X99series

The X99 series is a line of motherboards produced by ASUS, designed for high-end desktop computers. Introduced in 2014, the X99 series is based on Intel's LGA 2011-3 socket, which supports the company's high-end processors, including the Intel Core i7 and i9 series. The X99 chipset is the successor to the X79 chipset and offers several improvements, such as support for DDR4 memory and faster PCIe lanes.

The X99 series motherboards feature a robust design with high-quality components, including premium capacitors, solid-state capacitors, and high-end VRMs. They also offer extensive connectivity options, with multiple USB ports, SATA ports, and M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs. The motherboards come with a range of audio solutions, including Realtek's S1220A codec and ASUS' proprietary Xonar audio solutions.

The X99 series is known for its high performance and stability, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts and overclockers. However, it is important to note that the X99 series is no longer in production, as ASUS has shifted its focus to the newer Z series motherboards, which are based on Intel's LGA 1700 socket and support the latest 12th and 13th generation processors. The X99 series remains a valuable option for those looking to build a high-end desktop with Intel's high-end processors, but it is recommended to consider the newer Z series motherboards for future-proofing.
