ASUS Maximus VIII Impact motherboard pictures:
http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/324506/asus-maximus-viii-impact/fotos The good: - It has the Intel Alpine Ridge controller, so it will support USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s) and Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gb/s) through the USB Type-C connector. - It has a native SFF-8643 Mini-SAS (PCI-e electrically) connector for U.2 drives. The bad: - No Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support, so BitLocker is out of the picture. - No USB 2.0 header...this means there is no interface for the DS Airflow Control board. - Only two on-board fan headers...you'll need to buy the optional fan extension to get additional fan connectivity from the motherboard. - No dedicated water pump fan header as the other Maximus motherboards have. - Only 2x2 WiFi module when other top-of-the-line ASUS motherboards have 3x3 |

Really excited to get a new computer from DigitalStorm - will this board soon be an option for the Bolt 3?
