Asus Prime X299-Deluxe Motherboard
When coupled with the Core i9-7900X, the new motherboards outperform the old X99 platform across 3DMark and PCMark just slightly. Although it's far less expensive, the Core i7-7800X can't stand up to the prowess of a 10-core CPU in 3DMark's Physics test.
Pros:
- Improved efficiency
- Improved CPU Overclocking (clock) Stability
- Advanced 802.11ad Wi-Fi
- in addition to dual Gigabit Ethernet
- Includes Thunderbolt 3 add-in card and four-fan extender card
Cons:
- Not designed for 3-way SLI on 28-lane CPUs
- Mediocre memory overclocking
- Improved efficiency comes at the cost of a minor performance deficit
- Expensive

Asus Prime X299 Deluxe
So I mentioned it in my initial Intel coverage but I should probably bring it up again here. Most people are used to Intel's mainstream boards that are, even at the highest end, limited by low PCIe lanes and chipset features.

ASUS PRIME X299-A Review
Activity in the motherboard and CPU industry has hit an all-time high after the success of AMD's Ryzen 5/7 launches and while reception for Intel's most recent Core X Series may not have been a serious head turner, it's great to see the marketplace alive once again!
Pros:
- + Truly unique appearance
- + RGB customisation & headers
- + Great overall performance
- + Arrives with USB 3.1 front header
- + Advanced features – LED Debug
- MemOK
- + Includes heatsink for M.2
- + Uses strengthened PCI Express slots
- + Decent audio solution

Asus Prime X299-Deluxe Motherboard Review
The Asus Prime X299-Deluxe is a great well-rounded motherboard. Thanks to the Kaby Lake-X processor, overclocking was much better than we saw with Haswell-E and there seems to be plenty of headroom to go further. I was quite impressed by the 5-Way Optimization's overclocking ability.

Three Stars
Good motherboard, runs an i9 7900X without problems. Shame about the ugly appearence.

Great features, nothing I didn't want
I had already bought a graphics card, so I didn't want a board that came with one already. This one didn't have one built in, and I'm happy. I used 64G (expandable to 128G) memory, 650 watt power supply, Intel i7 7800, and I've water-cooled the CPU - much quieter than fans.

If the intel I9 is the brain of your rig, then this is the spine for your nervous system. It installed easily and is running smoothly. Deluxe has more ports and Wi-Fi Capability. For me Wi-Fi is not an option and a gaming rig so why add parts I will not need.
Pros:
- 1
- Quality (sound, layout, build, cooling control, 2
- Great mouse controlled bios, 3
- Works great with Intel I9, 4
- Adds flashy display affects into your visibly open Rig, 5
- Turbo Core App
Cons:
- a
- No built in video port (if video card has problems, b
- Access to internal Sata ports is a little trying (case dependant

Eventually works with i9
I bought this board with an Intel Core i9-7920X Processor. It did not work out-of-the-box, I had to update the bios using the specific USB 2.0 port and button at the back, you have to have a USB 2.0 device.
