New ASUS X99 Motherboards!

[@paulshardware]

The 5th board that we didn't talk about is the ASUS ROG Rampage V Edition 10, we didn't discuss it very thoroughly at the time and only had pictures from the website to show so it got edited out. I think that board deserves more than a quick mention! :-D

[@gamingwithegoon]

FINALY PAUL! god dammed waited so long for this vid

[@ROllieHorne]

when will someone make a video about this mobo?!? I'm dying for your review!

[@JediSoulfly]

You kind of look like Angry Cat. Smile yo!

[@ROllieHorne]

+JediSoulfly what? me?

[@Skott62]

Nothing for the mitx platform? Something to compete against Asrock's x99 mitx mobo would be nice.

[@robtoe2]

JJ is among the best manufacturer reps out there.

[@JCTiggs1]

Total agree! Hopefully ASUS is paying him appropriately!

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Agreed!

[@i_am_djent]

Totally Agree!! 👍

[@MrTVintro]

Can't beat FractalJosh though.

[@robtoe2]

Fair point. He is a character.

[@slayerwasco]

This video was delightfully light-herated and fiarly pleasant to watch while remaining informative. idk why but i really enjoyed this haha! Keep up the great work, Paul!

[@gregowen3496]

What I want you to cover is what devices can be used together. If you plug an M.2 DDS in, does it shut off any U.2 ports? If you run SLI, can you still use any PCI-E lanes for storage? The manuals aren't super clear on how this breaks down.

[@NuarStanger]

I would ABSOLUTELY like to see JJ do the new Asus product introductions with you! This was an awesome, very informative video! Thank you.

[@frankmoolah]

JJ is a pretty cool guy. He may not remember this but a couple yrs back he looked into an issue I had redeeming a warranty for an Asus monitor I bought. I didn't even expect him to respond to me in video comments. Much respect

[@MichaelBivinsMichaelFixIt]

My two tech pals together always warms my heart! ASUS is #1!

[@ClubinInsomniac]

This reminds me of the good ol' times of Newegg TV. In the limited time they share on screen, Paul and JJ are like the John Madden and Pat Summerall of PC broadcasting.

[@_Randwulf]

Always happy to have JJ EXPOUND on hardware and you Paul, do a good job of keeping it concise and on point. For many of us, in case you haven't noticed, SMALLER is the future and I for one would like to see more Mini-ITX & Micro-ATX boards...

[@alaskanhybridgaming]

Hi Paul, I really like the x99 Deluxe II. Thank you and JJ from Asus for taking time to make great videos.

[@andreix86]

Yes Paul, I want more JJ in the future. JJ is never enough. He always puts out there the most important things you need to know about ASUS products.

[@nicholasyork6101]

Love these videos!!! tons of useful info......maybe next time have him in there during a live stream to give some people a chance to ask questions directly, that'd be cool.

[@ashishparmar5314]

for the strix board decals... GOLD!

[@feedbigotstothepit]

love it i got the deluxe II, I just love watching reviews of it. 5 stars here. thanks paul.

[@ion337]

JJ rockin' it, great vid. One thing I find missing from a lot of MB reviews is a look at the IO shield. With such emphasis on aesthetics and lighting, it'd be nice to have a brief look at that.

[@VikingDudee]

I have the x99 Deluxe, Its real nice board with tons of features. Was able to get my 5820k to 4630mhz on that board with 1.32v, couldn't do that with the MSI board I had I had for awhile.

[@rar679]

Really great vid nice pacing and Jj went over all of the things I'd want to know, U.2 at the end there finally. awesome stuff

[@motoryzen]

YES, keep bringing J J by with every new product launch from Asus. It's simple. He KNOWS his product.

[@alexsorensen2000]

You know a video is going to be interesting with alot of information when J.J is in it.

[@yugoprowers]

Yeah you, and J.J. work well together. I would like to see more of these videos.

[@frogchaser]

Very informative! I have the first gen x99 deluxe and it's been really great so far.

[@mnmumul]

1) Will those decals be sold separately? Id kind of like to stick one on my case. 2) What's the word on smaller form factor boards? These have cool features, but lots of people either prefer small builds or (if you're like me) don't have the space for full size ATX builds.

