ASUS X99-PRO USB 3.1, Intel X99 motherboard - Socket 2011 V3

In addition, many X99 boards have the next-gen interface for SSDs called SATA Express (SATAE) and Pattern 2 (NGFF), the first time with the Z97 chipset and the 1150s Intel mainstream processors (Haswell refresh / Devils Canyon) reached the market. But unlike them the Haswell There are not only 16, but all 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes available, which is why the fastest M.2 SSDs also via 4 lanes can be connected (via compatible motherboard slots) with maximum speed without abzuzwacken data lines of the graphics board.

When ASUS X99-PRO USB 3.1 is an excellently equipped X99 motherboard, which represents an ideal basis for the mega strong Extreme processors the Core i7-5000er series with its 6 or even 8 cores. The black and white board comes with eight DIMM slots for up to 64GB DDR4 memory in super snappy quad-channel mode. As sound chip of Realtek ALC1150 is at Bo (a) rd who can spend more than five audio jacks and an optical S / PDIF connector 7.1 sound.

A little highlight on ASUS X99-PRO USB 3.1 is also that – as the name suggests – located on the I / O panel on the back of the motherboard two brand new USB 3.1 ports with Type A socket, provided by ASMedia ASM1142 additional chip. These new USB ports with maximum attainable speed of 10 Gbit / s twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports.

The other connectivity fails in the high-end chipset much more than adequate. The ATX board provides a total of (partly external and partly internal) eight USB 3.0 ports and eight USB 2.0 ports are available and manages hard drives and SSDs eight SATA 6G ports (incl. RST and partly RAID support) , a SATAE port and a vertical M.2 slot. For this, the ASUS Hyper M.2 X4 is included, an adapter card for the PCI slot, with a further M.2-SSD on X99-PRO USB 3.1 can be connected. Expansion cards come in under two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots for graphics cards and are four PCI Express slots – partly in Standard 3.0 – ready.

The ASUS X99-PRO USB 3.1 convinced the bargain with Gigabit LAN Intel, integrated WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 module ASUS GO! including two antennas, many practical onboard overclocking features, ASUS 5X Protection, DIGI + VRM 8-phase design USB Boost, 5-Way-Optimization, a UEFI BIOS, a good passive chipset cooling and many other useful features.
