LGA 2066 X299 platform

This ASUS ROG STRIX motherboard pairs the Intel X299 chipset with an LGA 2066 socket for Core X-series processors. Builders targeting high-core-count workstations or enthusiast gaming rigs use it as the foundation for multi-threaded workloads and expansive I/O.

Sustained load behaviour

The board delivers up to 44 CPU PCIe 3.0 lanes with 44-lane processors, keeping three x16 slots fed at x16/x16/x8 without downshifting. Eight DDR4 slots support 128 GB on 6-core-and-above CPUs, while dual M.2 sockets run at PCIe 3.0 x4 for consistent storage throughput during long renders or compiles.

PCIe 3.0 and DDR4 limits

PCIe 3.0 caps each lane at 8 GT/s, so total bandwidth scales with the installed CPU lane count of 16, 28 or 44 lanes. DDR4 tops out at 4133 MT/s overclocked on this platform; native JEDEC speeds stop at 2666 MT/s, and memory capacity is limited to 64 GB on 4-core processors.

Questions about this item

Will this board take a 44-lane Core X CPU and run three graphics cards at full x16 speed?

With a 44-lane processor the three PCIe x16 slots operate at x16, x16 and x8 electrical; full x16 on all three slots is not possible.

How many DDR4 modules can I install if I choose a 6-core or higher Core X processor?

Eight DIMM slots are usable with 6-core and above CPUs, supporting up to 128 GB total capacity.

Does the board include built-in Wi-Fi, or do I need a separate card?

Onboard 802.11 AC Wi-Fi is integrated, so no extra wireless card is required.