[@bsodmike]

Hi Paul, does the Sabertooth Tuf X99 fall into your 'suck' category, being an older board? If so, why exactly? I just did a build with that same board + 6850K, 32gig Quad-channel DDR4 @ XMP, GTX 1080, a 950 pro NVMe etc.

[@bradleyshrader8102]

Great information, but I really wish they had some lapel mics. My headphones broke recently, and I had to put my speakers at 100% to even come close to hearing what they were saying.

[@gabegabriel6234]

I just bought the A-II, it will be here tomorrow! So this video helps a lot...

[@DarkVigor1]

Really enjoyed this. Always great having AJ give his overviews. To be honest I am probably looking at a 6700K so I was curious if there will be new strix boards for z170 or more likely not until closer to kaby lake?

[@JoeCool882]

Paul + JJ from Asus that's what KZbin is all about. Double thumbs up.

[@nathansamson8911]

JJ is the man. Running my x99 strix board with 6800k, upgrade from z97. Wish I could find a 1080 in stock somewhere...

[@MarvinCarterJr]

Always love hearing from JJ

[@SonicCaliburS4]

I await the new Sabertooth....

[@3ric585]

Me too

[@גלשוויצר]

I doubt it will come out, nothing mentioned on their website or the internet. I guess I will buy the deluxe ii instead

[@TheKaziishan]

Proud owner of Z77 Sabertooth & Z97 Sabertooth Mark S...waiting for an AM4 Sabertooth...

[@correzzana1992]

Wild JJ appears with a bunch of mobo's !! Man this motherboard videos are my favorite :D

[@SCARSAC]

JJ, we all love you man!!!

[@ccoddington]

Keep JJ coming back. Love me some Asus motherboards.

[@DaveBoxBG]

No one is using SATA express. Give us more M.2 ports that are also in place where air flow can be directed better for cooling. (vertical or some other way where they do not get heated by the MB)

[@reallunacy]

Is it just me or is one of the PCI latches not lighting up? Is that faulty or intentional?

[@gamingwithegoon]

think its a fauld and its funny bcause i whatched the newegg vid and i guess they uszd the same 3 boards :p

[@zarokaleon4974]

I would love some purple LED stuff, OR even purple accents. I have all purple LED fans in my case now but I wish there were more options. This is why I am so thrilled about RGB, So I can make them whatever shade I want

[@derekmead5758]

At the start of the video you mention how for people are only looking to game to stick with the Skylake 6700K but when you start getting into higher end gaming, such as 4k and running more than a single GPU won't the lack of PCIE lanes bottle neck the cards performance?

[@Jolinator]

JJ is great at selling asus hardware however asus doesn't support their boards worth a dam, they will leave you with beta bios and faulty software all whilst happily making a newer board to replace it, case in example rampage black iv, left on a beta bios with faulty sound drivers.

[@pandatech8754]

It's a shame JJ doesnt run Asus, JJ is amazing, Asus customer support sucks cock tho

[@johntotten4872]

great video Paul as always. Always enjoy when JJ comes on the videos. More JJ please!!

[@machinesandthings7121]

I do really like it when JJ shows up, so much info. I would like to know more about the U2 connector; looks abit like mini SAS? Can you run a break-out cable like SAS to multiple drives?

[@EscapeFromPost]

Do they have new customer service that works?

[@zExoRandArcade]

Looks like JJ lost some weight! Keep up the good work Paul, and JJ. i've been watching both of your content since paul put his 1st vide out at newegg. :)

[@ManishMadahar]

I wanted to see Rampage V Edition 10 X99 motherboard. JJ or Paul could one of you please do a walk through of that motherboard.

[@fungalcoffee]

I kinda want to see a micro atx version of the x99 strix

[@dylansands2627]

+EDGE UP oh fuck off that board sucks ass and you know it

[@ryandang7065]

What's the difference in performance between Asus ROG and Asus Signature? Other than aesthetics and more of something like overclocking.

