MSI's X99S SLI Plus is a $260 motherboard with a $197 price tag. If we believe what its competitors tell us, the company must be losing money on each one it sells. X99 platform buyers able to take advantage of temporary discount pricing ($179) and/or the...

There's even on-board power and reset buttons - something missing from the more expensive GA-X99-Gaming 5...

X99 as a platform has been anticipated for a long while. Putting the fact that every user has access to six or eight cores aside, the fact that X79 has been around for so long and lacked the modern features means that some will happily upgrade despite the...
