This is not a forum question, its a discussion. Toms mobile lacks a lot of features.

Two different boards and both went up in smoke, one of them even took the cpu with it.

I've had 2 go up in smoke in the past week.
Asus X99 Deluxe
Gigabyte X99 G1 Gaming

Both worked for a time, suddenly powered off and wouldnt come back. First one RMA'd and confirmed board and cpu dead. 2nd RMA pending....

Frankly based on my experience, I couldn't recommend anyone get any kind of X99 board.
