EVGA X299 DARK, 151-SX-E299-KR, LGA 2066, Intel X299, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, EATX, Intel Motherboard

Pros: -Easy BIOS settings -7900X at 4.7Ghz with 1.2 core voltage -great VRM cooling and I can NOT hear the small VRM fans over my radiator fans -2 PWM 4 pin connectors in the top right so I can PWM control my radiator fans and water pump -No ugly LEDs -Much faster BIOS time than my last board So far I am loving it, no issues, just works

Cons: -24 pin is VERY HARD to unplug -cut outs aren't in the right spot for my case (View 71) -The packaging doesn't feel very high end Other than that nothing

Most Critical Review

Looks great but was a hassle to build in

Thermaltake View 71 RGB 4-Sided Tempered Glass Vertical GPU Modular E-ATX Gaming Full Tower Computer Case with 3 RGB LED Riing Fan Pre-installed CA-1I7-00F1WN-01

Pros: Looks great, and with enough fans and a bios system fan speed tweak it keeps my components cool.

Cons: Since the case is called the View 71 I just assumed it would fit the same components as my Thermaltake V71 case but my E-ATX motherboard (MSI GodlLike Gaming X99) covers the robber grommets for the 24 pin connector and GPU power cables. I had to take out the motherboard and put the 24 pin through the grommet and then reinstall the board, it took more force than I would like but I got it to plug in. I had to run PCIE power through where I wanted to put the radiator (where the drive cages are) a much longer and more noticable run than I wanted. After about 10 hours over two days I actually have it looking pretty good, but it was way harder than it should have been. And it should be more clear that it does not fit all E-ATX boards

Overall Review: The fan controller is easy to set up and use

LOVE IT!!!

Pros: I bought this motherboard after I returned a D.O.A. Asus Rampage V Extreme, and I couldn't be happier. The built in wireless is super fast, I haven't needed to put in my aftermarket card. I have an Intel i7 5930k processor, and a Nvidia GTX 980 Ti graphics card and they work great with this board, super fast!!

Cons: After one week I don't have any cons, I love it
