X99 board needed...

[gougoul]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a x99 mobo matching following needs :

1. Fit inside a silverstone ft05 case
2. Boot from a M2 SSD, preferably PCIe*4
3. Be able to have 2 drives in raid 1, and another "normal" drive
4. OC features aren't really a must
5. Be able to take 2 Gfx cards
6. if possible, skip the ugly "DOS" boot screens.

Thanks for your opinions

ASRock boards have the ability to bypass the ASRock logo screen and go straight to the Windows boot screen. It's called Ultra Fast Boot Mode, which is exclusive to Windows 8. With that, you can manually restart to the UEFI BIOS screen using a desktop application that can be installed from the utility installer CD if you need to go into the BIOS for any reason. It's a nice utility to have and I can boot to the Windows login screen in 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the power switch on my PC. And that is with hybrid sleep/shutdown activated, which is set by default in Windows 8.
