X99 Series Motherboard for LGA2011-3 Processors with Quad-Channel DDR4 and High-Speed Storage

Black X99 series desktop computer motherboard with LGA2011-3 socket, four DDR4 slots, and PCIe expansion slots.

This motherboard utilises the Intel X99 chipset and is built around the LGA2011-3 CPU socket, designed to support high-end desktop (HEDT) and workstation builds. It accommodates the v3 generation of Intel Core i7 Extreme processors like the 5820K and 5960X, as well as Xeon E5 server-grade CPUs, providing a platform for demanding computing tasks. The board's architecture includes four DDR4 memory channels, allowing for significant bandwidth and capacities up to 128GB using 32GB modules. With integrated 7.1 channel audio and Gigabit LAN, plus extensive expansion slots including dual PCI-E x16 and an M.2 NVMe interface, it offers a comprehensive foundation for a powerful system without requiring numerous add-in cards for core functionality.

Specifications and Processor Support

Black X99 series desktop computer motherboard with LGA2011-3 socket, four DDR4 slots, and PCIe expansion slots.

The motherboard's core specification revolves around the LGA2011-3 socket and Intel X99 platform, catering to a specific generation of high-performance processors.

CPU Socket and Compatibility

The LGA2011-3 socket is designed for Intel's enthusiast and server processors. This board supports CPUs from the beginning of the 58xx and 68xx/69xx series of Intel's v3 architecture. This includes consumer-grade Core i7 Extreme Edition processors such as the i7-5820K and i7-5960X. It is also compatible with Xeon E5 v3 series server processors. An important compatibility note is that if using a Core i7 consumer processor, the system cannot utilise ECC (Error-Correcting Code) server memory modules at the same time.

Memory Architecture

The board features four DDR4 DIMM slots, enabling a quad-channel memory configuration. It supports DDR4 memory at speeds of 2400MHz or 2333MHz. A key feature is its support for both standard unbuffered desktop memory and Registered ECC memory modules, the latter being typically used in workstation and server environments for improved data integrity. The maximum supported capacity is 4 x 32GB, allowing for a total of 128GB of system RAM.

Expansion and Connectivity

This motherboard provides a wide array of slots and ports for adding components and connecting peripherals, balancing legacy support with modern high-speed interfaces.

PCIe and Storage Slots

For graphics and expansion cards, the board offers two PCI-E x16 slots suitable for high-performance graphics cards or other PCIe devices, alongside three smaller PCI-E x1 slots. Storage connectivity is comprehensive, featuring eight SATA3.0 (6Gb/s) ports for traditional hard drives and SSDs. Crucially, it includes one M.2 slot that supports the PCIe NVMe protocol, enabling the use of ultra-fast M.2 solid-state drives that operate directly over the PCIe bus for significantly higher speeds than SATA-based drives.

Rear Panel and Internal Headers

The rear I/O panel provides a mix of contemporary and legacy connections. It includes one PS/2 combo port for keyboard or mouse, an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port powered by the integrated Realtek RTL8111H controller, four USB 3.0 ports, and the necessary audio jacks for the 7.1 channel audio output. Internally, the board has headers for two additional USB 2.0 ports and two more USB 3.0 ports, allowing for front-panel case connections. It also features a WiFi expansion interface for adding a wireless networking card.

Build and Operational Features

Black X99 series desktop computer motherboard with LGA2011-3 socket, four DDR4 slots, and PCIe expansion slots.

Beyond core specifications, the board includes several features aimed at system builders and users focused on reliability and diagnostics.

Power Delivery and Diagnostics

The motherboard requires standard ATX power connections: a 24-pin main power connector and an 8-pin CPU power connector. It employs a four-phase power design to deliver stable power to the CPU. To aid in troubleshooting, it is equipped with a digital fault diagnosis display, which shows error codes, and a system buzzer for audible alerts. An 8-LED audio trace lighting system is also present on the board.

Warranty and Product Notes

The product comes with a three-year warranty. The warranty policy consists of one year of free service followed by two years of maintenance where costs may apply. The manufacturer notes that the colour of the slot baffles or PCB accents may vary between production batches, and the product is subject to continuous optimisation and upgrades. Some minor detail adjustments might occur, so the physical product may have slight variations compared to promotional materials.
