Multi-GPU setups with up to three high-end graphics cards are possible and provide the ultimate combination for 4K gaming and Virtual Reality (VR) gaming. The high number of cores is also ideal for video rendering. The Intel Core i9 and Core i7 CPUs are perfect for not only enthusiast gamers but also for content creators. The socket 2066 and X299 chipset forms the perfect basis for Intel's extreme CPUs from the Skylake X with up to 18 cores. Socket 2066 motherboards and Intel's Skylake X CPUs & Kaby Lake X CPUs For simultaneous use of multiple NVME SSDs, the X299 chipset provides 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Another benefit of the new enthusiast platform is the increased M.2 slots supporting the latest NVMe SSDs.

X299 motherboards support quad-channel 2666 Mhz memory and typically allow both automatic and manual overclocking of the RAM. Here is a brief overview of the maximum possible I / O connections: The X299 chipset, codenamed "Lewisburg," proves to be a true all-rounder with up to 30 HSIO lanes (high speed input / output) and a maximum 24 PCIe Express 3.0 lanes. Socket 2066 motherboards with the X299 chipset serve as a performance platform for high-end Intel Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors. Socket 2066 motherboards with Intel's X299 chipset Motherboards with the X299 chipset / 2066 socket offer great connectivity and allow the overclocking of Intel CPUs with an unlocked multiplier. The 2066 socket replaces the aging 2011 V3 as the processor socket for Intel's high-end consumer segment.Īlso referred to as LGA 2066, the 2066 socket provides the perfect platform for enthusiast gaming PCs and high-performance workstation PCs. Motherboards that utilise the 2066 socket and X299 chipset are designed for Intel's Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors. Intel Motherboard By Socket and Chipset: LGA 2066 (X299)
