It's not in the announcement, but they had one of these for the Ryzen processor too.

I think the gigabyte boards are really sharp.
 
I wonder why all these companies decided to invest in so many different models. What happens if Kaby Lake desktop flops...as it should...and they have to eat a ton of inventory? I have not purchased an AMD processor in almost ten years but even I am waiting to see if Ryzen will be in my next build
 
See all them thar buttons on the side? Yes, them, those are just going to cause you to hit them when you didn't want to. KISS.
 
I'm just curious how these have 'liquid cooling support' over any other mainboard. Not sure how the setup you guys have works, but I simply bolt mine down and plug it in.

I've used gigabyte boards for years now and love them, I'm just wondering where they're going with that one.

This just comes with an EK waterblock covering all the mosfet and power regs, kind of like the high end Asus boards. This prevents you from voiding the warranty if you intent on water cooling the whole thing. Not to mention these are proprietary for each board. They cost from around $60 to $150 so I suppose if full w/c setup is intended then it isn't such a bad deal.
