Hey guys,

 

i need your help.

I am looking for a x99 mobo for my new build. I will use a i7 5820k with a H110 GT cooler and want to oc it, but not too extreme since it will be my first oc.

 

As for GPU i'll get a 980 ti and don't plan on using SLI.

 

i don't need wlan or bluetooth and the sound is not important as well since i got a Ausus Xonar D2X from a friend for free, so i'll be using that.

 

So i would be very thankful to you guys if you could make some suggestions which is the beste mobo for this particular use. 

So i don't need any of the high end motherboards i think. 

So which entry level mobo would you recommend and is the best bang for the buck?

All x99s will have the same performance. OC is CPU dependant on CPU, not mobo (at least in this case).

MSI X99 SLI PLUS is by far my favourite one. All blacked out :D

Asus x99s is good.

What are you trying to point out there?

The x99 sli plus runs away with the budget segment of x99.

as you can see on the picture. Mosfets on the back of the board.

Yes, i wouldnt buy a board with mosfets on the back of the board.

The potential heat is way higher because of this bad design.

Which theoretical could make this board not last long, compared to other boards without that "feature xD".

Come on bro. You don't know what you are talking about. You are just trying to stretch whatever little piece of dust you can find, to try justifying your personal bias as actual fact, instead of just bias. Regardless, it still remains what it is: just an opinion.

well if you ever had a dying board.. you would take care of such things.

Why going a risk with a bad design if you can choose a good design for some more $ and feel safe.

BECAUSE THERE IS NO RISK AT ALL! That's what I'm trying to say.

 

If we were to go by that logic, no one should ever OC, even a single mhz, because "there is a chance" that the CPU / GPU has a micro failure that will cause it to end up burning. Or that one shouldn't ever pass airflow through components, as there is a chance that static electricity will gather up and end up frying something. Or that AIO WC shouldn't exist: a leak can happen and destroy your hardware. We shouldn't use fans - they could ressonate with something and cause catastrophic failure.

 

See what I'm getting at? All of the sentences above fall into the same line as yours: it has the potential to happen, and if it does, it could cause problems. Yet, one shouldn't worry about that.

I really like my Asrock X99X Killer. All of the asrock boards are pretty solid IMO. Asus and gigabyte are good generally too, but I know some of their earlier x99 boards had issues, though they may be sorted out by now.

I just built a X99 system and went with the MSI X99a Gaming 7, it's a little more expensive than the MSI X99 SLi Plus, but it doesn't suffer from the Sli Plus's short comings.

Yes it's red a black, but still a nice board.

 

Here's a review:
