ASUS Celebrates 30 Years of Motherboard Manufacturing with ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30 Mainboard

Over the past 30 years, ASUS has created millions of motherboards, spanning through eras of the PC market that have seen form factors shift, multi-core designs come into vogue and rival companies rise and fall as each of them reached for the top of the PC market. 

To celebrate their 30 years within the motherboard market, ASUS has designed a new X299 motherboard which will offer its users peak overclocking potential, a myriad of new features and a professional aesthetic. This motherboard is the ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30. 

The Prime X299 Edition 30 offers a power delivery system which can maximise the overclocking potential of 18-core processors like Intel’s i9-9990XE, with VRM’s that are capable of handling sustained loads of 544W. On top of this, ASUS has also updated this X299 offering with WIFI 6 capabilities through Intel’s AX200 wireless adapter, and Bluetooth 5.0, vs the Bluetooth 4.1 that’s available on other X299 motherboards. 

ASUS has also added to 2-inch OLED displays to their Edition 30 design, which can be used to display system stats, messages, animated GIFs and other data. ASUS has also given this motherboard support for three M.2 SSD slots, each of which is capable of PCIe 3.0 x4 connectivity.  

To top everything off, ASUS has added premium features like a pre-mounted I/O shield, support for two RGB LED strips, 5GB Ethernet and more. At this time ASUS has not announced the pricing or release date of their X299 Prime Edition 30 motherboard.