[@1979osos]

Well to be honest, i have built an x99 system with the rampage v ( first motherboard blew up and got exchanged). It was an expensive build and the most problematic and bug infested build that i have ever experienced in my life, it made me lose confidence in Asus motherboards. I don't know if its the x99 platform, or if this video simply confirms that the previous Asus motherboards were simply put EXTREMELY bad that they had to come up with new ones to gradually give up on product support for the last gen. I have went through hell with my new system and i will think a hundred times before paying for a top tier motherboard from Asus. Not to mention random issues like blutooth not able to pair (randomly), loose audio caps, extremely unstable overclocking (system overclock failed bios screen at multiple events even with bios auto tuning). The list just goes on and on. Asus x99 rampage 16GB DDR4 Ripjaws Asus strix GTX 980 (SLI) Samsung 850 Pro Windows 8 through 10 (problems in all versions)

[@aymannofz]

do you think that these new boards offer better performance than z170x botherboards? i know that they support much powerful cpus but this is the only step that these boards have in advantage over the z170x chipsets.what do you think ?

[@exokillmen1352]

paul im diggin the strix board. could you do a budget vr build? Dont realy care bout looks for now (budget) I value you opinion because you don't blow smoke! thank you for keeping it straight for us

[@SteinerSE]

Hottest Asus X99 def the ROG Maximus V Extreme edition 10. The one I'm eager for though is the X99-E WS refresh.

[@litesawse]

those boards look so nice. perfect colors.

[@SuperThest]

It's kinda weird how they're just in his garage together…

[@karymwillemsen5564]

Paul how could you forget to mention that these new boards allow double the amount of memory size bringing it up to 128 gb

[@nathanstephenson7917]

Paul, was JJ mic'd? He is really really quiet in vids, like his isnt on. Great comparo of the x99 boards for those looking to spec out differences between the new models.

[@andrew39454]

Disappointed with the X99-Deluxe II PCiE. Why Asus design the PCIEX16_3 share bandwidth with M.2 and U.2_1 while most people insert their 2nd graphic card at PCIEx16_3 and want to use up all the 16x lanes for best performance. Why don't just design the PCIEx16_4 share bandwidth with the M.2 and U.2 as the slot normally will be block by 2nd graphic card located at PCIEx16_3 and not in use.

[@Lazyboy51]

Surprised they didn't add blue decals... please add them! can you remove the decals and program them blue?

[@robsdeviceunknown]

ASUS has always been my favorite. Looking forward to building yet another system with there components. Been thinking of my next mod to feature ASUS. yes, I'm a fan boy.

[@ilhammohd3077]

yup and asus is way more better than msi

[@vladdyboy2612]

+MHD. ILHAM. Well MSI is still a good alternative especially now when gigabyte's quality has dropped significantly

[@danamccoy6171]

I hope that means your going to review the ASUS ROG Rampage V Edition, that's the one I've been waiting on, I have no complaints form my old one.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

I have "The bumblebee" The MSI X99S MPOWER Overclock Board. I choose it for its superieur audio. No regrets. Sounds great with my Marantz Model 1070 Amp from 1977 and my Philips 3 way speakers from 1978. bought it in 2014 and will be my main rig untill 2025, than I will retire it into a Vintagr server high tower case and up the 32 Gb to 128 and replace the i7-5930K with something with more cores.

[@SteinerSE]

Fan profiling and control isn't exactly problem free though. FanXpert 3 keeps flipping controller mode to DC for my all PWM setup and can't control the fans below 63% despite being perfectly controllable from 25% (using other software).

[@kforce2011]

Paul im in a real dilemma right now! Can I boot my operating system from a single Samsung 950 pro using any of these new boards shown here??? I can seem to find the answer!

[@DisneyKidsFunToys]

Hey Paul, I want to build a new video editing machine with some good punch to it. I edit with Adobe Premiere, After Effects and have the whole CC suite. (Did I mention I hate render time.) Anyway, I have build my own computer in the past so the physical part doesnt scare me BUT I am way out of the loop as far as the individual pieces are concerned. I have been putting in some research time and picked out some things but would love your input to see if you think they together well or suggestions on some changes. (cut a little here, beef it up there, etc.) Just found your channel today and love it! Subscribed and thanks! Here are the parts so far: Case Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 Motherboard Asus X99 A-II Processor Intel Boxed Core i7-6850K Power EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 Ram 32GB G.Skill DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz Ripjaws V SSD Main Drive Samsung 850 PRO - 512GB SSD Scratch Drive Samsung 850 EVO - 1TB Storage drives WD Black 6TB GPU ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Heat sink Noctua NH-D15 (water cooled freaks me out a little) Operating sys Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

[@Aw5252]

So to get the power of my graphics card through a thunderbolt 3 connection, do I have to route my graphics card through the motherboard? And which x99 motherboard would support that?

