- Which CPUs fit the ASUS X99-Deluxe?
- It uses the LGA 2011-v3 socket and Intel X99 chipset, so it takes Haswell-E and Broadwell-E processors such as the Core i7-5820K, 5930K, 5960X and 6800K series. It does not fit newer Intel sockets.
- How much memory can it take?
- There are eight DDR4 slots supporting quad-channel memory, with speeds up to 3200 MHz when overclocked. That allows very high capacities for rendering, virtual machines or large datasets.
- Does it support multiple graphics cards?
- Yes. The board has several PCIe x16 slots plus x1 slots, so multi-GPU setups are possible with supported X99 CPUs. Check the lane-sharing rules in the manual before installing three or four cards.
- Is it a good choice for a new build today?
- Only if you already own an LGA 2011-v3 CPU or find the platform worthwhile for a workstation. It lacks USB-C, PCIe 4.0 and modern M.2, so a current board is a better base for a new general-purpose PC.
- What form factor and case does it need?
- It is a standard ATX board, so it fits ATX cases and many larger micro-ATX cases. Allow clearance for a large CPU cooler and long graphics cards.
- Does it have built-in Wi-Fi and sound?
- Integrated audio is included. Wireless networking varies by revision, so check the specific board's rear I/O for Wi-Fi; wired LAN and HDMI are present.
- Where is the ASUS X99-DELUXE LGA 2011-v3 cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $226.13, as of our latest check.
