It packs a huge punch, but its so tiny at the same time :)

EVGA is giving finishing touches to the X99 Micro2, is latest socket LGA2011v3 motherboard, in the micro-ATX form-factor. The board is characterized by support for two USB 3.1 ports, including a type-C port. Most of the feature-set from the original X99 Micro, is carried over. This includes a 10-phase CPU VRM, three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (full-time x16/x16/x8), a 32 Gb/s M.2 slot, with NVMe BIOS support, making up its expansion area. The board supports up to 64 GB of quad-channel DDR4 memory. Storage connectivity on the X99 Micro2 includes ten SATA 6 Gb/s ports, apart from the 32 Gb/s M.2 slot. Other modern connectivity includes two USB 3.1 ports (at least one of which is type-C), six USB 3.0 ports (four on the rear panel, two by header), 8-channel HD audio with ground-layer isolation, and a headphones amp; and gigabit Ethernet. EVGA didn't announce pricing or availability.

Ok, so x16 / x16 / x8 with 40-lane CPUs like I hoped. But the board can't do that and run 3.0 x4 on the M.2 at the same time, those lanes are shared withe one of the PCIe slots so the question is which one?

New X99 BIOS's tomorrow, adds 16GB DIMM support, which means up to 128GB of Memory :eek:

Or 64GB for the mATX here :D

Honestly, if there is new X99 Classified v 2 in July or August I will shoot & hang myself as I just awaiting arrival of current Classified.

New Classified is COMING 

KingPIN says SOON when I asked on Facebook  I sense he is testing one out as we speak 

I would say very similar to the revision of the Micro like the single slot latches on the RAM would be one of the big changes other than USB 3.1, M.2 NVMe and w/e else cosmetically.

There should be a BIOS update for the X99 series to handle up to 128 GB of RAM. 

This looks like perfect lil Storage server board load it with hdds a CPU with built in gpu and my sheild Pro I'm set for one potent combo.

One guy build very nice RIG with X99 Micro and Obsidian 350D.
I send him message because this picture to ask him something about graphic card speed but he didn't answer me still.
When I saw picture I start to read little more but later he explain that he remove Sound Card and leave onboard. 
That's what I afraid....probably because speed of graphic card. But maybe graphic worked on x16 and maybe is something else reason why he removed sound card...
 

 
That's why such motherboard need always one little slot for sound card and.
 

Yes but if someone have good sound card, many people used on nice sound. 
Example I love my Sound Blaster Z. I bought that in time when I need Sound Card because Realtek.
For my Z77 FTW and similar motherboard aftermarket sound card is welcomed. I can't explain difference.
If developers design game nice, you clearly hear every difference, wood, metal, grass, you nicely hear drop of water.
And it's much better for movies off course.
I thought on this slot... I have same on Z77 FTW...
Some manufacturer install and two of them, but one is enough...
 

I believe that sound chip on X99 Micro is competitive with other boards.
It's OK people could choose, if someone want new features USB 3.1 can go on Micro 2.
If someone want 2 graphic cards, good Sound Card, M.2 could go on Classified.
Even EVGA X99 FTW I think support M.2 with some PCI-E M.2 x4 adapters.
I have feeling that new Classified will be one reliable motherboard. 
Importance is and durability. More people want to keep boards 3-4 years and use 32-64GB slover DDR4, example 2666MHz.
EVGA boards in most case when everything work on beginning stay reliable several years.
I'm glad because people start to interest again for EVGA boards, at least X99 and Z87/Z97 series are better than Z77/X79.
That's most important.
 
If someone see pictures of new Classified should post immediately.
OK she will look probably same, but some difference will be visible.

Vlada, your point and translation has struck a dead end once again with all due respect.  You always jump from one thing to another and are all over the place.  We're talking about the X99 Micro board with its features and 3rd party sound cards while the Micro has its own built in sound since you brought this discussion in that direction.    Now you're talking about other MBs with their own features which is irrelevant since the main focus is of this titled thread.  Again, please stop going off topic as you're very notorious of doing so on other threads and if you can't understand the thread, than just read and listen.
 
Thanks

The M.2 is 32Gb/s according to TPU: http://www.techpowerup.co...011v3-motherboard.html

Yup.

What are the chances that this board will be available to buy in Australia in July?

According to TechPowerUp the v2 keeps the same x16 / x16 / x8 lane configuration with the 40-lane CPUs as the v1. The main question is what effect the M.2 has on that.
 
I used slot 1 and slot 3 with the v1 and dual 980s and it worked just fine:
