Raja, thanks for the thread again! Do you happen to know if Amazon is getting the RVE or WS anytime soon in NA?

I also had a question regarding the space between the top x16 slot and the DIMM slots in the RVE- is there enough space for a thick GPU backplate (like the active backplate from Aquacomputer) and RAM that slightly extend past the slots (like the Corsair Dom Plats)? I imagine you can't know the dimensions for those items so if you know how much space there is it would be great!

Hello

There is approximately 5mm spacing between the edge of the memory slot to the video card PCB. Hope this helps.

Hey there! Thanks for that info, is that for the RVE or generally any Asus board with 4 way SLI/CF support? This is just about ok for some GPU backplates but not all. Going by your posts, I assume you are affiliated with Asus so I had another question- why stop at ATX/E-ATX these days? XL-ATX is supported by a huge number of cases and offers much better PCI-E slot designs. If you have nothing to do with Asus, then I am sorry

 

[Raja@ASUS]

Would limit sales for us. We design into popular form factors first and foremost.

 

[Attero87]

any plans for a x99 formula?

 

[Raja@ASUS]

Immediately no. In the future perhaps - as these enthusiast chipsets are usually around for a while before the next gen.

 

[dansi]

So Asus X99 lineup will only consist of

X99 WS
X99 RVE
X99 Deluxe
X99 Pro
X99 A?

I want see a Formula that ditches the Wifi/M2/OC/Gamefirst/4 way SLCFX/ extras...
3ways SLICFX and 4xDDR4 slots will be enough.
maybe add the dual cooling VRM heatsinks
and priced it between Deluxe and Pro.

 

[Raja@ASUS]

Yes only these boards - one for each type of user.

X99 WS
X99 RVE
X99 Deluxe
X99 Pro
X99 A

That is all for now.

1-2 weeks likely.

 

[Attero87]

will amazon get the WS board

 

[Raja@ASUS]

If Amazon got the other WS boards then it should get this too (at some point, not sure when).

 

[dansi]

Would you able to share the difference between them?

My layman guess in terms of circuitry is WS, RVE and Deluxe will have the same 8 phase IR design differentiated by different capacitors. RVE and Deluxe/WS will separated by how deep tweaks their Bios can offer.

While Pro and A will likely use a 4 phase doublers. Will they use IR circuits? Pro will have all those bundled extras while A is basic board only. imo A should have been a M (matx)

Not sure how important this is but HEDT do have higher power requirement than the mainstream procs.

Imo, we need a pure good quality board without those fancy extras. Do gamers use wifi?

 

[dansi]

Another thing, Asus support of X79 is very good! Bios upgrades have been satisfying!
Will X99 support be same or the rumors that HDET products are not making as much money and vendors are putting less resources into them are true?

Not true. We focused on key SKUs for this launch for key user groups. There will be the same support we've always provided.

Check the support site and see what suits your needs. If nothing does, you've gotta make a choice on what you can live with/without.

Hello

You're welcome. I measured this on the R5E.

 

[iBored]

A little glitch (i think) during reboot.
Post hanged on "Fb" 3 times and "61" once.
I see on the manual "Fb" is "Reserved for future AMI error codes", so no clue as to what this error is yet?
All errors didn't pop up after reset.

 

[Raja@ASUS]

Is the rig overclocked? If it persists go back to stock and see if it happens. If it is at stock then start unplugging devices systematically and see if you can pin it down

 

[Ajay57]

Thanks for the review on Newegg TV with Paul the Deluxe color looks great!

AJ.

 

[szeged]

Rampage v extreme, 5960x gskill 3000 16gb kit all stock no changes in bios to overclocking

Constantly getting cpu fan error hit f1 to continue.

I set the monitor tab to ignore the cpu fan and optional cpu fan, still getting cpu fan error.

Need some help here before I break something from frustration
