how does the Strix this board compare to the Apex? I haven't upgraded yet still planning, was waiting for the Extreme but I saw this Strix XE version today too and thought the active cooling on the VRM would be nice to own so maybe I wait for this one now? So hard to decide, so many MB's now. It used to be much easier, there were like 3 models total for a CPU release 10 years ago, normally just added features on each of the 3. Now they have so many I have decided to never buy right at release again if I can help it.
I like the fact the APEX is suppose to have better RAM performance though. Also the Apex has all the added overclocking buttons on the MB I got really used to with my Rampage V Extreme.
