So the question is simple... What features would you have? How would it look? Anything else that you can think of you can add.
Relax and have fun, any idea you can think of.
MORE SPACE!!! I just got my micro atx mobo and it is really cramped. I know it is micro for a reason, but even the big ones have more capabilities and thus there space is taken up also. Just a thought
LGA2011
ATX
White PCB, red connectors/ports.
Ports: 6x usb 3.0, usb 3.0 header, 2 usb 2.0 headers, 2 usb 2.0 ports, thunderbolt, thunderbolt header, 2x eSata ports, 1 ps2 port, intel game first 2.0 network controller intel gigabit port, 3 pci-e 3.0 ports, 8 4pin PWM fan connectors, 3-4 built in temp probes, Debug LED, MemOK button, onboard Start/reset, 6 sata III 6gb/s ports, 2 SATA II 3.0gb/s ports. BUILT IN WIFI, ITS DAMN CONVENIANT.
Features: Onboard sound would use the asus redline concept and SupremeFX IV + the DTS connect audio system(Including audio caps), EUFI click bios, OC genie, support for 2400mhz OC memory, quad channel, nichicon capacitors, Fan expert, USB Boost, AI charger, USB Bios flashing, Fusion Thermal Cooling system for the VRM (enables water channels, ASUS feature), processor backplate, memOK.
A white PCB, with black accents, and pretty much all the features on my UD3H maybe a few of my sata 2 to be sata 3 and to remove the unused headers and put on nice looking heatsinks
Nice! Ideas
My motherboard would look a lot like the Asus ROG products:
I would have a
-Gray PCB, with Red and gray/black accents throughout the board (on the VRM and chipset heatsinks, RAM slots, and have black Pci slots)
-6 Sata 3 with onboard RAID 0,1,5,10
-A heat-map of the hottest spots on the board
-Any speed memory that can be updated to faster speeds through BIOS/ UEFI update
-Click UEFI with complete voltage regulation (cpu, RAM), and full overclocking (Multiplier, FSB, Hyper Transport Bus, ect.)
-Dual bios chips with physical switch
-All the normal internal headers (3 usb 2.0 headers, 1 usb 3.0 header, 1394 header, P/Sdif, Audio, TPM, Front panel headers in the same color coding as the Gigabyte Boards)
- One 24 pin power, one 8 pin cpu power and one 4 pin header for extreme sli/ crossfirex
My motherboard would be EEATX.
Look alot like the Sabertooth Z77 in terms of everyhting is shielded and cooled, except with liquid.
The PCB would be matte black and the shielding on the front would have some sweet red/black animations.
UEFI Dual-boot BIOS.
Intel Z77 chipset.
6 SATA 6gb/s internal ports, and 3 ESATA ports.
Realtek ALC889 onboard sound card.
Japanese High grade capacitors.
Hand tested off of manufacturer.
2 Thunderbolts.
As many PCIE 3.0 slots as possible.
8 DIMM slots.
would be height of xlatx, but width of eatx, have like 14 sata ports, 4 pcie x16, with pci and pcie x4's spaced in between. plenty of usb 3.0 and e-sata. 2x 10 gb/s NIC's, and a wifi NIC. lga 2011, double 8pin power. a legit asus sound card built-in. oh, and plenty of PWM fan controls
Mine would be an E-ATX board with every expansion slot being a PCI-E 3.0 slot (all of them running at X8 when populated), 8 DIMM slots, an LGA 2011 socket, 8 external USB 3.0 ports, 2 internal USB 3.0 ports, 6 internal USB 2.0 ports, 10 SATA III ports all using the same RAID controller, SATA auxillary power, a PS2 combo port, gigabit ethernet, DVI just in case a graphics card fails, the best power phase design money can buy, dual 8-pin CPU power, and a full cover water block already installed. I'd say really high quality onboard sound, but I'd probably be able to get better sound out of a dedicated sound card anyway.
As for color scheme...I'm thinking either orange and black or green and black.
Oh soooo many ideas.... I'd like a white PCB so it'd be UV reactive. I was also wondering the other day, why do we keep messing around with SSD's when RAM is getting so cheap? I would like to see a PCI slot or something fast to the right of the 24 pin connector where I could add a daughter board full of RAM slots that were bootable and powered all the time so I could install 256 GB of RAM and use it for my OS and programs..... Does that even make any sense? Is that why we don't use RAM for an OS drive (because it would lose the OS when we power our systems down)? I'm talking out my ass here, but that's how I come up with my best ideas! Or, how about a sideways PCI slot below the SATA ports? To add a RAID card there, and keep the other PCI-E slots open for video cards. LEG-OATX anyone? Leggo my Mobo!! hahaha, I'm funny.
id go all black with white and silver accents
Yeah, that's the main reason why people don't use RAM disks. If you ever turn off your computer or if you lose power, then you'll lose all of the data stored on the RAM. If you're looking for a compromise, you could always go with a PCI-E based SSD, but those can be pretty damn expensive.
Id just get a mini itx am3+ board, integrated graphics comparable to a r9 270x, just ultra compact. Dual bios. 4 ram slots. And most importantly dirt cheap. Like about 400$. That we'd just about make ur average ps4 and xbox one killer.
SSIEEB
Lga 2011v3 dual socket.
8x USB 3.0, 2x thunderbolt 2x 10Gb LAN
A decent on board audio DAC and amp and 7x PCI-e. (with an auxiliary power connector)
