Last week there was ASUS Maximus IV GENE-Z for 12.5K which is an amazing deal for a Z68 chipset but now it is nowhere to be found.

SMC increased price to 12.7K from 12.5K?!

@keith_j_snyder2, if u are getting Gene-Z, multi GPU setup will be a PITA/impossible...
Yes, it can..
Yes, it can..
^^you can use an extender cable. Problem solved.
the gene will be fine for 2-Way SLI/CF with watercooling or using extender cables. It OC's better than the VPro, and AFAIK its intended use is as a LANBox Mobo (for gaming/OC fests/contests)

I doubt Gene-Z can hold 2 GPUs w/o toughing each other...
extender cables. ?
OC part, Gene-Z looses to V-pro..
really? Vpro is better?? can you please show me any proof on that? AFAIK the ROG series has better components than the other series. Sabertooth is almost like the poor man's ROG mobo.
EDIT- BTW you are wrong

Like I said, watecooling or the aforementioned cable will solve your problem. BTW reference design is meant to be sandwitched.

And thanks for the Extender Cable info.. Never knew such a thing existed...
@MegaMind: In your links the V-Pro isnt even mentioned...
I posted Guru3D review which shows the Gene to be better.
You may be correct on the part that it is not as good as an ROG board could be, but you certainly are wrong when it comes to V-pro vs Gene
@Tenida: Well i am talking about overclocking, not the overall package. You missed that in my post. What does as better as mean btw?

Even so, you cant deny that the Gene is the better OCer than V-Pro.
Nice setup btw, although I hate bumblebee (he behaves more like a puppy than a sentient being).
However, accounting for the fact that each chip has its own heat/frequency/clock signature, you could conclude they are even-Stevens
