Hands down best LGA2011 previous to the Black Edition?
brand new board with plenty of added dev time and experience that the original never had, the only thing better is the looks, still doesn't out perform the original or add any real features
if they both were released at the same time, i would say they are equals, but since the black was released a couple years later and was unable to really out perform the RIVE, or even have any enticing features other than the color scheme, i think that makes the RIVE the superior board, since its older and can still stand up to it's supposed replacement
Well, I just see them as equals still. I'm not trying to call the RIVE BE superior, just that we're not talking about RIVE being "the" handsdown board. It shares the spotlight. :P
I checked now on your behalf, but it does in fact not appear on pcpartpicker. That's weird. Still, you should google these things before calling bs, seeing as Asus has a pretty nice product page.

I must ask, what in the hell are you people doing for work that enables some of these jaw dropping builds? I want in haha.
It's not always about what job you have, or how much money you earn..
It's about how much money are you willing to spend on your computer.
the answer is
It's not always about what job you have, or how much money you earn..
It's about how much money are you willing to spend on your computer.
as solvexx says, but also, some people dont buy everything in one go, take for example, if you just want a decent gaming rig, who says you need to drop £1000/$1650 on a build in one go, you can buy a part month by month.
Save a bit, buy a cpu and motherboard.
next month, buy some ram
next month, get a PSU
next month or 2, get a decent GPU
as an example that is.
Im not a high earner at the moment, but I built my rig like this, already had a mid end pc, but was patient to do this, also I dont drive to work, I walk 30 min each way XD.

<firewall engineer,
but for most of us it is a hobby, and compared to a $60K car engine, or a $10k stamp or coin, or a boat, or RV or what not, its actually a pretty cheap high end hobby
the biggest problem is most people think computers should only cost $300-600
I suppose this works if you lack the self discipline but it's not the smartest idea. I mean you buy a mobo and cpu first and use them for what, as a paper weight? They are just gonna sit on your table to collect dust until you have enought money to get the last piece. You'll be better off saving some money each month and buying it all together so you get the most up to date technology at the best price.
