Well, i finally installed my new X99 board with the 16 gigs of DDR4 from Crucial that I won. Thanks again for the awesome contest eVGA.
 
For now, I purchased a 5820k, as I can not afford the 5960x and the 5930k just does not have the value that you would spend for the chip. I got my 5820k from Microcenter for $320 OTD. I plan to sell of my X79 build and then this 5820k to fund a 5960x and sell my eVGA 770GTX SC ACX and use my eVGA bucks to help support me in buying a 970GTX SSC ACX2.0 or maybe something higher ;)
 
First thoughts on board. I love the design. Not a lot of lights like my X79 classy board has and I like that. Looking inside my case does not blind me anymore.
Only complaint I have is the OEM style I/O shield. I know it is on the back of the case but it is plain silver. Every other motherboard I have ever owned from eVGA always had a black I/O on the outside. Also, the I?O shield does not have the nice padding in the inside like the X79 Classy one had. This makes the board have a gap from the shield but has the little metal spring piece to hold it. Also, I love the metal plate that hides the I/O stuff but there is a small gap between it and the Corsair 800D case.
 
As you can see, not any real complaints at all...just baby cosmetic.
 
 
Thanks again for the contest eVGA. Maybe I can score one of the 980GTX now too
 
Sincerely,
One happy contest winner and longtime eVGA product owner and supporter.

Ooh thanks for the reminder. Even what is on my mod rigs is old as I had switched out case, CPU cooler, PSU, and gfx card. :)
