    Just for 3-way SLI, to have extra spacing, and now nVIDIA is getting rid of 3-way/4-way SLI when it comes to authorized builders. I wonder what this means for the Area-51 R2?

    They can start selling sound cards or PCI-E SSDs or something in that 3rd slot... lol....

    Just sucks though, all that engineering for nothing.

    looks like xjkkd to me: no sign of mthrbrd revision
    older 2014 spec mthrbrd being sold to public in & with 2016 cpu?
    brilliant.​
    MSI - who makes xjkkd for the Aliens? - offers newly revised x99s, built to the latest tech & specs: those buyers get state-of-the-art mthrbrd cpu package. New A-51 buyers get what again? Now old hardware paired to now new cpu. Figures. Way to celebrate your 20th Anniversary ...