[@TheRangeControl]

Nice shirt. I love the "Shout out". RAZE THE WORLD!!!

[@hosseinalmet]

In term of performance and features, I don't think the new boards is that much different than the 'old' X99's. What they do is add a USB 3.1 type C to the board and change the them color, and some lighting effect. For example, the new X99A Gaming pro Carbon gives u a USB 3.1 type A and some mystic lighting, but takes away the Cinema 2 sound system, replacing in its play the not-much liked Nahimic software.

[@il2xbox]

11:00 ASUS please tell me if you plan on making those front panel USB 3.1 panels available in Canada? I can't find them anywhere right now, if you start selling them in Canada I will buy one immediately.

[@RadioactiveLobster]

I'm running a Rev1 version of the X99-Deluxe with a 5930k. Nothing here that is worth the upgrade currently.

[@SomeoneInCollege]

Hey Paul, I'm thinking of getting into an i5 or i7 cpu soon; with the new cpus for x99 I am considering in that vs the z97 or z170. I want a good price to performance/features/quality setup with overclocking ability looks good, and perhaps upgradeable, etc.. Do you have a recommendation for a reasonably priced setup?

[@dave_dennis]

How long does it take for the DELUXE II board to POST? I have the Z170 Deluxe and I am very unhappy with it because it takes about 1 week for it to even POST.

[@stuwright87]

novice question time, and in that nature its not specs improvement based. Is it hard/impractical to have the 24pin socket pointing towards the front of the case instead of pointing up, I dont think I have seen any boards do this. Small thing but it would make those hefty cables look a lot more subtle

[@KKLD]

Is it possible to run your computer in idle with the fans completely turned off and under load have them spin up gradually according to a user-defined fan-curve if you plug them all in the motherboard?

[@Stephxn]

I'm building my first pc and I'm not sure what cpu I should get I was thinking of getting an i7 2600k mobo and ram combo which would allow me to get a gtx 980ti or an i5 6600k with a r9 390

[@Mega_Arrow]

I was thrilled when I heard about the refresh, but I was disappointed when there was no X99-E WS refresh with a PS/2 port. Damn it, JJ XD

[@nynty5]

I need a full UEFI go over with JJ for the new boards with B-e chips. I have 6900k and the Asus x99D2. As always great video!

[@johntotten4872]

+paul's hardware Quick question Paul. if I were to get a 5820k and use on of the new X99 boards would it require a bios update or anything or just put the cpu in and Im set?

[@gamingwithegoon]

thinking about picking up the asus x99 strix with a i7-6800k any opinions?

[@FredPalmerJr1]

Well alrighty then. Paul. I've been trying to locate those G Skill Black and White Memories.. With no luck as of yet. If you could post a link as to where to get them,. That would be well appreciated. Thank you.

[@james2042]

he talks about all of these ad on's and purchased separately items and I have been waiting for over a year to be able to buy a fan extension card. ASUS make good products, if you can get your hands on them...

[@randallherreraNyc]

great vid .. just picked up the strix

[@JamesSimpson83]

Still deciding between Strix and Deluxe II...

[@Ethanhall100]

Is the only m.2 on the deluxe that vertical one? I would like to see 2 of them, or at least one that is in the normal form factor, as that can be awkward and not as good looking.

[@WolfMactavish141]

Guys, I'm looking to build my first gaming rig and I'm currently looking for a Skylake motherboard. my budget for the mobo is 150€ which is around 170$. In your opinion, what's the best motherboard for this price range? I'm not going to SLI in the future so there's that too. Other info I can give is that the gpu is gonna be a GTX 1070. Thanks for your time and help

[@Contractor815]

Since you're not looking for multi-GPU support, you'll save quite a bit. If you're not overclocking, consider the MSI B150M Pro-VD, which retails between $60-90. If you're overclocking, consider the ASRock Z170A-X1 which starts at $92.

