Asus has rewatched 30 years of making motherboards and with that, they have some amazing boards representing this up on display at Computex. They have the Asus Prime X-299 Edition 30. The Edition 30 certainly does not miss the mark as it has all the feature we come to expect on the high-end boards from Asus.

The LGA2066 socket is compatible with Core X-Series processors with up to 18 cores, 44 PCI Express lanes, and a 165W TDP. Those specs require serious power, especially if you’re overclocking, so the Edition 30 is equipped with a premium power solution. A sweet 16 power stages line up neatly along the top edge of the PCB; they’re cooled well enough to sustain a staggering 544W output, which is more than enough to overclock 18-core CPUs into truly extreme territory. There’s so much juice on tap that the board uses ProCool 12V power connectors with thicker pins capable of carrying more current, plus metal covers for structural reinforcement. Cooling is at the utmost importance on this motherboard as it is meant for overclockers. The VRM has a hidden 40mm fan that spins when needed. The board also supports 128GB of DDR4-4266. To cater to professionals, there are 3 available NVMe M.2 slots.
