No LED BIOS code readout, No onboard power/reset buttons, EFI leaves a bit to be desired. PC Health screen doesn't show temperatures
There's not too much to dislike about GIGABYTE's X99-Ultra Gaming, and in fact, I'm having a hard time coming up with a major complaint. It's not hard to find things to like, though, and with what's provided, the board's suggested price of about ~$250 is...
Onboard RGB LED lighting, Headers for RGB LED lighting strips, Two M.2 connectors, U.2 PCI Express support, Sturdy construction
No onboard Wi-Fi (though extra M.2 slot available for that), I/O panel could use a couple more USB ports, Lacks digital debug LED
Loaded with LEDs and leading features like USB 3.1 and M.2 connectors, the X99-Ultra Gaming is a well-equipped, surprisingly low-priced X99 board. Just bring your own Wi-Fi (if you need it), and you're ready to do battle. Read More…...

Lack of Debug LEDs (or CPU/Memory test LEDs), No ability to individually control LED by location, The board could use one or two extra fan headers
The Gigabyte X99 Ultra Gaming is a great addition to the G1 Gaming line of motherboards, and all at a great price! It has support for all of the high end components you can throw at it. An average user can setup this board to max out those components, wit...

It's surprising how fast things change in the global market. Motherboards have been alternating between incredibly expensive and ridiculously cheap as generations evolve. No sooner had we got used to the idea of a great motherboard costing around £200 ins...
RGB lighting all around the board, 32 Gb/s U.2 and M.2 support, New revamped BIOS, Metal shielding on PCIe and RAM slots, Good overclocking, Killer E2400 networking
No clear CMOS, power, or reset buttons, LED lighting is not separated into zones
This board is part of Gigabyte's X99 refresh that came with Intel's launch of their Broadwell-E high-end desktop (HEDT) processors. Since the launch of the original X99 chipset and motherboards we have seen new technologies emerge and other things that ha...
Abstract: Traditionally, the ability to maximize hardware performance has been the primary motherboard measuring stick. And while component optimization will always be a top consideration for power users, mainboard aesthetic has grown leaps and bound over the past...

The X99-Ultra Gaming is an interesting motherboard. It costs $279.99 while the X99-Phoenix SLI costs $339.99, that's a $60 difference for different networking (no WIFI/different second NIC) and a few changes in aesthetics. The X99-Ultra Gaming uses very...
A great option for gamers who want a system that can do extreme overclocking, but don't care for the often times insane prices that X99 motherboards command.(previously published in issue August 2016)...
Presentación exterior del embalaje y protecciones internas suficientes para conservar los componentes, Bien equipado de accesorio, incluyendo extras dispares como pegatinas o un cartel para colgar en la puerta, Diseño en aspecto atractivo de la placa bas,
Presentación interior de los componentes y protecciones en general. Podría ser un poco más exclusivo para diferenciar mejor la gama baja y media de la gama alta, Se echa de menos algún accesorio para guardar componentes sobrantes. Un estuche o una cajita