[@ChessBoxin]

I looked up these boards on newegg and they seem to have a lot of negative reviews (even as of recent). Are they just not good longer term boards? I see people saying 3-6months its gone bad. Obviously its not everybody but avg rating on Amazon and Newegg are so bad. I want to match my 6850k with something future proof and longer term. Can anyone suggest anything please? MSI? Gigabyte? Asrock? which boards are actually best bang for buck?

[@Seductus99]

Almost all motherboards have negative reviews. Unfortunately, we hear only about the few people complaining about stuff including the weather! If people are satisfied they usually don't review it.

[@depecheddurand]

i have a question i have z97 asus sabertooth mark 2 ,do i have to upgrade that MB or its still good for gaming ? i have intel core i7 4790,gtx 1080 ftw ,32 gb ram ?

[@newteknix5691]

I'd really some advice on building a render computer. Can you do a build video for render software like maya/bender under 3k?

[@TNovix]

Is the X99 only compatible with i7 cores or can they work with i5 as well?

[@sobhababu3097]

TNovix 2011-v3 processor

[@atheran]

All those new toys and I still want to get a X99-E WS/USB 3.1... Can anyone convince me for a newer motherboard since the X99-E WS is supposed to be discontinued? I see nothing with as many PCIe slots that also is not blinky or with stupid colours that has support for all this ram etc. The only thing they could have added to this board is metal brackets in ram/PCIe slots like they have is some of those here (deluxe) or an m.2 slot more. Although i could use one of the 7 PCIe's for m.2 I guess...

[@amitojsingh2967]

you can turn all the led effects off can right or can it not be turned off???????

[@hanstollo]

Hey Paul, My X99 Deluxe Revision 1 just took a dump and took my 5930k along with it. Intel was amazing and is already sending me a replacement processor. Asus on the other hand is a nightmare to deal with. I had a similar issue with their X79 Sabertooth a year and a half ago. I've only used ASUS in all of my builds throughout my entire life but I'm getting to the point where I'm losing faith in their quality control and customer service.I waited on hold for over an hour today and was then hung up on. When someone finally answered they told me they won't even RMA my board and only gave me the option to send it in for a standard repair. They say it has a 3yr warranty but advanced RMA is only available in the first year. 3 yr warranty is misleading. Assuming i just chunk it and buy a new board (I have no faith in Asus Support after they sent me broken replacement products in the past), what other brand do you recommend? I really want to like the new X99 Deluxe and Strix but I'm not sure that I trust them. The Strix is already getting meh reviews over @ Newegg. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Which board would you choose primarily for gaming and video content creation? Please put these new boards through their paces if you have time. Thanks, love the channel! Best, Stollo

[@tinderbox218]

On two of the boards I notice that not all of the PCIe slot plastic clasps are lighting up. Is that deliberate or are the example boards faulty?

[@harpersneil]

Strix MOBO looks amazing but I don't think I'll be using the PCIE lighting.

[@james2042]

its an all or nothing lol. aura isnt that good.

[@gintokisakata6481]

Guys intel xeon e5-2650L will match with this mobo right? and what do you guys think about this cpu if i try use RX 480 CF? is there better than 6700k or the 2650L will have big bottleneck?

[@michaelkosciesza645]

Can you turn off all the LED lights on the Deluxe II ?

[@brendanyam6298]

I have a feeling that the line between gaming cpu's and xeons is becoming quite blurred especially with the 6950x

[@gamingwithegoon]

has been for some time

[@gamingwithegoon]

FINALY PAUL! god dammed waited so long for this vid

[@neccros007]

Any recco's for slightly cheaper X99 boards than these?

[@motoryzen]

Hehe, as usual, J J KNOWs his stuff by heart. That dude is a walking almanac for Asus products.

[@TheeDon323]

Can I stick my i7 4770k into a x99 deluxe II board?

[@Brandon-cr9if]

Can you do a review on Thermal Pastes for X99 workstations?

[@MrFattington]

Will the fan extension card be sold on its own?

[@alexandsimba]

Hey Paul, do you know if Jay Jay is worried about being replaced with robots for zero errors?
