Let me start off by saying that you really don't need a new X299 MB for the 10000 X Series as the extra 4 PICE lanes come from the CPU (if you can find it) and not the MB! That does not mean that there are no newer features on these than in previous models from any brand. I wanted this because I always liked Gigabyte MB once I switched to it during the X79 days. One did have a busted cap issue which messed things up a bit, but that was it. Once X299 came out, I was kind of forced to switch brands back to one of the main ones I used prior. I had no issues except for clicking and a slight out of sync sound while downloading and watch videos. It's on here too, but less so. When I powered the CPU (never overclocked) on all cores with hyper-threading and Turbo Boost, it felt quick - but restrained. After a while, I began too look into the power delivery system again. I tried an Asrock X299 board once and had a quicker response - but the videos/picture and CPU response felt restrained even more so. It may be hard to explain, but you can feel and even see that the CPU was restrained. Then after reading things (some I read before, but thought nothing of it), I realized that the power delivery on these boards may have been the problem. Be it VRM or CPU, it needed more power. I am using the 9800X at stock. I hated using TB on it before because either it would blue screen (when it reached 48000mhz - stock) or when HW Monitor would show over 5Ghz readings, which concerned me. I had to switch to this one because it had more power phases, more amps, heatpiping along the VRM/better cooling, 3 M.2 bays, nicer and simpler lighting options (purple looks nice!), enough USB ports, nice overall looks, ESS Sabre, oscillator, etc. Once up and going - the difference was clear cut! The speed exceeded what I had before - in EVERY way! Videos and pictures were clearer, more colorful and more detailed, cleaner and had much more information and IMPACT when compared to my last MB! It is a MB, so it does what I felt I had - a new computer! Video games looked more stunning (GTX 1070 Ti), moved faster, were more precise and responsive, Photoshop does it all better and faster, not to mention internet! This verified to me that the restraints were gone! I used the same parts I used in the last build, so I know all improvements came from the motherboard. When I play video games, they moved quicker, were clearer, cleaner, more detailed, even better effects, etc. The M.2 drives moved faster than before. I had the last main one hooked up to the same CPU after having had it hooked up to the chipset - and it is clearly faster. In case you don't know, hooking up M.2 drives to the CPU's PCIE lanes provides the best performance. Gigabyte at least shows you a diagram so that you can see which one connects to the CPU - which are two, while the other is a M.2 SATA connection. Without studying, the M.2 drive that knocks out a SATA connection is the one that connects to the chipset. It works well, but being hooked up to the CPU has a noticeable difference. Bottom line - X299 needs power, and this one delivers! Having three M.2 slots makes the hookup cleaner and it can help you to start dumping those old mechanical drives. I bought mine opened box, but I think one slipped through! This pumped new life into my PC to the point that if I cannot find a 10900X - who cares? This 9800X without restraints feels like a new CPU, packed with power! If I stick with this as it is now, I cannot complain. This looks like the overall best from quality, features, price and performance.

