Has the top end board been revealed yet? For comparison, I have an Asus P9X79 Pro, which is one step below the Deluxe and its not even in the same high end category of the other, more expensive Asus X79 boards and this one has served me well. It overclocks just as well as the others and that's my main concern really. The more expensive ones typically have more features, bells and whistles etc, all of which I have never needed or found myself wishing I had. Maybe the VI Hero is the one for me then. I'm so turned around shopping for an AMD board. I have no idea what is what in terms of branding or anything.
I still think a LOT of people are holding their breath to see how well these things OC. That is so important, but with a boost of 4.0 it should be a pretty decent OC I'd think. I hope.
