The past few weeks I've been testing out the MSI X99A Workstation motherboard courtesy of MSI Computer and it's been working out very well across a spectrum of open-source Linux (as well as BSD) use-cases for those in need of a LGA-2011 v3 motherboard.

The MSI X99A Workstation motherboard was rolled out this summer as one of the newer Intel X99 products and comes with full support for the Broadwell-EP/Broadwell-E LGA-2011 v3 CPUs, dual Intel Gigabit LAN, USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A/C connectivity, M.2/U.2 storage support, DDR4 ECC support, SATA Express, support for three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, and more.
