people will buy but this round of mobos will all be super expensive just from the cost of the power delivery and heat management components. and of course, once you have that level of components, you're not about to put cheap(er) parts elsewhere for fear of a cascading failure.
these may be "halo" parts but the "halo" is getting hollow.

Motherboards have been supporting memory speeds beyond the certified memory speeds of a CPU for awhile. Running faster memory than the CPU is rated for doesn't void any warranties. Only if you push voltages to the CPU do you end up in trouble and that's only if it breaks of course. You'll want to run memory that is faster than the CPU is rated for unless the system is used for more basic computing needs and squeezing out performance doesn't matter.
Anyways, it's just a memory speed rating for the motherboard and it really doesn't speed for what the CPU can actually support that will be found simply by trying.

Why does it support this speed of memory ? If you lose the CPU warranty if you use ?
