Can replace the motherboard's original Carbon armor, but also in line with the current DIY "custom" theme, and immediately study how this stuff to the motherboard.

What is the X299 motherboard?

If you do not pay attention to DIY information in the recent period, you may not know the X299 motherboard.

The X299 motherboard is the successor to the X99. It is the motherboard of the Intel Extreme Extreme platform. The most important thing is that if you want to use the Core i9 processor, you must use the X299 motherboard with the LGA2066 interface.

In order to deal with AMD's recent strong Ryzen Ryzen, Intel has quickly introduced a new class of i9 CPU, the highest specification model is 18 cores and 36 threads, yes you read it! ! Supports the latest AVX-512 instruction set, Turbo Boost 3.0 technology, new LGA2066 interface, 44 PCIe 3.0 channels, 4-channel DDR4-2666 memory, fully open overclocking, Aoten memory, and a series of the latest and greatest technologies First applied to this.

Anyway, remember that X299 is Intel's current best motherboard.

Out of the box: try to replace the armor

The design style is still somewhat innovative. There are four pieces of removable carbon armor on the whole board, and the south bridge radiator LED lights pass through the center of the board.


Vigorously miracle

Extension ports:


PCIe 3.0 slot

There are four PCIe 3.0x16 slots, three SLI and four CF, and two short PCIe 3.0x1 slots. The rich interface is the most obvious advantage of the X299 motherboard.


M.2 SHIELD

Both M.2 SSD interfaces cover M.2 SHIELD. The official statement is that the M.2 SSD can significantly reduce the high temperature caused by high-speed reading and writing of M.2 SSDs.


Disk interface

8×SATA 3.0 + 1×U.2 SSD interface, however, U.2 SSD has not been seen recently, and it may be useful for users who are seeking the ultimate speed of RAID 0.


Overclocking knob

There are 8 kinds of overclocking parameters that can be preset on the above. Rotate the button to switch to the corresponding preset to overclock.


Motherboard back I/O interface

AUDIO BOOST IV Audio Module

The audio module section also designed a number of high-end Nyquicon professional audio capacitors to provide a superior sound experience.

MSI CORE FROZR Heatsink:

MSI's own high-end heat sink, support MUSTIC LIGHT synchronization light effect, then the evaluation will also be used with this radiator.
