When coupled with the Core i9-7900X, the new motherboards outperform the old X99 platform across 3DMark and PCMark just slightly. Although it's far less expensive, the Core i7-7800X can't stand up to the prowess of a 10-core CPU in 3DMark's Physics test.

Improved efficiency; Improved CPU Overclocking (clock) Stability; Advanced 802.11ad Wi-Fi; in addition to dual Gigabit Ethernet; Includes Thunderbolt 3 add-in card and four-fan extender card

Not designed for 3-way SLI on 28-lane CPUs; Mediocre memory overclocking; Improved efficiency comes at the cost of a minor performance deficit; Expensive

Competition in the desktop CPU market may have been lacking in recent years, but if you've been sat on the fence waiting for the AMD vs. Intel rivalry to be renewed, now's the time to pay attention.

Supports up to 18 cores / 36 threads; More PCIe lanes than you're likely to need; Quad-channel DDR4 memory; Compatible with LGA2011v3 coolers; Ample expansion opportunities; Sleek; stylish design with subtle Aura RGB

Some features reserved for premium CPUs; Pricey compared to X370 rivals; No onboard reset button; Software still being optimised

Activity in the motherboard and CPU industry has hit an all-time high after the success of AMD's Ryzen 5/7 launches and while reception for Intel's most recent Core X Series may not have been a serious head turner, it's great to see the marketplace alive once again!

+ Truly unique appearance; + RGB customisation & headers; + Great overall performance; + Arrives with USB 3.1 front header; + Advanced features – LED Debug; MemOK; + Includes heatsink for M.2; + Uses strengthened PCI Express slots; + Decent audio solution

I had already bought a graphics card, so I didn't want a board that came with one already. This one didn't have one built in, and I'm happy. I used 64G (expandable to 128G) memory, 650 watt power supply, Intel i7 7800, and I've water-cooled the CPU - much quieter than fans.

I bought this board with an Intel Core i9-7920X Processor. It did not work out-of-the-box, I had to update the bios using the specific USB 2.0 port and button at the back, you have to have a USB 2.0 device.

The ASUS PRIME X299 DELUXE is loaded with so many features; it's equipped to tackle pretty much anything.

Wireless AD; Excellent Quality; ThunderBolt 3.0; Tons of Fans and Sensors

No 4-way; Very Complex Routing

This board is top rate i have used it many times in several systems using i7 all the way to top of the line Intel i9 processors. I used the Noctua LS12 cooler , Kingston HyperX DDR4 and SSD drives. Nothing faster.

Good motherboard, runs an i9 7900X without problems. Shame about the ugly appearence.

Good but costly

If the intel I9 is the brain of your rig, then this is the spine for your nervous system. It installed easily and is running smoothly. Deluxe has more ports and Wi-Fi Capability. For me Wi-Fi is not an option and a gaming rig so why add parts I will not need.

1; Quality (sound, layout, build, cooling control, 2; Great mouse controlled bios, 3; Works great with Intel I9, 4; Adds flashy display affects into your visibly open Rig, 5; Turbo Core App

a; No built in video port (if video card has problems, b; Access to internal Sata ports is a little trying (case dependant
