Review on EVGA X299 Intel Motherboard 151 SX E299 KR by Jero Fontaine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shipped with the wrong bios chip

Probably a great board but it came with the wrong bios chip and couldn't even post an update. After a few hours of troubleshooting and an hour on the phone (January 11th) it turned out that I could get the chip by January 17th. I reckon the board will be working great at this point, but with a 1/17 deadline my system is currently useless and I'll have to get another board. For the record, I believe this only applies to i9 10XXX chips. TLDR - Do not buy if you work in a corporate environment or perform mission-critical tasks.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Neutral
