I did some Googling and the general consensus seems to be stay away from the Chinese boards, while some have no issues, many have and don’t recommend them. I guess my question is why go with x99 at all? The technology seems to be almost 10 years old yet they seem to have a pretty large fanbase and are regarded as reliable workhorse motherboards. Are you looking for a dual CPU high core count solution? What is your budget? Is power consumption important? Have you looked into AMD EPYC solutions? What kind of case do you have in mind?
