So, today I received the Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero, 32gb of DDR4 memory and the i7-6700k.
After putting it into my system I figured I'd benchmark Windows 10 a bit (scored pretty damned high on 3dmark) and then of course went back into Linux to try out some games that weren't performing all that great.
And holy crap! I run Debian Testing right now, everything was detected perfectly (even fixed a weird issue I was having with my Roccat Tyon mouse, I could not boot Linux (Arch or Debian) with it plugged in, it would cause a kernel / CPU bug and reboot). It is FAST. Crazy fast. I went from 32gb of memory and an AMD 8120 FX, which wasn't exactly a slouch, but gnome-shell just seems so much snappier.
Along with my 980GTX, this should be a killer machine now. Anyone know of some games I could benchmark? I believe Shadows of Mordor has a benchmark built into it, not sure which other ones do.
I do find it ironic that the motherboard has 'Supports Windows 10' all over it, but I had to actually use the CD it came with to install the NIC and other drivers, I haven't had to do that in YEARS! Maybe now that they are installed I'll feel the same speed improvements within Windows 10 (I didn't go back after it told me to reboot, because, meh, it's Windows.)
