Went looking and couldn't find a Club thread for X299(WTH?!?!?). X58, X79 and X99 all have Club threads, so no time like the present for X299! This thread was created for everyone to join in discussion about anything X299 in general. I'll go first!!
My Gigabyte X299 board died(a few months ago) so I had to decide if I wanted to go with Threadripper or get another X299 board. Betting you all can guess the choice..
An ASUS WS X299Pro
Wanted to go with AsRock, but couldn't find a board model with 22110 NVMe slots(my SSD's are 22110 models), so I "settled" for this ASUS model.
Testing revealed that the Gigabyte board took the CPU & RAM with it. This is something I did not know when I bought this new board. I might have gone Threadripper otherwise, but oh well. Everything else seems to be fine(tested in a separate system). So a new CPU and RAM kit is also on the way. Will update when they arrive.
