I'm curious how they could have wired that, i have a feeling the 1x slots may be disabled when the 16x are in use unless they've connected them to the PCH instead of the cpu's onlboard pci express bus

I am almost certain the 1x are through the PCH.



Technically it could support even more (total of 8 PCIe lanes).

It only has 4 slots......  and I dont see any onboard controls (on/off/reset)

I think the best board for the money is the MSI gd70

It has a total of 7 pic-e slots

The buttons are hard to see from that photo but check this one with on the fly OC



I stand corrected.......hmmmm damn, I already have 10 msi gd 70's

I am guessing when it is released, maybe somewhere around 200 bucks.

I wish.

The current model ($379)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128472

If I remember right when this model first launched it was $450+.

Yeah X79 is a new chipset and socket but this is Gigabytes top of the top of the topline model.  You won't even see a refurb OEM going for <$299.

lol not even close. that color and the series name (UD7) suggest that it's a high end board designed for overclocking. it's going to be $400+
