I want it now, I'll swap my Rampage II for the III:D:D:D
 
Now thats sexy. I want one!
 
I don't care for the prices considering you can get similar features on other motherboards for around a hundred bucks less. I guess black and red costs money. :ohwell:
 
i guess the the Maximus III extreme is way overpriced for a P55 board ... :shadedshu
 
yeah way overpriced, and it doesnt even have full X16 lanes, pfft looks like im waiting till they drop
 
Looks to be a very good board and other reviews I have seen back this up

Price is the major down point in my eyes but it was extremely liked here: http://tinyurl.com/y2nr6z2

Yeah ... retro stule rulezzz. You could drill 4 goles around CPU to get proper mounting for LN2 container. :rockout: There was planety of free space without curcuits. For slot cpu's you could just put GPU-like cooling. Good old times.
 
I'm happy with my Rampage II Extreme. Don't like the III
 
Only reason for these boards is Quad SLi GTX480
