Socket and Chipset
The ASUS X99-DELUXE II is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel X99 chipset and the LGA 2011-v3 socket. It targets enthusiasts and workstation users who need a platform for Core i7 processors with quad-channel memory and extensive expansion options. Eight DDR4 slots support speeds up to 3333 MHz when overclocked and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The board delivers 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes from compatible CPUs, enabling multi-GPU configurations and high-bandwidth storage.
Installation Notes
The board uses a standard ATX mounting pattern and a 24-pin plus 8-pin power layout familiar to experienced builders. SafeSlot reinforcement on the primary PCIe x16 slots adds insertion force, so align the graphics card carefully before pressing down. M.2 and U.2 drives mount vertically; the M.2 socket accepts 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. SATA ports 7-8 and 9-10 share chipset lanes and do not support Intel RST RAID, so plan drive placement accordingly. The UEFI includes Fan Xpert 4 for PWM and DC fan calibration on all headers.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous load the 5-Way Optimization suite manages fan curves and water-pump speeds in real time, keeping VRM and chipset temperatures stable without manual tuning. Quad-channel memory architecture maintains bandwidth during long render or compile sessions, while the 32 Gbps PCIe link to the U.2 and M.2 slots prevents thermal throttling on fast SSDs. The Realtek ALC1150 8-channel codec remains clean during extended audio workloads. Onboard 3x3 802.11 ac Wi-Fi holds throughput in crowded environments.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the board is posting correctly after assembly?
The board has a Q-Code LED display and Q-LED indicators for CPU, DRAM, VGA and boot; a steady 00 or AA code with all four LEDs off means the system has passed POST.
What ships with the motherboard and what must I source separately?
The box contains the X99-DELUXE II board, I/O shield, SATA cables, SLI bridge, Wi-Fi antennas, M.2 and U.2 screws, driver disc and manual; you must supply an LGA 2011-v3 Core i7 CPU, DDR4 DIMMs, storage drives and an ATX power supply.
Which memory speed should I target for this X99 board?
The board validates DDR4 up to 3333(O.C.) and runs 2133 natively; choose a kit from the ASUS QVL at 2666, 3000 or 3200 for a balance of stability and bandwidth.
