Sandy Bridge Launch Board Availability

[Castiel]

Is anyone disappointed with the lack of quality boards at launch? No Maximus, No Ws Revolution, No Evga. WTF. I have a 2600K coming but no board. Thanks Asus, Evga and Newegg

there are some nice boards. just not bleeding edge enthusiast quality I guess.

I'm sad by the lack of any good mATX boards. Especially with the P67 chipset.

Oh, and I'm annoyed at Intel. So the benefits of a "K" sku is the overclocking features mainly, but it's also the bump in the integrated graphics. You can't use both at the same time though, which is stupid. Grrr...

There's supposed to be software that will allow you to do so but only with the H67 (or future Z68) as it would require you to hook up your video cables to the motherboard's DVI/HDMI connectors. Since only the H67 is available now anyway, that means you'd get no K-based OC'ing.

just give me a nice gigabyte board with some nice overclocking features, single graphics card slot and i will be happy.
