Does any one know if the impact vii will be compatible and bootable with NVMe SSDs? I ask because it sounds like there have been issues getting some SSDs to boot from some M.2 drives and I wanted to make sure my plan wasn't fundamentally flawed like NVMe doesn't support booting or some such.
I wanted a M.2 drive in a mini itx case with a PCIe x4 connection and the impact vii seems to be the only one around...
The Z97-i supports it so I would expect the impact to. If it doesn't at launch a BIOS update will sort it out.
no is pcie 4x for the impact 7 onlyI think the Z97I is limited to PCI-E 2x, though.
Minor Update/Audio Chipset finding!
According To Hardware Canucks The audio chipset for the Maximus VII Gene is Realtek ALC1150 based. If we do have the exact same audio as the Maximus VII Gene then this part of the review is pretty relevant to us and gives us some insight of whats to come!!

Like the majority of other boards that have external antennaswi-fi connectors have no bracket, they screw into the i/o shield?! How do you do that once the mobo is in the case?
You have to do the same for the VI ImpactNo, this mobo is different. Wi-fi connectors are not pre-mounted on a bracket. You have to screw them into the I/O shield after installation, and that seems very difficult or impossible in some cases.

Please show us why you say it is different from the Impact VI.
I didn't mean the the features of the motherboard, I meant what's different about installing the wireless antenna on the Impact VII and Impact VI ?

How do you know it's not pre-mounted for the VII Impact ?I never mentioned Impact VI. I'm comparing with mini-ITX mobos in general that have wifi connectors pre-mounted. If you mentally rehearse the installation, you may notice that mounting the loose wifi connectors will be very difficult or impossible.
That's my point: I've read no complaints about installing it on the Impact VI, which uses the same type of install apparently. You make it seem like it's such an impossible or hard task, while it is not.I never mentioned Impact VI. I'm comparing with mini-ITX mobos in general that have wifi connectors pre-mounted.

i am waiting on this board and no release date yet. why?
It's different in a number of ways. New chipset, updated audio solution, M.2 support, updated voltage / electrical design etc.
It has also improved a little:

If you don't care about the upgraded audio and power deliverance, than no, not worth it.

I hope this version really improves on the audio problems with popping
