That shows in for example the memory results you have seen. See re-using that X99 platform also means that the hardware is refined and tweaked. An X99 based motherboard as such remains enthusiast class hardware that now can be paired with Broadwell-E processors, seriously fast clocked DDR4 memory, you'll have M.2 SSD capabilities at proper speeds (yeah I do call 2,500 Mb/sec a proper speed, lol!) and obviously some niche things like the U2 connector (not the band) all alongside that brilliant RGB lighting system. This is why the motherboard manufacturers did their absolute best to make things a little different. The chipset itself offers all that is needed of course, but remains more of the same. Now obviously little is new about the X99 PCH chipset (Wellsburg) of course, what triggered the release of the updated series is a direct effect of Intel's choice to re-use that LGA Socket 2011 with Broadwell-E processors. From A to Z everything has been through throug really well. Features wise you cannot complain whatsoever, well perhaps maybe a second M2 slot would have been nice, but now I am nitpicking.

The all new 10 th anniversay edition of the Rampage 5 (ROG X99 RAMPAGE V Edition 10) is super sexy! It is tweaked to the max already for you, in the BIOs you can just flick a few switches and registers change, and boom you are overclocked.
