[Chinmay Suman]

I am planing to buy a new computer ( gigabyte x99 ud4 , Intel i7 5820k , Gigabyte GV-N760OC 2GB Graphics card, 32 GB ram)

But In in internet I find Gigabyte x99ud4 some bios issue old bios have some bugs . I haven't any knowledge about hardware and how update bios. And I noticed bios update is risky if i cant do it properly. I want to buy a computer back home and want do my work (3d animation) without any problem and without this type of issue. And i haven't any planing about overclocking my pc.

So I want your suggestion which mother should I buy. Even I don't know about gigabyte x99 ud4 what type of bugs or is it major issue ? I am a software user and it is difficult me to solve any hardware problem.

Or please give me a good x99 motherboard suggestion which support 64GB ram without any problem .

Motherboard tier list: X99 chipset

________________________________________________

Tier One: THE BEST. 4 Way SLI supported, can do some serious OCing, all premium features, these boards are the best X99 you’ll get in the market. Usually in the $250-650 price range, they’re all good for some extreme OCing or quad GPU fun! They still differ in features, like EXTREME11 has gigantic number of storage ports, since all boards in this tier particular have all premium features, further tiering might not be appropriate.


X99 Extreme11
Rampage V Extreme
GAMING 9 AC (ACK as well)
X99-E WS
EVGA FTW
EVGA Classified
GAMING G1WIFI
UD5 WIFI
GAMING 5
SOC FORCE
XPOWER AC
OC Formula
X99 Professional
X99 WS
UD4
UD3

NOTE: No MoBos except the Asus X99 E-WS (due to PLX chip) support 4 way SLI w/ i7 5820k due to 28 PCIe lanes.


________________________________________________

Tier Two: Very high end. 3 Way SLI capable boards with M.2 slot and great OCing capabilities. Have all the premium features, and are just a step below the best MoBos.


Extreme4 (mATX edition as well)
X99S SLI Plus
X99-A
X99 Deluxe
Fatal1ty X99X Killer (Not the mATX edition)
Extreme6 (as well as AC edition)
MPOWER
Gaming 7
X99-PRO

NOTE: Some MoBos may not support 3 way SLI w/ i7 5820k.


________________________________________________

Tier Three: High end. These are entry level X99 boards, still great quality wise, not the best features wise, but have SLI capability and many SATA3 ports. M.2 is not a compulsion though.


Extreme3
EVGA Micro
Fatal1ty X99M Killer
