Wonder if that Crosshair VII has heatsinks on the VRMs. It looks like it does, but I could be wrong.

Crosshair VII has the 10 gigabit ethernet too right?

No it doesn't. That misconception was started because the original drives were small and targeted at Intel's shitty drive caching system that only works on Kaby / 200 series boards and newer. They're still just SSDs.
Unfortunately noone makes good mATX mobos, even for Intel.
All core OC at 1.4v will have more like 150w draw from the cores. You should definitely not be pushing R7's to the limit on a lot of the lower end boards unless you're getting some sort of active airflow to the vrm.

it's cool as fuck though.

Is 12 phases enough for the 2700x? Crosshair VII comes with 4+8.
Andrew Baker

I don't really like that about him.
He can search gn all by himself, won't shill for that long haired retard.

Yeah, wish I heard his thoughts on the Taichi before I bought it. Fell for the 16-phase must be good meme. Unless they fix the BIOS for the X470 it's not worth considering over the VII or Gaming 5/7
