Which X99 Motherboard? i7 6850k

meh? · 6 Dec 2016 at 14:50

Hi

After purchasing a few new pieces for my new build, I am now looking for a X99 Motherboard. My last system was a i5 3570 prebuilt, so I haven't got a clue which motherboard is good or bad.

The parts I have at the moment are:

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX
I7 6850k
32gb (4x8GB) Dom Plats 3200mhz

I have a budget of £500

Thanks for the help

The x99 strix or the rampage edition 10, both are superb boards if your overclocking, if not any of the refresh Asus x99 boards.

Totally agree. Rampage V 10 if you have the funds.

Strix is great and a bargain considering...I came from a RIVE and "felt the upgrade"

Strix - The end

Id vote for the Asus Rampage V 10 or Asus Strix.

Memory can be hit and miss though with some X99 boards.

The Rampage V 10 not fit in my case without modding, I really do want that board but for these 2 reasons I'm put off:

1) Needing to mod my case for it to fit.
2) Will I use the amp? what comes with it as I have no cd drive bays in this case.

I'll have a look at the Strix

Thanks for the help
