Hey Guys, 

 

I'm new to the forum but have been a Linus Tech Tips fan for years. I've ordered all of my parts, as seen here, and am wondering what your thoughts are on the ASUS ROG STRIX X99 GAMING Motherboard. I've read some reviews online (recent) of the board's bricking your CPU after a couple weeks/months. I'm wondering what the Linus Tech Tips community thinks about it and if you are currently rocking one could you let me know how your experience has been?

 

Thank you!

Okey then. But I'm pretty sure you had to go with Ryzen.

I'm giving Ryzen a couple years to perfect their architecture ;)

It is perfected, at least to the best of there ability. No offence but it's a waste of money buying 6800k's and up
