Indeed so, most indeedely! It's sassy AF, hands down. Maybe even the sassies one yet for TR.

Although there is no real argue on the topic, my point this whole time was that this is a 16C/32T platform w/ 128GB RAM and tons of PCIe lanes. This is not something you buy just to carry you over the next 3 months and then ditch it. And when buying for the long run you better buy future-proof stuff.

Then again this board is designed around 'gaming'. (Lulz) They slapped not 1 but 2 Killers. I guess 10GbE was never an option to begin with. :-(
