MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Motherboard Review - Gaming Till Disconnected

Introduced at Computex earlier this year, the MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Motherboard is the newest motherboard from MSI utilising the X99 chipset. Although the X99 chipset has been out for a while – and we have covered another MSI X99 motherboard – the MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Motherboard comes packed with a great deal of new technologies from MSI. Most of which, if not all of, may become commonplace at enthusiast level motherboards.

Hey dude you said the PC app does not have a color wheel. It does. You passed it in the video at 11:58. The rainbow color in the bottom right opens a color wheel.

Fantastic review! I had to make the switch from Rive to this. I have had nothing but amazing results with this board. I really find the mystic Light feature useless and yest the flashy lights wear off after a day or so. I hear a lot of people complain about the color of the board being red. This folks should not be an issue as it sometimes looks like a very dark color once inside the case. Does not clash if you have other colors in your system

Your video is top notch <3 Keep doing more <3 New sub :)

Does it come with the I7 chip installed or do you have to buy the I7 chip separate?

[thcdark]

[cesarsantosvisballambis]

Can i use 4 nvidia ge forcé titan x, the cpu : Intel core 5960x with lga 2011-v3 and a device cooler like corsair hydro series 100i gtx , in this motherboard??

[troy]

Deos this have the PLX chip or is SLI 16x8x8x8 or 8x8x8x8...?
Perhaps, 2 cards in SLI 16X16 :D

I use 4 card and I can't use top internal USB 3 connector or the bottom one, this really sucks but sadly no front USB for me, for this money the design really is not optimal, if you use 4 cards think twice . Also the lower CPU temp indicator will be hidden by card and on top so much space, Who designed 4 way SLI Mobo and not think about this in first place it is so obvious the 5th slot is hard to plug any card in as it will interact with your USB 2 and Fan connectors as well .

i purchased this item about two years ago. my question is in 2021 is it still good enough

[JustFluxz]

Can you remove the antennas from the stands? I would much rather attach them directly to the back of the computer.

[AwesomeSkillz]

hey, does msi godlike carbon come with 3 way sli bridge? or should i buy 1

[AbrarAhmed]

Hello. Do you recommend this motherboard over the Asus Rampage V Extreme? Also if possible, do a comparison between these two motherboards. I have heard a lot of problems in Asus RVE. I have a old laptop now, but soon I will be building a new pc with 5960x and need a future proof motherboard. Btw, awesome video!

[Eviscerator]

is it 5.1 surround or 7.1 for the nahimic audio software?
