- Which CPUs fit this board?
- It uses the Intel X299 chipset and LGA 2066 socket, so it takes Intel Core X-series processors for that socket. Mainstream LGA 1151 or LGA 1200 chips will not fit.
- Does it have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
- No. Networking is wired only through the integrated network controllers, so you need a separate Wi-Fi or Bluetooth card for wireless.
- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- Three. The slots accept 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives, which covers most NVMe SSDs.
- Can I run two graphics cards?
- Yes. It supports both SLI and CrossFire across its PCIe x16 slots, provided your case and power supply can handle the cards.
- Is it good for a new build today?
- Only if you already have a Core X-series CPU or need its PCIe lane count and storage. For a fresh build, newer platforms offer better upgrade paths and built-in wireless.
- What form factor is it?
- It is a standard ATX board, so it fits most mid-tower and full-tower cases that accept ATX motherboards.
- Where is the MSI MEG X299 CREATION cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $1,507.11, as of our latest check.
