Well, the title states my question. I am going for a Red and Black themed build and need a good motherboard. After watching JayzTwoCents review on the ASRock fatil1ty X99X Killer, he said that you can only run 2 way SLI on the 5820k for that board. If you need any other PC specs or anything let me know.

Thanks

MSI X99S Gaming 7 is the best motheroard on review in toms.

Anyway don't use 5820k on x99s, simply because they had only 28 PC Lanes which don't maximize on SLI

While 5930k had 40pc lanes and outperform in perfomance with 5930X (That cost 1grand, also they had 40 pc lanes)
Red and Black = MSI also btw, i had X99S Gaming 9, and its awesome

Sure, if you like the scheme of it, the ONLY reason I bought it was because it was black and red, otherwise I would have gotten like the Deluxe.

you seem to be really into black and red but in my opinion its price is way too much since Deluxe would do the job but in case you would spend some $$ it's cool ^^
