The motherboard looks very sleek and chic with its cuts of RGB lighting.

Translucent slits that light up at the top along with the OLED makes the X299 Deluxe unique indeed. Its OLED is cool, and I liked using it for diagnosing startup problems, as it spells out the POST Codes as they are happening. While it's not the flashiest motherboard, it offers enough along the lines of being RGB-lit.
