Why provide a redesign of X99 that STILL has SATAe, a completely dead and useless connector? If there were a SINGLE available device for it, there would be minimal logic to this, but I'm incredulous that a refresh wastes board space and unnecessary I/O complexity supporting this.

The design is probably just a revision of the previous board, and as such it would've been way more work to remove than just leave in.Systab - Friday, August 26, 2016 - link
This MB would be amazing if you could OC the current gen of Xeons while keeping ECC.I suspect this is still impossible due to chipset/CPU restrictions.
So you either can install a Broadwell-E and get OC but no ECC.
Or you can install Xeon E5 v4 get ECC but lose OC capability.
Am I right that you can not OC Xeon E5 v4s no matter the MB chipset ?
