Features
5-Way Optimization
Our exclusive technology dynamically optimizes essential aspects of your system based on real-time use, so you get superb CPU performance, everyday energy savings, ultra-stable digital power, cool and quiet fans, and even networking and audio settings that are tailored for the apps that you are using.
Perfected Cooling For Unleashing Performance
Strix X299-E Gaming motherboards are equipped with an M.2 heatsink integrated into the PCH heatsink. With a huge cooling surface, the M.2 heatsink perfectly chills an inserted M.2 SSD — for consistent performance and reliability. The ASUS 3D-printed M.2 fan holder keeps temperatures low for improved performance and longevity.
ProCool Power Connector
Compared with traditional power connectors, ASUS ProCool connectors ensure an exceptionally close and secure connection with the ROG Strix X299-E Gaming motherboard. This design is stronger and also benefits power efficiency: the flush connection enables lower impedance and better heat dissipation, allowing cooler operating temperature.

Gaming Networking
Strix X299-E Gaming features the very latest Intel Ethernet Controller I219-V for faster, smoother gaming.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseBoard works fine. Decided to get this one despite the negative reviews with a specific BIOS version. Never had any major issues and there is a nice status display for the board that gives you an error number if there is a problem during startup. This helped save a bunch of troubleshooting time when I built my PC because one of my components wasn't plugged in completely. I did upgrade the BIOS a months or so after I got the board because I was having some weirdness being able to update windows 10 which has not been a problem since.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseThis is a beast motherboard. It has everything you need to run a high speed index. The one thing I was a bit disappointed on, it only has one legacy USB 2.0 connector on the motherboard. So, you either plug in your USB connector to your water cooling pump head or your front panel header. But not both. I'm sure there's a work around, but just not that interested in USB 2.0 on my front header too worry about it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseI want to start by saying that I have owned dozens of ASUS products over the years and have never had such a bad experience as I did with this motherboard.
First, x299 chipset is super new and drivers are very unstable and constantly updating. Asus's website makes downloading the most current drivers a tedious and cumbersome process. I installed a dual m.2 raid with 2 960 Evo's in Raid 0. Finding the driver to do this install with windows was a hours long search as Asus does not provide or has really hidden the driver I had to source it out from Intel directly. After finding the driver and installing windows, I was unable to install any chipset drivers until windows was fully upgraded post anniversary as my purchased copy of windows was pre-anniversary. I was even unable to see other attached SATA drives due to the complete incompatibility of x299 chipset drivers with pre anniversary windows 10.
This includes no working internet drivers wifi and Lan drivers would not work. I installed a 3rd party wifi adapter and updated windows. Asus website listed a highly recommended bios update. Installing the updated bios destroyed the RAID as it made major changes to the m.2 onboard. I then had to completely repeat the process. Slightly faster since I knew what to do.
Since installing again, I have had numerous system lockups, a complete freeze of windows while copying files. The file copy process completely freezes and windows is totally frozen. Apparently, the Raid is not stable. I independently verified that the Samsung 960s where 100% stable in another system, so this is an ASUS issue.
I am not working with Amazon to return this motherboard for a different Manf. Asus seems to have rushed production and I am now burned from buying another ASUS product for some time.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2017Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseNOTE: I'm a software developer and use my computer many hours every day.
Aside from some initial quirks getting it setup and the proper drivers installed, my Asus X299 Mark I board has been very stable. It wasn't a totally smooth process getting there but building a new computer on a new platform never is, but I am now quite happy because it is fast and quiet, and, most importantly, it has been very stable. It's a big improvement over my old one when compiling using parallel compilation.
On the downside, I did have those initial 'quirks' and some of the manual could have been more detailed and clearer on certain topics. Minus 1 star for these issues.
NOTE: I'm using this motherboard with an Intel 7820X CPU and Noctua 14cm U-series Single Tower CPU Cooler, Brown (NH-U14S). I tried my hand at some minor overclocking but I didn't like the temps when conservatively overclocking to 4.4GHz (plus I encountered some stability issues). Maybe I would have better temps with a water cooler but I just did not want to deal with one.
The good news is that the CPU's Turbo Boost 2.0 and 3.0 are rather aggressive and help make up for (so far) bad luck with overclocking with boosts up to 4.5 GHz (but not on all cores).
UPDATE 2017-09-24: I updated the BIOS to 0802. The BIOS update through the Internet using the tool in the BIOS FAILED (it couldn't contact the server or something). I went back into Windows and downloaded the update to a local drive and tried again but the tool said it couldn't read the file. I went back into Windows again and downloaded the BIOS again and put the BIOS in a folder (instead of directly in the drive root) and that time it worked.... so the BIOS tool needs some work there. Maybe the 0802 update fixed some of these issues so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and keep my 4 star rating.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseHave bought Four of these Mother Bords and tell you noun of them have failed yet over the years, there all running strong to this day! will keep buying Asua brands always
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseThis was in our video editing computer we built 2 months ago, and decided to start throwing errors - never booting up windows. We replaced everything we could, including booting without a sata drive connected and it still gave the same errors for overheating - even when cold. If it's for a game pc then the price is great and could be worth it, if you NEED your computer to work, spend a bit more! A week without a computer costs more than a nice MB.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseOnboard NIC is problematic. Can't get more than 150mbps down, while uploads see full line rate. Many people have reported similar issues.
I added a $12 PCIe NIC and I'm getting full speed now. Aside form the NIC issue the board has been great, but silly that such a common part can be defective for so many people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instruction manual is easy to follow and the CPU mount is very robust
Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseWell thought out with a ton of fan headers to power the air flow units. It even has headers for the liquid cooled rigs. Instruction manual is easy to follow and the CPU mount is very robust. This motherboard is rather future proof as it will allow for plenty of upgrades to keep it relevant for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Motherboard a un magnifico precio
Size: ATXStyle: ROG Strix X299-E GamingVerified PurchaseCompre esta motherboard en conjunto con un procesador i9 7900x y un enfriador NZXT x62, decidi que compraria esta motherboard por que llevo al menos 6 años usando motherboards y tarjetas de video Asus y nunca he tenido una falla.
Esta motherboard trae todo lo necesario a un costo razonable, el bios es muy sencillo de usar, la instalacion fue muy sencilla como toda motherboard, y al primer botonazo encendio y posteo sin ningún problema, como siempre la calidad de Intel y Asus salen a relucir.
En cuanto a look, se ve increible con el estilo de espejo del logo de ROG y los led en la parte del IO Shield.
Lo bueno:
- Excelente costo
- Facil de instalar
- Incluye todos los accesorios y cables necesarios
- Prestaciones excelentes
- Look increible
Lo malo:
- No se si es el diseño de los conectores del CPU pero quedaron super justos con mi AIO Cooler.
- Solo trae 1 solo puerto USB 2.0 interno.
