ASUS has designed and built a tremendously good motherboard in the X99-Deluxe. It is packed with features that are very likely to be used if you are in the market for the fastest 8 core desktop processor in the world, the Core i7- 5960X. It will overclock...

ASUS has another feather in their cap with the X99-Deluxe motherboard. Not knowing what to expect from the combination of a new chipset, CPU, and memory technology, I went into the review with some trepidation. My concern quickly abated with an easy setup...

Let me start by saying this, it is my personal opinion that any motherboard over the price of $150.00 USD should come equipped with WiFi (the only exception would be a Workstation Motherboard) since 68% of the households in the U.S.A. are equipped with ...
Benchmark Reviews will be providing a performance and bundled software review of this motherboard in the near future. Based on my limited time with this motherboard, though, I do have some thoughts. • I fully expect this system, equipped with 16GB of Cor...
Haswell-E and its X99 sidekick are all about giving users more. This dynamic duo has more CPU cores, more memory bandwidth, more PCI Express lanes, and more chipset I/O than Intel's standard desktop gear. It's only fitting, then, that the X99 Deluxe embo...
ASUS really went all out with the X99 Deluxe and it's almost endless set of features. Not only does the motherboard offer all the latest technologies, but often in multiples. Dual Intel LAN controllers and two M.2 slots come to mind here. The enthusiast...
