ASUS X99 DELUXE (Intel LGA 2011-3) @ techPowerUp

Right before the launch of X99 ASUS had contacted me asking about doing a X99 podcast.  Given that they were traveling around visiting and working with other hardware review sites it seemed like a really good idea.

Sadly, that never materialized however, given what I know about X99 the segment would have been a little boring and more centered on ASUS marketing than tech talk about the new chipset.  All things considered the new X99 boards from ASUS look amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on one.

We take our first look at ASUS's LGA 2011-3 products, starting with the ASUS X99 DELUXE. Wrapped in new clothing, the ASUS X99 DELUXE not only has DELUXE looks and DELUXE features, it also has a DELUXE socket for you to place your new Haswell-E CPU into, with an additional 48 pins.

Be warned this review features box shots showing static bags which are the hardware equivalent of a winter coat and snow pants.  Personally I prefer the bikini approach to hardware photos but that isn't any of my business.  ~kermit
