Soc champion for sure. Best board by far for the money for overclocking x99.

That open box one would be a good deal, open box means nothing should be wrong with it at all.

I think someone watched Linus's VRM video..  :D

 

With X99 you'd be hard pressed to find ANY board that doesn't have top quality VRM's due to the amount of power the 2011-3 chips draw.

What you do come across is whether you want 8 phase or 12 phase power delivery, both of which depend on what sort of overclocking you're wanting to do.

 

In saying that I have a MSI X99a Gaming 7 motherboard which is a 8 phase design, and I can still get my 5820k to 4.5Ghz stable with no problems.

24/7 I run it at 4.2Ghz (due to the weather warming up here in OZ) which is still a mighty step up from the 3.3Ghz stock  ;)

You will be surprised, but there have been quite a lot of problems with some X99 boards. The early revisions of the Asus X99 Delux boards were known for spontaneously catching on fire because of some issue with how the BIOS and the power-delivery was made. People have reported heat-sinks just randomly falling off from MSI X99 SLI boards due to their poor quality. So yeah lots of problems were reported over time, especially in the beginning of X99. Even though most problems seem to be fixed, I would still go with this one ->  http://m.newegg.com/...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds if it had to be a board under 250USD. 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 - 3900x @ 4.4GHz with a Custom Loop | MBO: ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme | RAM: 4x4GB Apacer 2666MHz overclocked to 3933MHz with OCZ Reaper HPC Heatsinks | GPU: PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT | SSDs: Intel 660P 512GB SSD and Intel 660P 1TB SSD | HDD: 2x WD Black 6TB and Seagate Backup Plus 8TB External Drive | PSU: Corsair RM1000i | Case: Cooler Master C700P Black Edition | Build Log: here

But it had nothing to do with VRM quality, with Asus it was a BIOS issue, the motherboard would spontaneously increase the CPU voltage to insane levels during a boot which would kill the CPU.

Yes the early MSI X99 Sli boards had a HUGE QC problem, but again not VRM related, and like you said most boards being sold now a second revisions with USB 3.1 a lot of the earlier issues are fix.

But again it still has nothing to do with VRM quality as OP was looking for a X99 board with good quality VRM's,

I was just pointing out that all X99 boards are using good quality VRM's so asking that question is really not going to get you a good board, it's the other features/issues you look at  :D

 

(Still think the question stemmed from Linus's video, I've never seen anyone ask it before when looking for a motherboard..lol..)
