Have just completed my new build - begun in October 2014 
I managed to go through 4 x99 boards in process
Boards:-
Asus 99-S - first had to go back to Asus problems with USB 3 et all
MSI Gaming 7 - worked flawlessly (just wrong colour- had my heart set on a black and white system - with red ram)
Asus 99-S - replacement fron Asus - worked well until I managed to bend a few pins
Asus 99- S - latest ; installed , overclocked 5820 cpu to 4.125 (125 x 33) with 1.09375v.
2 x 290 XFX (947mhz) - left at standard at moment.
Cooling both cpu and gpu's is custom loop - Photon pump/res combo + Mayhems Pastel white +primo chill white tubing + raystorm cpu block + 2 x aqua computer Kryographics Hawaii gpu blocks (very pretty from below) + xspc compression fittings + 1 xspc ex 360 + 1 x xspc ex 120 + mx4 + 4 x viper fans
Tried a quick blast of IBT - Highest Temp = 60c
Tried a quick run of Heaven - Highest Temp = 50c And highest temp for vrm's was 30 c
Do believe that there may be room for a bit more in the cpu and not even begun with GPU's.
I appreciate that my clocks/build are/is nothing special compared to some of the beauties that you lot build but having bought items between october and December to find it would not play at all when I started to build xmas time to have it finally up and running today ....
