Asus matx x99 workstion

As this is intended as a workstation mobo does that make it less or more suitable for desktop gaming, folding, benching, video encoding, high end play thing, or are there other boards more suited to that role?
Yes my next purchase has to be matx.

That Asus M2 speed does look slow, EVGA do a board with 32gbs M2 transfer speed but I've no experience of their boards how do they compare with Asus?

So 2 x sli with the fast M2 is possible on the EVGA?
That would meet my needs.

Yes I've read of those issues this afternoon.
I'm water cooling so think I will get away with cpu slot clearance issue.
Not to worried about the internal usb issue and I believe there is a workaround.
People seem to trust evga and there is now a uk rma centre I believe.

That m2 issue has put me off the Asus board and its pricey.

Asrock was good enough for 8 Packs Lan build so it has to be worthy of consideration but I do like the plainer colour of the Asus and Evga boards.
