we previously looked at the a2s zenith board 4x 399 if you haven't seen that video check it out now we're looking at the X 299 board the Intel Board for the upcoming skylake accent kb lake x DP use this is a flagship they have plenty of other x 299 boards on display we'll have some of those in the article below we're going to focus on this today for the video before getting to that this coverage is brought to you by Corsair and their new Vengeance RGB LED memory kit you can find out more on the link in the description below the kit comes with hand-selected ICS or better overclocking which will benefit these platforms going forward so let's get through this board first of all X 299 here's new LGA 2066 socket we've shown this a few times now with gigabyte MSI at least one other vendor at this point we have the two sets of four dimm just to clear this up again to make sure everyone is on the same page guy like X can use both K be like kb lake X cannot so KB Lake X will use one side of the dims and only the right side typically the others will go unused that's just because the architecture is really a refresh of KB Lake but with the new socket type so that cleared up two sets of four dims the power design we think is an 8 plus 2 it's an 8 plus 2 phase power design I don't know the components so can't really comment on that unfortunately though we do have it for most the other vendors so 8 + 2 2 per side and moving on from powers design we can go look at the actual power which in this case is an 8 + 4 for the CPU fairly standard it for these boards right now and then there is additional power input down here in ammo like which we saw on the zenith as well and that's for your GPU power which helps remove some of the load through the PCIe slot if you end up with a scenario where it's drawing too much power out of spec to this slot or something like that or if you're just overclocking a lot so that's what set up there for other things like storage there's a standard set of Stata they have you - slots are becoming more common now finally normal USB 3 and then a whole bunch of i/o the i/o includes 10 Gigabit Ethernet so that's kind of noteworthy you get 10 Gigabit Ethernet on the board and then there's also wireless ad which is also noteworthy AC is kind of old news now looking at the most obvious piece which is going to be this plate in here whenever they call it marketing words the plating is somewhat translucent so you can actually see the mock-up trace design with the LEDs on it that's kind of neat and then you have your gigantic chipset cover which is largely aesthetic at this point the chipsets obviously not anywhere near that big other than this stuff MDOT two devices can be mounted on the board under there right for one and then you can also mount to the DRAM card so you see this extra slot over here you've got four four and then one that's not for memory that's actually for an add-in card where you mount to m dot 2 SSDs on it and something HTS is head out for awhile now you can check that out really on any retail if you're interested in learning more so I think that walks us through all the key components on the floor that we can talk about now I do not have a price and I would price on any of the X 299 stuff or on actually dynamics up we do have a sort of tentative release date looks like July for this one so keep an eye out for that we'll probably be looking at some of these boards in the near future but that's really that's all I have for you for now on the rog rampage 6 extreme as always you can find more information link to the description below in the article if you want to help us out patreon.com/crashcourse nexus thanks for watching subscribe for more i'll see you all next time you
