Lighting
The Aura lighting on the Gene is as impressive as it has ever been. Whether that is the central placement of the Gene logo, or having less physical PCB to light up, there is no denying that if you want a little sparkle in your case then the Maximus XI Gene has you covered.
Whilst you wait for our full review of the Z390 Maximus XI Gene let us know your thoughts in the OC3D Forums.

I love small form factor builds. Imagine this puppy in Hex-Gear R40 with some nice tubes, and fancy cables. And i still don't know why mATX hasn't becoming a standard. ITX could be expensive to make, because you are cramming a lot of stuff into small space. mATX is just right. It doesn't have to be this high-end, but decent VRM, 2 RAM sticks, all the connectivity, one PCI-E. Joyous. This is what 90% of the "regular" builds have.
I have a question for you Tom. Do lanes for dimm.2 m.2 drives both come from CPU? It says in the manual that 2 on board come from PCH. That is clear. And when you connect first one on dimm.2 PCI-E is switched to 8x. But nowhere is stated how the second one on dimm.2 is connected. It seems wasteful to have one connected to CPU lanes and other to PCH, and not use 4 perfectly fine CPU lanes. If you can't answer it now because of NDA, can you please check it for main review. Tnx.Quote

I guess my Gene VIII just got the boot from home...
Had hoped they would revive the Gene and Impact (guess not so for that little one), look forward to the full review Tom and all.Quote
