Surely its more about this chip itself than the board, you could probably put that chip in any of the highend X99 boards and it'll do the same!?
Not taking anything away from this board, it certainly looks awesome! Its just I feel its more about the chip itself than the board its in these days.

you'll find they have tested other boards with same chip an not managed to get near

It certainly is a great chip, but the mobo is sublime as well. This one was especially made with extreme OC in mind, one can really only take full advantage of it on water or better ln2.
I'm curious what the price difference is between the xpower and the gamer x99.

If I was in the market for motherboard based on X99, I certainly would pick the MSI X99S Xpower AC an this just confirms it.
