Frankly, the only thing that gives us pause when it comes to recommending the excellent STRIX X299-E is the existence of the STRIX X299-XE. While the newer model might for retail for about $20 more, it might be worth it if the upgraded VRM cooling really improves MOSFET temperatures. Is it worth the price premium? That's up to you, and it depends on what Core i9 processor you're planning to use and whether you're planning on overclocking. Overall though, the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E brings a lot to the tablet, and we very much enjoyed our time with it.

Intel's new Core i9-7900X replaces last year's flagship, but is only the entry-level model in its category this year. Pricing is a lot better too - you can get better performance for half as much money now. If that makes this CPU seem tempting, there...
With the new 0402 and later BIOS I have to say that the X299 platform is changing slowly in a positive way. At default processor settings the load power consumption (while still high) are getting better. This is the same for load temperatures. We ASUS...

Whoa… we've finally arrived. Allow me to reiterate a couple of things said at the outset. First, this is not meant to be an in-depth article, despite the number of benchmarks run. All of these results help paint an overall picture of performance on...
Generally speaking, the first motherboard that we review when a new platform is launched can often be fraught with difficulties. Thankfully, since it has been a few months since the launch of this platform most if not all of the early kinks have been...
