I'm considering purchasing a 5930k tomorrow from retail edge. I'm unfamiliar with the x99 lineup and was hoping to get some suggestions on possible board choices. From the limited research I've done it seems a lot of people end up having issues with their x99 boards, issues I'd like to avoid if I'm going to be purchasing one. No preferences on brand, pretty much have owned them all at one point or another, although brands that I have specifically looked at for their x99 boards include Gigabyte, Asus, and Asrock. I have a budget of around $250.
Features I would like to have:
-Bootable full speed m.2, NVMe compatible
-Intel NIC
-Several PWM 4 pin fan headers
Features I'm unsure about/don't know if I'll need:
-U.2/SFF-8639
-OC Socket?
-4x Ram slots vs 8x
Unneeded features:
-Wifi
I will need to make make a decision by tomorrow, if I can not select a board I will most likely pickup a 4790k to use with my current setup and think about doing a platform change next year.
A big thanks to any and all suggestions/advice/thoughts. Marry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
