Man Thank you for your videos. I hope your channel grows a lot more. Please Please Pretty please make such videos for motherboards and for older motherboards if you can as well man. You can be our go too channel for motherboard information.

Will this board be fine for upcoming 5080 or 5090? Apparently they are gen 5 cards

Finally a video that explains the layout of the PCI lanes on this board, been looking for this for a long time! Great video, thank you! Just to be sure, if i leave M.2_2 and PCIE2 empty PCIE1 will have all 16 lanes Gen 5.0.And last question: SATA connections don't take up any lanes?

[Leos-World]

Thank you. Very helpful, to the point, information!

Not sure if I understood this correctly but pcie5 x8 = pcie4 x 16 lanes wise. So if I occupied the m.2_2 slot then my motherboard will drop to pcie5 x8, but my gpu will still runs in pcie4 x16? Thanks for the help!

I would like to ask, will using a USB4 port have any impact on the graphics card's PCIe lanes? The diagram shows that USB4 is in copper color (PCIe 4), but is it using PCIe 5.0 lanes? I am considering purchasing this motherboard, so I would appreciate clarification on this matter. Thank you!

I will be install a m.2 drive in which m.2 i should install to get the maximum output of my gpu?

[MASTRHITAZA]

So if I had 2x Gen 4.0 SSD's the best two slots to use would be M.2_1 and M.2_3 or M.2_1 and M.2_4?

I ask as want to confirm what also is probably best thermal wise and does the first PROM 21 Chipset communicate faster than the second?

If i was going to buy hyper m2 gen4 asus, which pcie lane do i connect it? Thank you.

[Sakirth]

Could you do one of these for the MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi as well?

[DarksideCommander]

what if i put an gen 4 pci ssds in gen 5 slots will it still cause gpu lanes to cut in half still from x16 to x8?

Which board would you sugest for CPU 9950x for double 7900XTX and 2 NVME SSD to use at max speeds? mainly for AI development? thanks in advance

[VexOoo-xy]

Could you explain to me what slot I need to plug my GPU into if I'm buying a 5080 card or 5090? As I understsnd that those are the first gen 5 GPUs. I only want to use 2 m2 slots for SSD, where should I put those? Thanks and I'll sub because you seem very knowledgeable on this.

Looks like I have to remove my 2nd m.2 reducing my graphics to 8x.
