Asus ROG Strix X299-E Gaming

Overview

Price Alert: We'll send you an e-mail if the price drops to $

Frankly, the only thing that gives us pause when it comes to recommending the excellent STRIX X299-E is the existence of the STRIX X299-XE. While the newer model might for retail for about $20 more, it might be worth it if the upgraded VRM cooling really improves MOSFET temperatures. Is it worth the price premium? That's up to you, and it depends on what Core i9 processor you're planning to use and whether you're planning on overclocking. Overall though, the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E brings a lot to the tablet, and we very much enjoyed our time with it.

Intel's new Core i9-7900X replaces last year's flagship, but is only the entry-level model in its category this year. Pricing is a lot better too - you can get better performance for half as much money now. If that makes this CPU seem tempting, there...

With the new 0402 and later BIOS I have to say that the X299 platform is changing slowly in a positive way. At default processor settings the load power consumption (while still high) are getting better. This is the same for load temperatures. We ASUS...

Apart from the Q-Fan tuning in the EFI and slightly slow M.2 speeds, Asus has a solid, good-looking motherboard with a ton of features at a price that's just £10 more than its predecessor, at least in the UK. The M.2 heatsink works very well and Asus...
