YayDear Oxford English Dictionary, instead of wasting time adding 'twerking', once you see this you'll want to redefine epic instead! Check the spec and engineering pride below and you'll understand that the new Rampage IV Black Edition is the ultimate LGA2011 motherboard, and the ideal companion for a new Ivy Bridge-E (4th Generation LGA2011) CPU.
Though not to be confused with the previous (non-real product) Rampage IV Extreme in black, the official Rampage IV Black Edition is a whole new product you can buy with a full stack of 2013 ROG innovations:
Ivy Bridge-E optimized design
The only ROG with an all-black color-scheme.
SupremeFX Formula [2013] with WIMA and ELNA capacitors, OpAmp headphone amplifier and 120dB SNR.
Sonic Radar software
Extreme Engine DIGI+ III (VRM design)
802.11ac Wi-Fi
12 SATA [8 SATA 6Gbps]
8 USB 3.0
USB BIOS Flashback
2013 UEFI updates, including Secure Erase, Last Modified Log, Quick Note and ROG Pulse (see more on our innovations page)

High end air is a no go on RIVE if you want to use the top PCI-E slot, most users I see with RIVE pair it with a CLC or custom loop.
Since the lanes are all native on the RIVE it probably wouldn't make much difference to skip the first slot if you only have 1 or 2 video cards.
Probably EATX, but they should also have a board which should be ATX and are very similar in terms of features.
Nah, it's definitely eATX by Asus standards. If memory serves me right then Asus' eATX boards are usually shorter than the competition.
EATX is a standard that is not defined by ASUS that this board does not fit.
Two cards would be 16x/8x, not a big deal, but still worth noting.
