Skylake-X users who won't run three graphics cards and a slot-mounted PCIe x4 SSD simultaneously will want to give the Prime X299-A some extra consideration. It's a good-to-great value among X299 boards.Review$309.99...

Increased IPC performance over previous generation, Competitive pricing compared to the previous generation, X299 platform has matured enough to make it worthwhile since launch, Good overclockability for an 8-core processor
AMD Ryzen 7 isn't far behind, but comes in at a cheaper price point
Putting final words on the Intel Core i7-7820X processor, it's a solid option with an IPC performance increase, as well as clock speed bump over the previous Broadwell-E processors and if you're looking for a good companion for your X299-A PRIME motherboa...

Eighten X299-motherboards later we can at least conclude that we have not come across a single motherboard that is truly bad. What this means is that you can build a properly working and high performing system based on every tested board. Considering the...
As expected the ASUS Prime X299A is a wellbuilt motherobard which comes with numerous features There is a good looking design, which has been kept in black, white and grey Apart from that the PCH cooler come with RGB backlight which can be controlled fro...
Truly unique appearance, RGB customisation & headers, Great overall performance, Arrives with USB 3.1 front header, Advanced features – LED Debug, MemOK, Includes heatsink for M.2, Uses strengthened PCI Express slots, Decent audio solution
Expensive, USB 3.0/3.1 should replace USB 2.0 ports
While the initial release from Intel and their Core-X Series has been met with mixed receptions, enthusiasts who choose to go down the Intel route for the HEDT platform would be well-advised to take a look at the PRIME-X299 A.We really like what ASUS has...
Apart from some overclocking gremlins that are likely just down to the early EFI we used, there's really not a lot to dislike about the Prime X299-A, and the fact it costs nearly £30 less than the ROG Strix X299-E Gaming makes the deal that much sweeter...

Supports up to 18 cores / 36 threads, More PCIe lanes than you're likely to need, Quad-channel DDR4 memory, Compatible with LGA2011v3 coolers, Ample expansion opportunities, Sleek, stylish design with subtle Aura RGB
Some features reserved for premium CPUs, Pricey compared to X370 rivals, No onboard reset button, Software still being optimised
Asus is riding the Core X-Series wave with a wide portfolio of X299 motherboards priced from £230 right the way up to £400.Nearer the more affordable end of that range, the Prime X299-A, at £275, offers stylish looks and a comprehensive feature set th...
