Unfortunately it's just a mockup, Raja@ASUS has stated that Asus currently has no plans for a Rampage V Gene
I'm a big fan of powerful SFF builds but I don't feel that any of the current mATX X99 boards are good enough so I'd like to petition Asus to consider bringing out a Rampage V Gene.
Mostly I just want an updated version of the Rampage IV Gene, nothing crazy and exotic that would require lots of R&D. However I really, really want the ability if at all possible to run the slots in a PCIe 3.0 x16 / x4 / x8 configuration with the 5820K. This would allow for SLI/Crossfire setups with a empty slot between the cards in five slot cases like the 350D. This way the top card doesn't suffocate and it frees up the middle slot for a sound card, PCIe SSD, etc.
Wishlist (assuming all the standard ROG features from the other current boards is included)
- Allow x16 / x4 / x8 lane configuration with the 5820K
- Bundled USB 3.0 right-angle adapter
- low-profile front panel header extension (so a video card in the bottom slot doesn't put pressure on the front panel connectors)
- PCIe 3.0 x4 for the M.2 slot (or at least x2)
- All PWM capable fan headers
- Intel AC Wireless
- Thermal armor option
- The ability to run a x16 / x8 / x16 lane configuration with the 5930K/5960X
