The top dependable X99 motherboard is widely recognized for its performance and stability.
I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another x99 motherboard because my ASUS x99-a is already D.O.A. I've been using dual-channel for some time now due to a dead dimming port, which I only discovered recently. I'm looking for the most dependable and durable options. The used market for these boards is currently quite active, and I'm comfortable spending a bit more for quality. I was considering the MSI Godlike Gaming Carbon board, but I've read there are some problems with it.
My EVGA FTW board has performed well, and the Classified board from them is also highly regarded. However, I wouldn't invest heavily in an X99 board unless you're willing to spend over $150-200, as switching to an r7 2700 and a B450 board might be more cost-effective.
I'm not aware of any specific reports about the MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon, but I can help you check recent reviews or forums for any issues users have encountered.
