A good board to blow up cpu's.
You serious? LOL found the typical ones star reivews on New egg but that is about it.
Usually the board blows up before the CPU.
It's a little more than 'just' newegg reviews.
Are you referring to one of the reviewers that had issues or what?
Just one board going up in smoke doesn't mean much. I haven't had any issues with mine.
Meh, if I'm going to spend this much on a X99 board I rather do it right and get the ROG version.
There were actually a couple of boards, of course anyone knows that one board is an exception, but when it crosses three, then we have a problem.
PLUS, the OC socket doesn't really match the description for providing that extra juice like its supposed to..... Do you guys even read anything these days? lol....

There are two boards I'm aware of. An ASUS from Legit Reviews, and a MSI from Phoroix. So unless you are claiming that somehow ASUS is causing other people's boards to do the same thing, you have a problem with your logic. It seems for some reason there have been some failures on this platform. Not ASUS related, given they have happened to MSI. On monday supposedly Legit reviews will have more info.
I dunno, sounds like you don't read anything, or rather you read what matches your preconcieved notions.
I wouldn't buy an ASUS over someone else because of the socket, but I wouldn't give them a miss because of it either.
There were a couple of others too, may be from a few reviews that I read. I'm not claiming anything, but the fact that it's been a month and they haven't still come to a conclusion really doesn't help anything or anyone.
It's like asking yourself for popping in a $1K CPU in this board, and taking a risk of it blowing up at any specific instant. In the end, it's all about taking that risk.
I can't believe nobody mentioned that the R4BE could be had for $383 with the 10% off coupon. At that price it's simply a steal, many used ones go for more than that!
