With ASUS monetizing its exclusivity as being the sole supplier of a Xeon W-3175X-capable client-segment motherboard by selling the ROG Dominus for1,550€, it was only a matter of time before other motherboard makers came out with halo products of their own. GIGABYTE unveiled the C621 Aorus Xtreme, and it's nothing like the board the company supplied to Intel for its 2018 demo of the W-3175X. This monstrosity pulls power from as combination of two 24-pin ATX and four 8-pin EPS connectors, conditioning power for the CPU with a gargantuan 32-phase VRM that's cooled by a large aluminium heatsink that covers not just much of the upper part of the board, but also the I/O area, and much of the board's tail end. It also takes in two 6-pin PCIe connectors to stabilize power for the PCIe slots. The massive PCH heatsink extends to meet up with the VRM heatsink on the other end. GIGABYTE didn't reveal pricing but this monster is not going to be cheap.

    I would like to have EVGA LGA3647, similar as SR-2 Classified.
    Overclocking ready, with 6x 32GB 2666MHz, total 192GB. 
     
    But I continue to wait DDR5 standard and than to upgrade.
    These kind of boards are for buyers of EVGA SR-2 and system continue to serve you 5-7 years without need for upgrade.
    EVGA prepare LGA3647 as well.

    Better than what? ASUS Dominus. 
    Noooo, it's not better, it's never better than ASUS ROG.
