The best Asus has to offer.
IT’S NOT EVERY DAY we get something as exceptional as this. A board that challenges all logic, positioned so high on the economic spectrum only the rich kids of Instagram and those really looking to burn holes in their pockets can attest to its brilliance.
This is, without doubt, a ridiculous board. Not in the same way as Asus’s X99E-10G workstation motherboard, but in a ludicrous concept kinda deal. It’s a well established fact that gaming benefits from higher performing single cores than slower performing multi cores, as found in the Broadwell-E and the X99 platform. That’s not to say that this dollar-burning combo is particularly bad at gaming, merely that it’s unnecessary. For the purist, there’s no logical reason to spend all that extra cash on an eight-core processor and above.
