From a firmware perspective, all ASUS X299 boards will be compatible. What you buy depends on how much overclocking you wish to do. The Rampage Apex and Rampage Extreme models are the best if you're looking at pushing the platform.

Thanks Raja.
I'm happy to push the hardware as far as possible. Stability is key though.
I'm planning to custom water-cool the system. Does EK make a block(s) for the APEX board?

Yes, EK have blocks ready to undergo validation - pending physical board samples from us.

Do you know, will it be a Mono block or a traditional split, two part block?
Are there any performance gains from using a combines mono block?

It's only monoblock for EK (CPU and VRM) 😉

Soo.. There will still be two blocks with a mono block, assuming there's one for the CPH + CPU/VRM?
Do they offer better performance or just cheaper to manufacture?
