This has got to be the best board Asrock has designed in a WHILE. It's like they iterated based on every single user complaint from the previous X99 model.
No idea what the card on the left side is, but it looks like the VRMs are on a vertically-mounted card. (Unless that's an M.2 adapter that can also take a DIMM-based Optane drive?
)
Also, since this is Socket R4, it should be able to use the same coolers as Socket R3 (LGA-2066 and 2011 v3, respectively), and looks like it requires the narrow mount seen on the previous X99 board.
I love ASRock. This is absolutely insane and mostly pointless but they did it anyway.

I wonder if Bitspower will make a monoblock for this also? It doesn't look doable, because those VRM's look like they are tucking underneath that SATA port riser board, unless one just forgoes that board, and just utilizes the M.2 solely.

I want everyone to appreciate the fact they used a full socket instead of the narrow ILM, thaT's just crazy stuff. Using every square mm of that board to the fullest, this has to be a 10+ layer board.
