It seems this motherboard is nowhere to be found. Checked everywhere online....zero. Anyone know of a secret stash somewhere?
 
That's the Revision 2.0 board. I can find those on Ebay, Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc.. I'm looking for the new Rev2.0/Gen 3 board. It is no where to be found.
 
I never liked adding those 3rd party chips to an existing motherboard. They just add cost and the typical performance overhead from installing a frankenstein 3rd party chip negates and supposed performance benefit you could get from PCI-E 3.0. It's just a marketing checkbox IMO.

PCI-E 3.0 x16 is just the same as PCI-E 2.0 x8 on the native chipset implementation.

Yep, a PLX PEX 8747 splitter to cheat the unknowning.

Yeah, kind of like Sandy Bridge. ASUS was just late to the party. Not like its a big deal for the "unknowing". It was a very limited run motherboard and is no longer in production.
