Review: MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC
This MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC will come with nice PC options like 8-pin EPS connectors, a 7+2-phase VRM design for the processor and memory, five PCI-Express x16 slots . There is an extra EMI shield that covers the rear-panel I/O on-board, and audio is shielded as well. The board comes with a Killer E2205 gigabit NIC and 802.11 AC WLAN. Storage wise you will get ten SATA 6 Gb/s and of course an M.2 slot (PXie x4 linked this HEAPS of bandwidth).

According to these lines from the review, it doesn't say that you can do that:
I agree with you, I would want Tri-CrossfireX at x16 / x0 / x16 / x0 / x8
But none of the listed configurations above use that third PCI-E slot. Does anyone know if you can do x16 / x0 / x16 / x0 / x8 on this board?
Alright, this is the board to go for for Tri-SLI, as it allows all three cards a bit of breathing room with one slot free between them. The others are out, as they would force sandwiching the cards.
According to these lines from the review, it doesn't say that you can do that:
1-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0 / x0 / x0
2-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0 / x16 / x0 or x16 / x0 / x0 / x8 / x0
3-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0 / x16 / x8 or x8 / x8 / x0 / x8 / x0
4-way mode - x8 / x8 / x0 / x16 / x8 or x8 / x8 / x0 / x8 / x4
2-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0 / x16 / x0 or x16 / x0 / x0 / x8 / x0
3-way mode - x16 / x0 / x0 / x16 / x8 or x8 / x8 / x0 / x8 / x0
4-way mode - x8 / x8 / x0 / x16 / x8 or x8 / x8 / x0 / x8 / x4

according to the manual, pci-e3 isn't suggested for any multiple card configuration. they could've just 86d that slot and put in more disco lights.

Dang, you're right. Oh well, then NONE of the manufacturers got it right.

I didn't buy from Newegg but my shipping was nowhere close to that on the whole order which included the aforementioned MB, Processor, DDR4 and some other bits and pieces.
