You guys talk about socket 2011 . It will came late this year so no point looking on the 2011 now.

My thoughts on the mobo :

GBT wants to promote this mobo saying that is designed for ocers ! LOL!
A mobo with NF200 is NOT for ocers except you are looking forward to 4way sli benching.
No room for comfortable insulation around the 1st pci slot.

They did a really nice job around the cpu socket area . Much room to insulate That's good.
Neuro, these connectors are for extra pcie voltage. You need extra voltage while you're benching 4way sli or Quad Crossfire .

Don't want to see the price of it considering the start price of UD9 haha

Yeah I googled the ATXp1 and saw that. Looks like they are using SATA connectors instead of 4pin peripheral. Wonder what the reasoning behind that is? Maybe 3.3v rail is getting used for something...
