Gigabyte X99-Ultra Gaming (with Broadwell-E) @ techPowerUp

With a name like "Ultra Gaming" it has to be good right?

We test the Gigabyte X99-Ultra Gaming with the latest Intel 20-core Broadwell-E processor. This new motherboard comes with both Intel and KillerNIC LAN, U.2 and M.2 drive support, USB 3.1 Type-C, and audio-tailored for gaming. It also supports multiple videocards and to look pretty it provides fantastic LED lighting.

I am currently testing the Z170x Ultra Gaming board from Gigabyte and honestly find the LEDs to be a little too much.  Sure they are bright and highlight some interesting areas of the board but are hidden quick once you start installing your hardware.

At least with the X99 edition you have some actual red and white accents to make the board visually appealing.
