The ASRock X99 WS-E/10G is a monster of a motherboard. It has more features than you can shake a stick at that's for sure! The main feature of the ASRock X99 WS-E/10G and partial justification for the astronomical price is the ability to team not two but ...
The Hardware.Info Price comparison tool at the moment has a total of 30 X99 boards, out of the 30 we have now tested 20 motherboards. This should give us a good view on what is on the market and what are the best choices at the moment. We are basing our...

One could invite a saying 'the mind wants what the body can't have'. For a number of months and launches, I have wondered why there was a lack of 10GBase-T on consumer motherboards. The simple answer is that the X540 chips, or the Broadcom variants, are n...
Support for 4-way SLI and CrossFireX setups, Support for Xeon Processors and ECC memory, Made with quality materials, Power and Reset buttons on board, Ultra M.2 slot, Dual Intel Gigabit LAN, Easy to use BIOS and software

Color Theme, Board cooling, Price compared to other X99 boards, UEFI, HDD Saver, Easy&stable overclocks, M.2 support
