Is this a good X99 motherboard? I really can't find any reviews on any tech sites for it. But I see on sale regularly at Frys and I'm hoping to get one if it falls back to the low $100s again (It was $109 after rebate in July).

I'm thinking that low motherboard price with a 5820k will bring it down to skylake level prices. And since its hard to get a skylake in the US, I figure I would go with the 5820k. Plus the X99 seems to have the same high end options as the Z170 boards. I get 8 USB 3.0s in the rear, a M.2 with pci 4x, intel LAN, 2 bios that you can switch back and forth, and lots of overclocking buttons.

Reviews on Amazon and Newegg seem to be good.

Anyone here have one?

Thanks
