Choosing mATX x99 motherboard

[VassMaster]

I am building an X99 system with i7-6800k and two EVGA GTX 1080 FTW in the Lian LI PC-o6s case. I'm struggling with the motherboard choice. I need an micro ATX motherboard (X99M). There is an OK one from gigabyte (X99M gaming 5) and one from ASRock (X99M killer/3.1). ASRock seems to have nicer features, but I'm not sure if ASRock is a brand I should trust... I would appreciate suggestions on which motherboard to pick.

ASRock is a brand you should trust.

Asus X99M WS

Great board, and it supports the usb flashback feuture, just in case you need to flash the bios for support of Broadwell-E cpu´s.

There are not a whole lot of micro-ATX X99 motherboards out there -- typically people who bulid a system on the X99 platform wants to take advantage of the extra expansion options (e.g. more SATA ports, more PCI-Express lanes for 2, or 3+ video cards, more RAM slots, etc).

 

As @Sintezza mentioned, the ASUS X99M WS is a pretty good one.

 

Another one you can look into is the EVGA Micro 2 >> http://pcpartpicker.com/product/7q38TW/evga-motherboard-131hee095kr

Now how exactly do you plan to fit two 1080's inside a PC-O6s?

@reaperfang I don't know how, but I'll fit it in.
