do you know if it need a bios update for 6900k because I don't have any other cpus to update

Whatever you choose just make sure it's running a BIOS that supports Broadwell-E so you don't need to worry about updating.

Thanks but do you think reading reviews on newegg is a good idea? about MBs

For workstations, asus tends to have the highest amount of validation. (I silently pray that this is a workstation)

My ASRock Extreme4 X99 is probably the best bang for buck for ATX X99 boards. Yes it has no LED Strip headers and no pump header for custom loop but so long as you aren't looking for that stuff.

Good question. I've got a Haswell-e so I can't tell you about Broadwell-E support

They also sell more motherboards than any other manufacturer, which might explain why OP has seen more negative reviews.

You might want to research some of this information on your own.  I wouldn't buy main components like this without haven't seen myself that it supports what I need.

Form factor?

SATA port count?

M.2 wanted? SATA or PCIe if yes?

Wifi?

Ethernet speed (1 or 10Gbps)? How many do you want (up to 2)?

PCIe and PCI slots?

Are you overclocking?

Do you plan to water cool the mainboard?

Do you want RGB?

Is there any rear IO that you want or need?

What internal IO headers do you want (USB 3.0 or two of them, etc.)

Misc. Features (Dual BIOS, Internal USB-C connector)?

It's a good way to determine if a board is shipping with the latest BIOS.

Nope.  Just motherboard.  No Asus.
