Great review Boss. There are some hot cpus on that platform without deliding ( 9960x fixed that problem with solder Tim ) , nevertheless the performance it's great. The mobo fell short on the pci express department in my opinion ( should it have at least 4 pci express @ 8x8x8x8 )

I can't find an excuse to buy a 2066 setup. Motherboard aside, a 9800X is like 130-150 euro more than the 9900k. I'd like a Rampage VI Extreme Omega for a 9900k and i'm sold.

Pff... 10GbE.. Old tech. :P
Thanks for the review boss! That mobo barely break a sweat with a 7960X@4.5GHz which Intel didn't supply because they are cheapstakes.

Nice looking board and as was the Rampage Extreme VI that it replaced. Would be interesting to see if the Omega refresh offers much performance over the previous. With the high cost of all these new X299 Intel driven boards and CPU's I'll be milking my X99 R5E10 a bit longer.

Can't help but look at my Rampage V and 5820K, which are hitting the 4 year mark now. On one hand, I'm surprised that I still didn't upgrade and on the other, scared when looking at today's prices. It's not like I payed in 2015 was cheap (on the contrary), but I don't know, I guess I slipped out the high-end market, it just seems too much now (especially if I were to add a 2080Ti to replace my 1080Ti).
Anyway... enough of my rant. Great review and great looking and performing piece of hardware. I still hold to my belief, that when it comes to motherboards, ASUS is #1.

Not enough real world performance diff to win me over from Threadripper plus the extreme costs in doing so.
