Posted December 1, 2014 First build, doing X99 in a Refine r4 case. I am not familiar with MSI, is this motherboard okay? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130796 I was looking at this originally http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188161&cm_re=x99_micro-_-13-188-161-_-Product but i noticed the MSI should still fit in my case, it has more ram slots and is cheaper. Can anyone give me some quick advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2014 I have an MSi Z87 GD65 Gaming and it's great. Except the LEDs are all random colors. But not a big deal. Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 2, 2014 They are one of the "big three" motherboard brands (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte), and are good. I have a MSI Z77 GD65 that I used in my desktop and I currently use in my server. It's a great board. 15" MBP TB AMD 5800X | Gigabyte Aorus Master | EVGA 2060 KO Ultra | Define 7 || Blade Server: Intel 3570k | GD65 | Corsair C70 | 13TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
