Conclusion
At $255 dollars you will be getting a top of the line X99 motherboard that supports the latest and fastest processors and memory. Typically a high end or workstation motherboard are closer to the $400 range but Asus has gracefully unveiled a budget motherboard for the user that requires high processing power. For such new hardware, specifically the DDR4 and thunderbolt, Asus has done an incredible job at unleashing a well performing motherboard packed with features and great looks. Performance wise, the X99 utilizes every ounce of power an Intel i7-5960X had available and was able to overclock it to an impressive 4.5 Ghz with minor bios tweaking and also capable of maintaining stability through an onslaught of benchmarks. Asus’ quality and dedication is shown throughout the incredible piece of technology that is the X99-A. If you are a user who is interested in a X99 system I completely recommend the Asus X99-A, even if its not a high end budget build.
