There is a review of the Gigabyte X99-SLI motherboard posted at ThinkComputers today. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.
The X99 platform is an expensive platform to go into. The processors are expensive, the quad channel DDR4 is expensive, and the motherboards are expensive as well. With Gigabytes second round of X99 motherboards they wanted to bring out a fully-featured board that could get you on the X99 platform at a reasonable cost. This is where the X99-SLI comes in.
