With the release of the X299 chipset it was only a matter of time before the designers at ASUS returned to this theme and the X299 TUF Mark 1 is the result. We’re not sure if the Mark 1 part of the name indicates a aesthetic consideration for this particular model, or whether it is the beginning of a long line of motherboards with the TUF moniker rather than the Sabertooth one.

Our first ASRock X299 motherboard review is here, and today we will look at the X299 Taichi. The Taichi brand has been one ASRock has offered since they launched their X99 Taichi last year. The whole concept of the Taichi is balance and in this case a balance of price and features. The motherboards have always been solid, but never over the top or of lower quality than one might expect from a high-end motherboard.

There’s plenty to choose from as far as X299 motherboards go if you’re keen on netting an Intel Skylake-X CPU, and having covered options from Asus and MSI, it’s now Gigabyte’s turn to pitch itself against our battery of tests. We’ve received the company’s sub £300 offering, the £270 X299 Aorus Gaming 3 to be precise.

For their part, Gigabyte now has the AB350N-Gaming WIFI ITX motherboard for Ryzen. It uses a B350 chipset instead of the ITX-specific A320 chipset to give builders better headroom when it comes to performance through overclockability.

Though what helps differentiate the ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 from the others is the inclusion of an additional M.2 slot. Though the additional M.2 slot shares bandwidth with the SATA3_3 port, this isn’t a huge problem considering ASRock have included an additional 2x SATA ports anyway.

ASUS’s PRIME X299-DELUXE is currently ASUS’s top of the line X299 motherboard, and the second most expensive you can buy at this point. ASUS’s Deluxe lineup of motherboards has a long-standing tradition of being quite hardcore in the way of features and quality. The new Prime X299 Deluxe should follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, and we will see if it truly does in the coming pages and review.

Honestly, it’s what I have come to expect from MSI on its upper tier boards. You get Steel Armor protection on the DIMM, PCIe, and U2 slots that offer EFI protection, as well as a more robust retention mechanism to the PCB. On top of that we see Military Class 5 VRM components, Click BIOS 5, and so very much more. Let’s dig in and see what MSI has brought to the table.

Today’s review is the Gigabyte AB350N Gaming. An ITX motherboard based around the AM4 socket that has all the modern trimmings one would hope to find, and indeed need, just in a small form factor. We’re taking a slightly different slant upon the usual review formula today, which will become clear as we move through.

MSI’s X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC is second from the top when it comes to MSI’s X299 motherboard lineup. The motherboard offers a very strong feature set, and a new level of customizability. The motherboard does not only have RGB LEDs built into the top and bottom of the PCB, but it has RGB LED headers and the ability to change the physical color of the heat sinks and shields.
