So there goes the whole story about using Kabylake x as a cheap alternative on x299 while you save for Skylake X. This Kabylake X proc still looks like a useless cpu. So now you buy a motherboard that is limited to only 1 cpu??? Wtf!!!

wow! boards that are spoiled with choices when it comes to the proc to use.. like 1.. LMAO

There is plenty people that never plan to exchange their CPU, and if for some reason you want to get a KBL-X (maybe the most high-end gaming system you could find, I guess. Nothing beats gaming scores of those with their OC potential and Single-Thread power) For that matter, HEDT sockets usually live for at least 2 generations, so there might be a Coffee Lake-X on it later, maybe?

it's like the i5 and i7 5***c ... it seat beween 2 serie and never found it's place.

Why not make motherboards with 2 memory slots like in the "good" old days? Hell, just 1 ... single channel FTW! /sarcasm

Not sure why they chose to support the Kabylake-X instead of doing Skylake-X only boards. At least they have something resembling an ok processor... Though anyone buying an i9 is just wasting money now we are 2 days away from Threadripper 😀
