Finally got my hands on these babies. The motherboard is temporary though, I'll be upgrading to Maximus X Code or Formula whenever they arrive. Won't be doing any benchmarks because shortage of time, and well, I'm only going to game on this.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. I need to mod the case in a small manner, but the overall looks are satisfactory for now.
Dont mod bro, it looks decent AF, just change the fan at the rear, I know it is acting as intake but kind of looks off, or at least remove the sticker etc. Also can you share the reason why Formula or code will be any better, now a days I feel like expensive boards are not worth much the difference, even for OC and this one is already on the higher end side.

Yeah, I'm going to change the fans sooner or later. As for the mod, it's just to cover up the excess area that's on the right. Normally, the SSD mounts go there, but I have everything under the shroud. Lastly, the Code is strictly for the aesthetic value.

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
