Just before the Rampage V Extreme, Asus sent us the X99-Deluxe which made a very good impression. Starting from the elegant black and white aspect up to the excellent performance and overclocking capabilities, the motherboard stands up for its name. After...

Memory bandwidth untweaked
With the release of its X99 product stack, ASUS continues to deliver a fully functional high end user experience. The X99 Deluxe is on its own a unique looking board that brings an added refresh in the looks department. The shroud over the I/O and down ov...
What we once said about the X79 platform now holds true for the X99 platform: If you have the money to afford it, and the skills to make use of it, this is the best platform on the market. Although the ASUS X99-Deluxe is the first LGA2011-v3 motherboard t...
Abstract: The UEFI BIOS is first rate and gives access to a huge range of settings and controls. The auto tune feature bumped our CPU up to 3.7GHz, but we had no issues pushing a little further to 4GHz. The X99 has a cool feature that lets you update the BIOS from ...
Beauty doesn't come cheap. With a price tag of roughly $400, this is not only an expensive motherboard, but one of the most expensive X99 motherboards on the market. At the moment, just three motherboards sit at a price point higher than this one, with t...
The Hardware.Info Price comparison tool at the moment has a total of 30 X99 boards, out of the 30 we have now tested 20 motherboards. This should give us a good view on what is on the market and what are the best choices at the moment. We are basing our...

OC Socket, Voltage (BIOS) options, Great looks, Featurepacked
Nothing worth mentioning
We must confess that when we received all of the information about ASUS' OC Socket we were sceptical at best, tempted to write this feature off as a gimmick that will add nothing to the overclocking performance of a motherboard. We would have been wrong t...

Packed with a variety of features, Strong overclocking performance (perhaps thanks to OC Socket), Highly attractive colour scheme, Excellent UEFI implementation and solid OS software, Highquality audio solution, Impressive accessory bundle
Layout causes interference with three graphics cards and USB 3.0 headers, Black SLI bridge would have been preferable.
The Asus X99 Deluxe motherboard is an excellent combination of worthwhile features, strong overclocking capacity, and attractive looks. Partnered with the powerhouse that is Intel's eight-core Haswell-E 5960X, the X99 Deluxe's performance and feature set ...
Abstract: Another good-looking motherboard is the GA-X99-Gaming 5. Gigabyte has told us it's keen to claw back some of Asus's market share and judging by its offerings so far it's certainly on the right path. The GA-X99-Gaming 5 sits in the mid-range of its current lineup, with several boards above and below in terms of price. ..
