GIGABYTE
X99 Gaming G1 WIFI

X99 SOC Force

X99 UD7 WiFi

​

Ps.All x99 motherboard have similar feature,I’m only interested with msi X99S Gaming 9 AC,it have a Streaming Engine,it will reduce CPU and GPU overhead from software capture, which can reduce frame rates in games and overall system performance.MSI is the first Manufacturers that combine a Streaming Engine in motherboard,maybe it will be a trend?

Ps..About USB3.1…X99 series not support USB3.1…CRY….

Ps…Why some X99 board are M-ATX board?X99 will goes for top gamer or pro user, but M-ATX have less extension…so….X99M is…...
(if anyone have other x99 board info,welcome to share for all viewer,glad)

I don't think anyone has much real info other than me, and well, I can't say much right now. It's so hard to not say what I know...but...


I must wait.

Nothing wrong with m-atx boards. Maybe some of us just like smaller form factors.

what about the rampage V extreme?

Thx for share,I already updated the List.

Getting close to selling my R4EB and Golden 3930k that does 4.7GHz @ 1.328v.

The ASROCK x99 Pro has better specs than the Rampage V Extreme, so looks like I will be getting the Rock Pro.

The problem with these boards still, is the the PCI E layout. Ideally you want your two cards as far apart as possible, e.g. first slot and last slot. However you can't use the last slot because it hangs over the edge of the motherboard and blocks access to the case pins (activity led, power, reset, beep speaker etc.)
If you shift it up to the third PCI E 16 lane, then you block access to the PCI E 1x/4x for your sound card. And additionally, sometimes the first PCE E 16 is too close to the CPU socket, leaving you no room for an aftermarket CPU cooler.

I know people have triple and quad GPU setups, but can't someone make a board specifically for the best two card GPU setup, giving you adequate space for your GPUs, CPU cooler and a single sound card slot?


I'd give a big kudos and probably all of my motherboard business to any manufacturer that gave physical dimensions of the PCI E lane portion of the board. The Gigabyte UD7 looks as if it may just be tolerable, but it's cutting it close using the third PCI E.

Well I have the asus deluxe...if you have the 5820k then xfire/sli goes pcie 1 n 4 which still give space for the bottom and leaves middle open as well. I thought that pcie x1 cards can be used the x16 slots? Can't they?.
When I get home from work I'll post a pic

Dip switches to switch the pci- e lane order would be awesome.

Has EVGA started supporting crossfire yet? Cuz I kinda like the classified and if it's anything like the X79 dark it should rival the RVE while being 100$ cheaper.

EDIT: Evga supports CFX they just don't advertise it.

I don't know, never tried.

Agreed, it would be helpful to run our cards in any position and sequence we choose, instead of it defaulting to the first PCI E lane.

Well doing a lil research, pcie slots are interchangeable for the lack of a better word. So you can use a pcie x1(4) in an x16 slot.

Well that is something then. Unfortunately I have decided to not upgrade this time around. I'm just not seeing the need to move from Sandybridge to a new CPU yet.
I guess I am holding out till NV Link designed chips/boards become available.

when sandy only supports pcie 2.0 and 16 lanes max?

Your 2 x 290s would love the pcie 3.0 @ 16/8 or 16/16

You may be right, though there's lots of debate about that. Whatever loss may be occurring is not significant enough in my eyes, for me to build a new system(and by new I know it's not a WHOLE system, but motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler and RAM is pretty pricey for a few frames).

my feelings exactly.... just imagine an 8 core quad sli (2 dual gpus) matx BEAST! or an 8....core....itx.....(faints)

I wouldn't mind a small X99 Micro build with a 5930k and 2 next gen GPUs in SLI all in Fractal Node 804 or Corsair 350D.

I have a lot of interest in AsRock Extreme6/WS or MSI Gaming 9 or 7 though.

EVGA makes some of the most bland looking boards!

 

[broken pixel]

I decided to stay with my R4BE and 3930k. No need to upgrade after reading the benchmark data and my e-penis is already a substantial size without going x99 so soon. :●)

 

[mlee49]

Picked up an Asus Deluxe, 5930k, and a set of Corsair dominator 16GB 2800MHZ kit.

Any benchmark requests? I would like to baseline my 970 with 24GB 1866 vengance pro.
Cenebench? 3DMark? What else?

Match this:

No, until NDA for the full platform expired. I didn't have signed NDA with Intel, but still gotta respect that I know it exists for a reason, even though I wasn't subject to following it. Also, this whole socket thing with ASUS is a bit odd, couldn't talk about that, but can now. My X99 DELUXE review should be up later this week, just working on finishing G.SKILL 3000 MHz DDR4 review right now, while testing the EVGA MICRO. Gotta edit pics for the DELUXE, upload, and write it still, maybe a day or two until complete. Memory review is done, just gotta do my conclusion and upload my graphs.

maximum ram clock would be interesting if you don't mind the time required to do that

Hopefully he'll hit 3333. But I dunno, Corsair didn't send me any rams, so I am not sure how well they scale. I got G.SKill and Crucial only.

Will you be posting the memory tonight by any chance?

it needs to have some time in our proof reader's hands before it goes live, but yes, I'll be done my end of it later this evening for sure.
