Does annyone know what the weight is of this board? For shipping purposes?

UPS shows 10 lbs on my delivery

I don't understand why the kingpin omits USB4 (which is basically thunderbolt) when the classified has it? That's a major feature downgrade on a more expensive board.

at the risk of repeating this every time they release boards, the kingpin is an extreme overclocking motherboard. it features a 2 dimm design, rotated socket, and IO designed to accommodate extreme overclockers (PS2 ports and Legacy SATA for running older OS)
 
i realize people will buy this board and complain it isn't fit for their daily high end consumption needs, but the board was built to break overclocking records, not to be the core of a video editing or design workstation. 
 
this gen finally has 10Gbe NICs tho, so let's celebrate the wins instead of looking for every shortcoming, hm?

Cool thnx bro

US order only, what about worldwide?

Congrats over there for the guys at the US!  And for the rest of us, could we get at least some sort of answer about the foreign market?

Glad you guys were able to get your boards.  I ended up cancelling the Asus and went with the MSI board as it was available and gave me 5 onboard nvme slots so I'm up and running Intel again.

A little unboxing of the D4RK if anyone is curious...  Its nothing special, so don't expect a lot.  If anyone wants any more detail etc let me know! Doing a time-lapse of the build I'm doing now.  Slow going for sure.

Two things I'd like to see, would have been nice to have a single USB 4 out for additional GPU out support.  I'll be using two HDMI out from the GPU for VR / Projector, and was hoping to run a third monitor as a small 8" LCD for readouts, may just have to disconnect VR when I want to have it up.  An additional header or two for external temp and a flow-sensor header.  I have an Aquaero here, but im considering abandoning the flow meter etc as I'd like to use the motherboard standalone...
