x99

Hi all. I'm currently a console gamer, PS5, and have been so forever. However, there are a few FPS titles I cannot get on console that I'm dying to play, Squad, Escape From Tarkov, BattleBit, etc. We currently have one PC in the house which is my wife's photo editing PC and I wanted some...

Hi, I want to buy one of those combos on Aliexpress and I'm wondering about the differences between Xeon E5 and X series. Also whether I should go for X79 or X99 boards. Also considering these points: 1. Whether ECC memory or non-ECC is better ? 2. There is a new combo with 16GB DDR4, E5 2620...

Hello world! This is my 1st post, however I was a regular reader since 2017r. As my old AIO died after about 6 years I've decided to go custom loop with hope that my old system performance can be increased, previously limited by temps. According to EKWB configurator sufficient radiators were...

I HAVE REPOSTED MY POST HERE FROM ELSEWHERE, AS I AM DESPERATE TO FIND SOMEONE WITH A MAGIC BULLET FOR ME, HOPE THIS IS OK! Thanks in advance you clever folk... I know this is referring to pretty old Gigabyte tech now but I have not had a problem with my setup until a couple of days ago...

Hello all, I am normally a console guy but I haven't really been spending any time on my PS4 in a good while now... getting older I guess. However, PC gaming has kind of peaked my interest a bit due to the large catalogue of games available. We only have one desktop PC in the house that is...

Hi All, Thanks in advance for any assistance! I have a GA-X99M-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) that refuses to turn on any more. It was working just fine, but now the best it does is flash the onboard power button orange and let out a weak beep every second. I've confirmed the PSU is good with another...

Hello, My x99 mobo is not showing any error codes when my pc is not starting. The fans don’t spin only the power light flashes once after plugged in. My pc suddenly stopped turning on a week ago and I cannot figure out why. It’s a X99 Gigabyte gaming 5 m mobo. It’s not posting error codes so...

Hi All, As per the title my Asus X99-PRO doesn't keep its BIOS settings if I switch off at the PSU or the wall. First up, it's not the battery at fault. I've replaced it with a brand-new, tested Panasonic battery and the result is the same, switch off at the PSU and everything resets - except...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting an X99 board for the 5820K and see some pretty wild pricing with some good prices and others being really expensive. Looking at the X99 Strix Gaming, Gigabyte SOC-Champion and MSI XPower Titanium. Which would you recommend? I know the platform isn't the latest...

A long time ago, I purchased the 8Pack X99 bundle which included the i7-5820K, 16GB,AIO and Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P. This particular board has been nothing short of a nightmare with black screens, boot loops and going faulty quite often. Recently, I RMA'd the motherboard with Gigabyte via OCUK...

Hi, I currently have an X99 system with the i7-5820K, 16GB Quad-Channel RAM and the GTX 1080Ti. The air cooler has worked beautifully but it's a tight squeeze to install the GPU in he first slot (EATX). In theory, I could opt for another X8 slot, but isn't ideal. Also, I'm using the Evolv ATX...

Hi, I recently sent off the 5820K to be repaired and looking to find a cheap X99 motherboard instead of going Coffee Lake. I'm having trouble finding hem at decent prices, lot of sellers are wanting up to £250 for an old board without warranty. I could try B Stock on OCUK nut it might not come...

Hi, Recently, my i7 5820K stopped posting and has been tested on several motherboards. It's just under warranty with Intel so I could get it replaced. Saying that, the X99 motherboards are difficult to find and models such as the Strix X99 Gaming can cost around £250, which seems a bad...

Hi, My computer has recently developed a couple of problems. It has started unexpectedly crashing, sometimes while playing games, other times when browsing the web. Temps are fine and I can't seem to recreate the issue intentionally - it happens randomly. Also, one more than one occasion, when...

I built a new X99 system (specs in signature) in August 2015 based around a Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5P and it had been running great until about 10 days ago. When I tried to switch the PC on after a normal shutdown the night before it just wouldn't boot or power on at all. After trying all the...

Hello everyone After months of trouble with my Asus Rampage v extreme ..i finally decided to take my build to a pc shop who have diagnosed that my motherboard is to blame and i need a new one. I am no computer specialist however i did build my x99 system myself and it has worked like a dream...

I know the X99 chipset has been out for a while and was wondering when a replacement is due out ?

Hey chaps & chapesses! So I've been planning this build for around 2 years now (build date kept on getting pushed back for financial reasons) and come next month I'll finally be able to afford all the bits I want! Wooo! I'm looking to get a pretty high end build suited for pretty much...
