Today we are checking out five high-end X79 motherboards from Asus, Asrock, ECS, Intel and MSI.
When we first tested the LGA2011 platform, we were shocked by theX79 chipset’s lack of features.
Unfortunately missing from our roundup is Gigabyte.
That particular board has a very weak feature set along with an exuberant price tag.
Apparently Gigabyte’s HQ is very tight on samples at the moment, must be the economy.
Nevertheless all the remaining major players were able to supply the boards that we requested.
