It is not included as there is not much demand for them in most cases, however we do offer one here as well.

I use one on my X79 Dark because the case I have the front panel could not reach and this gave me enough extra length, also it is VERY low profile and I can bend it to wherever I want and it just works, no complaints.

Which MB do you have?
 

Cool GTX
I am looking to buy a X99 MB - researching EVGA Classified & Asus Rampage V Extreme - I am open to other MBs

 
I've read about issues with both of these MB in my form research on several forms. 
 
Asus RVE seems to be more mature "best OC MB"; but, reading about killed CPUs on restart - even if rare - makes me reconsider. 
 
I've read about some stability issues with the Classified. 
 
I am not sure I "NEED" either of these $$$$$ MB for my 2way SLI above freezing plans.
 
Looking to make an informed decision on this purchase.  So, any input form members are willing to share would be nice to see.

 
 What I have:
     CPU is 5960X water cooled custom loop - will OC
     GPU 2way SLI EVGA Titan X SC underwater -have been OCd in my Z97 MB
     4K monitor with second monitor at lower res.
     PSU  EVGA 1600 P2
 
I do not plan on subzero or chilled, just my H2O loop.  (Maybe use  a heat exchanger if needed later - still above freezing)
 
My Uses:
CAD, games at times, benchmark runs - just to see what I can do.  Possibly video editing for my next adventure.

 
Also what to try Folding (on the EVGA team) - does MB matter much in folding performance?
 
I do not foresee a third Titan X at this time -  cost to performance issue for me.

 
Looking at: Asus Rampage V Extreme and EVGA Classified, also open to other boards that could support 3way SLI.

 
Planning on 32 GB or 64 GB of DDR4 (RAM Disk maybe)  not sure what speed of Ram - looking for cost/performance
 
Hope to find a Black Friday deal on MB & Ram, maybe even Intel 750 PCIe SSD
 
 
Thoughts?

Think I'm going EVGA Classified!

On market at this moment is not capable to find some really solid motherboard without bugs where only random problems could happen and nothing specific. That's sad part of IT industry. It's nothing strange because it's much harder to build motherboard than anything else and many things could go wrong. Today no one can't recommend you some solid board famous as mobo without bugs for X99 or Z170 platform. 
Example if you want solid board buy this or that... Not... Many motherboards offer excellent features and all of them are full of weak sides.

 
100% agree with you Vlada
 
As this is the reason I started this thread.  I was hoping that the "unhappy customer were the most vocal & most likely to write a review" - but it seems to be a mixed bag.  Everyone has their experience with their X99 MB.  Even experienced PC builders have had issues.    Too many unanswered questions - No clear winner.
 
One would have hoped that $300+ MB that are approaching 1 year old, would in fact have had hardware, firmware and BIOS issues put to bed by now. 
 
As this build is going underwater in a custom loop; I do not want to be going through constant stability issues and dealing with RMA of new MB on this build, because I failed to do my research.
 
Instead it looks like you throw the dice, hoping the one you buy is defect free.
 
Wonder if it all traces back to the "made in China" that we are seeing, instead of the typical rush to market that is the root cause of the apparent validation & quality control short cumming with X99 MB.
 
Back to square One: undecided were to put my hard earned dollar and trust

 If this is true, then going with a board backed by the best customer service is what I'd be going with (and am)...

If you're worried about getting a defective MB, just have it setup outside of the loop and run some testings.  I installed Windows and setup UEFI for my M.2 SSD prior to putting it into the loop which would be a pain to take apart.

Yup. I used a H80 AIO and have a 212 incase.  Grab a 212 as their one of the best budgeted air coolers around.  Have that as a backup and use it for instances like these.
