This is probably the last X99 part we'll see for a while. The X99 refresh brought some cool X99 stuff and this board is really similar to the Taichi from ASRock that I looked at before.

I decided to get a bit nerdy with the power delivery and some of the things I've always wanted to do to see what the overall reaction might be for the audience.

I also tried to relax more than usual for this review. I'm not sure about "the feel" of it -- just experimenting. Also we experimented a bit with the lighting.

Also, going to try to always do a full tour of the UEFI on every board we cover, from here on out. 

X99 is, and will continue to be, king for loads of PCIe Lanes and lots of cores. 

 Let us know what you think!

ASRock X99 Fatality Motherboard Review

Quick review of this X99! Yes, Kaby Lake will be out soon, but it still tops out at 4 cores and a limited number of PCIe lanes. If you're going to need a lot of cores or a lot of PCIe peripherals, X99 is still king.

I like this new lighting set up. But I think you would need to add some color via bounce lighting on the back you can use gels or just spray paint light bulbs for the really cost effective, Check out a video, Quick Tips: DIY Lighing Tricks by Film Riot. I also like this relax feel.

Not seen anyone else get nerdy on a board like you do. Really refreshing, and the slow pace and cozy music made it feel like art atack.

Excited to see it when I get the time later!! "I also tried to relax more than usual for this review. I'm not sure about "the feel" of it -- just experimenting. Also we experimented a bit with the lighting." Pretty sure it will be goodies ~

Could anyone recommend some decent micro atx's that have dual m.2?

Nice video. Good to see reviews that deviate from the shopping list of features, and go indepth into random parts of the board. That's how we learn stuff. The relaxed nature works well. If you are having a good time making the videos, we are having a good time watching them!
