ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe Motherboard Review
Critical to the operation of a high-end system is its motherboard. The ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe in a high-end part using Intel's new LGA 2066 socket. Features worthy of note include 802.11ad (WiGig) WiFi, an onboard OLED display, and a smart method for cooling M.2 SSDs.
Pros:
- Strong power delivery components with a supplementary 4-pin power connector
- Excellent fan control system with plenty of headers
- Robust UEFI and OS software
- LiveDash OLED display is a unique feature
- Solid RGB LED lighting system
- Strong WiFi solution
- Thunderbolt 3 and U.2 support
Cons:
- MOSFET heatsink is poorly designed for handling Skylake-X CPUs
- PCIe slot layout is inefficient
- especially with the bundled Thunderbolt 3 card
- OLED display positioning is questionable (blocked by a large air cooler)

Immpressive motherboard
This board is great and works amazingly with the Intel i9-7940x. This board is capable of serious overclocking but if you overclock it make sure you can cool it or you'll regret it.
Pros:
- Several reviews I went through before buying this board stated the VRM heats way up
- I have found this to be entirely false unless you are jacking up the voltage during overclocking, then tbh this should be expected.
Cons:
- Haven't really found any weaknesses with this board
- but one thing you need to keep in mind is the screws for the heatsink of the M.2 are very tiny so make sure you have a screw driver that is small enough or you will strip them

This board is top rate i have used it many times in several systems using i7 all the way to top of the line Intel i9 processors. I used the Noctua LS12 cooler , Kingston HyperX DDR4 and SSD drives. Nothing faster.
