I am looking at getting an x99 motherboard and 5820K but having a hard time working out which one to get. Requirements would be in order of preference...

Less than £200 (maybe a tiny bit more if worth it)
Asrock / ASUS / GIGABYTE or MSI (Cashback offer on for those)
Nice and easy over clocking (got a H110) maybe 4.0 to 4.2 (4.4 max).
Decent amount of SATA ports, maybe some M.2 stuff for future
Good selection of fan headers
Micro ATX or ATX - I don't plan on having more than 2x GFX cards and maybe a sound card.
Not bothered about USB3.1 but would be nice.

Thanks In Advance :)
 
Hi,

There is this bundle - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...rboard-bundle-20-pounds-saving-bu-020-gi.html - the boards m.2 isnt full speed (10 vs 32GB/s or something like that).


If you want a proper m.2+USB3.1 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...cket-2011-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-542-gi.html - it looks the same as the previous link, but the "p" in the name makes the difference.

£55 cashback with both boards when bought with a 5820k - https://toptechcashback.com/gb/en/pages/cpumb/qualifying

You think I could get both the £70 and the £30 on that gigabyte board?
 
Yes.

Two different promotions, the Steam voucher is Gigabytes own promotion and the cashback is some Intel thing.

effectively same overclocking potential, at least on air.
I have, atm, an Asus X99-A and Deluxe, they both use exactly the same setting for my 5960x to stable at 4.5Ghz 1.207v.
I also extended the test with MSI X99S Gaming 7, it needed exactly 1.207v to pass 1 hour real bench stress test just like the Deluxe or A.
I would imagine the X99-E would be the same.
