    I still prefer Asus x99 deluxe 2 because of the wifi

    I too prefer the same Asus x99 deluxe 2.

    Why provide a redesign of X99 that STILL has SATAe, a completely dead and useless connector? If there were a SINGLE available device for it, there would be minimal logic to this, but I'm incredulous that a refresh wastes board space and unnecessary I/O complexity supporting this.

    The design is probably just a revision of the previous board, and as such it would've been way more work to remove than just leave in.

    This MB would be amazing if you could OC the current gen of Xeons while keeping ECC.

    I suspect this is still impossible due to chipset/CPU restrictions.

    So you either can install a Broadwell-E and get OC but no ECC.
    Or you can install Xeon E5 v4 get ECC but lose OC capability.

    Am I right that you can not OC Xeon E5 v4s no matter the MB chipset ?