The X299X Aorus Master is a reliable and well-designed motherboard. Conversely, the motherboard suffers from underwhelming performance, an underdeveloped bios and unacceptable deficiencies in product support. Pros 1. Solid refresh board based on the 3-year-old Intel X299 platform, which includes support for 48 PCI Express Lanes and 256 GB RAM. 2. Out of the box support for the latest Intel Core X-series Processors (e.g., i9-10900X through i9-10980XE); assuming you can find one to purchase. 3. Stable and reliable performance. 4. Well throughout layout and features 5. Easy build and setup. Cons (product support/support website) 1. Intel releases ongoing Intel Converged Security and Management Engine security advisories and provides firmware updates to mitigate security vulnerabilities. Similarly, motherboard manufacturers are responsible for distributing BIOS/firmware updates to address the published vulnerabilities. At the time of this post, Gigabyte has failed to patch published Intel ME vulnerabilities, which include multiple vulnerabilities with an Intel security bulletin rating of “CRITICAL.” I noticed this after receiving timely February and June 2020 ME updates for my Asus MB and confirmed the issue using the freely available Intel Converged Security and Management Engine Detection Tool (see before/after screen captures). After numerous attempts to resolve this problem, I reached a helpful Gigabyte support representative that immediately acknowledged the problem and I was provided with a newly compiled “F3d” beta bios with the Intel ME security updates a few days later. Oddly, the “F3d” bios was not available on the official support page at the time of this post but I did notice that it was posted on the official tweak town Gigabyte MB forum. Overall, this is inexcusable failure to support a newly released MB. Cons (software) 2. Five important drivers/driver packages have not been posted to the Gigabyte X299X Aorus Master support page. "App Center" would be an alternative for driver updates if it worked on my computer. App Center is the only application to ever BSOD my computer and corrupt the file system (Google “gdrv2.sys BSOD). Technical support was unable to help me resolve the App Center BSOD and I am simply downloading driver updates from OEM support websites and my similarly equipped Asus MB support website. Again, a failure to properly support a newly released MB. Cons (Motherboard) 3. Disappointing/slower Boot and OS performance as compared to my Asus and MSI X299 boards. 4. The MB should utilize premium ICs at this price point. 5. The MB does not support advertised memory timings. 6. The first PCIe slot visibly sags with my video card installed and no support bracket was included. I added a support bracket to easily correct this problem. 7.The bios is poorly developed and buggy in general (e.g., no built in OC or drive tools, poorly developed help system, occasionally freezes on save, and actually lacks a setting to turn off the RGB lighting). Final thoughts: Despite my historical loyalty to the Gigabyte MB brand, this purchase drove home the importance of product support and researching MB support pages before making a purchase. This MB was seemingly placed on the market with no intent to provide minimally expected after sales product support, such as bios updates to address critical security vulnerabilities and keeping driver downloads up to date; as fully evident on the X299X Aorus Master support page at the time of this post.. I cannot personally recommend this MB based on my personal concerns with security and support; however, the MB may be a good option at the 400-dollar price point for individuals who are not bothered by the issues I described above. I will likely drop my CPU into an ASUS ROG or MSI Creator in the next couple months in order to have timely access to firmware/bios updates and a properly maintained MB support page. August 17, 2022, update - Ongoing Security Vulnerabilities If you visited the GIGABYTE X299X AORUS Master support page in the past nine months, you were advised to update your BIOS due to major security vulnerabilities. The description states, “Major vulnerabilities updates, customers are strongly encouraged to update to this release at the earliest,” and “Customers will NOT be able to reverse to previous BIOS version due to major vulnerabilities concerns.” I believe the update is related to System Management Mode (SMM) vulnerabilities, which likely explain the seriousness of the message, given the SMM manages the TPM and other low level system interactions. I also believe the vulnerability was found on all GIGABYTE Intel 600, 500, 400, 300, X299, and C246-series motherboards, as well as all GIGABYTE AMD X570, X470, X370, B550, B450, B350, A520, A320, X399, and TRX40 motherboards. Surprisingly, GIGABYTE also patched all longstanding critical Intel Management Engine (ME) security vulnerabilities through 12/06/2021 with the F3m/F3m-n Bios update. Acknowledging that GIGABYTE patched the critical SMM and Intel ME vulnerabilities after 2 years and 3 months, all subsequent critical Intel ME vulnerabilities have not been patched and the board is again vulnerable at the time of this post. In comparison, ASUS has released 8 Intel ME updates for my TUF X299 shortly after the vulnerabilities were published by Intel. I remain highly disappointed with GIGABYTEs decision to ignore critical Intel ME security vulnerabilities.

The media could not be loaded. I am using this new build as a multipurpose computer. I didn't like the fact that the Ethernet (LAN) connecting is only 5G.

Very few x299x boards. I am grateful for Gigabyte for producing this product to house Cascade Lake chips, however, it is extremely unimpressive. LEDs mean very little, but they sort of go in reverse on this board, they make you want to get out the black duct tape. NVMe cooling us abysmal. Motherboard power is in a terrible location. Drivers and Bios updates are an echo down an empty hall. My biggest gripe is that it fails to recognize 128 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum. It stops hard at 96 GB. On the plus side is that Optane works. Summary: It cries to be replaced with something better. Updated Aug 2022: Gigabyte determined the RAM issue as a defective board and authorized an RMA. Which is good but due to silicone shortage it took several months for a new board to come in stock for the replacement. Replacement board recognized all 128 GB right away and is very stable.

...almost as fast as the rampage 6, for about half of the cost, and one additional PCIE slot... but to get all the juice out of it, you need a good cpu, 8 sticks of good RAM memory, some liquid cooling and a good power supply to go with it, otherwise it is a waste of money, you can find cheaper solutions there in the wild... The box was delivered in time and it had everything as promised inside. Good vendor, 5 stars.
