Quick review of this X99! Yes, Kaby Lake will be out soon, but it still tops out at 4 cores and a limited number of PCIe lanes. If you're going to need a lot of cores or a lot of PCIe peripherals, X99 is still king.
While this motherboard is like the Taichi, it has a few features to set it apart from the Taichi.
My USB capture died which was the only capture card that could capture UEFI. So the UEFI shots arent great. Working on that.
This is probably the last X99 part we'll see for a while. The X99 refresh brought some cool X99 stuff and this board is really similar to the Taichi from ASRock that I looked at before.
I decided to get a bit nerdy with the power delivery and some of the things I've always wanted to do to see what the overall reaction might be for the audience.
I also tried to relax more than usual for this review. I'm not sure about "the feel" of it -- just experimenting. Also we experimented a bit with the lighting.
Also, going to try to always do a full tour of the UEFI on every board we cover, from here on out.
X99 is, and will continue to be, king for loads of PCIe Lanes and lots of cores.
