Interest-check: Group purchase Z270X LN2 board

[pilu]

I have the "normal" Z170 SOC but the LN2 version interested me, now I just follow the thread never say never with special board, this is a unique opportunity for my opinion

[Fact11]

I'll be in for one too. Thanks.

[Rampagexx79]

Me too

[GENiEBEN]

<250 for a bespoke product (ಠ_ಠ)

In that case, one vanilla, and one with strawberries please.

[Guest Bullant]

I'm down for one too

[Massman]

Just got the information on the minimum order quantity and I think it'd be best if we wait for Z270 ... it's a bit too high

[websmile]

If this means that there will be a Z270, I am willing to wait a while - thanks for the effort nontheless, was interesting to see that quite a lot of people would like to have a Gigabyte 2 Dimm board, maybe this helps with decision to make a retail Z270

But. . . but. . . but. . . . . SevenFourtyThree

voted: Yes, if the board is < USD $250 (excl. shipping)

[zeropluszero]

keen for backup board!

[willemc700]

I have asked gigabyte plenty for this board so if it works this way... count me in.

[Johnd0e]

Whats the min order quantity?

[Johnd0e]

Nothing in response to my last question? Are we not allowed to know the minimum order quantity?

What would be the minimum order quantity ?

Sorry, was on the road last week and every time forgot to reply to the thread. I don't think it's a secret, but I do feel uncomfortable talking specific numbers in public. I was aiming for 100 units, but that's not high enough.

 

It is partially because of Z170 being end of life and the LN2 board no longer being produced actively. So it would require setting things up at the factory again which in light of Z270 coming soon would be wasting manufacturing time I guess.

So, now the task is convince Gigabyte to release a Z270-SOC Force LN2, right?

 

I saw Z170X LN2 at CES and its a absolute beast, anyway retail boards like MOCF are very similar in mem OC Terms but it would be great to have another 2-dimm OC retail board from another brand

[5erveD]

Thanks for the information. Taking this into account it would be wise to wait for the Z270.

So, back on topic.

 

Since I'm not a free sample beggar like some people in this thread and would be buying any such board with my own money, I'm cool with upto USD$250. However, Z170 is dead with Z270 is a few months out.

Maybe if we were all productive, we could provide feedback to OEMs and work together to group buy a board in the Kaby Lake generation?

 

Then again, I'm sure some fuckers will still complain that since it wasn't sold at some local computer store in their remote village, it's not a true retail board and needs to be banned from extreme league and points....

[Guest TheMadDutchDude]

I would also much rather see a board sold for Z270 rather than Z170. I'm sure it won't take much to change the chipset over.

Time to sell my Z170 MOCF?

 

Nope, time to flash a new bios

 

Also I hope a Z270 LN2 board is around the corner would love to have one to add to the collection (X58A-OC and Z97 LN2 here).
