    I see why gigabyte is still using the 4.0 nvme solution. Having to trade between pcie 5.0 and gen V nvme will be a problem when the new gpus come out. And for games, having that max gpu speed is the most important thing.

    Salut Lorant! I really like your MB-reviews, you just missed out on the one that I'd consider, although you've covered almost all others out of the series: The Asus ProArt x670e The special thing about this one is, that you get 2x Gen5 x8, if both slots are in use, meaning: Two Gen4 (32 GB/s) GPUs, both equally CPU-bound - I have not seen any other board that splits the Gen5 slot in two like this, which might a big plus for creators, when using 2 GPU's, as both of them should be equally fast and performant, as it seems to me. The ProArt x670e also features 10 GbE Lan, plus two USB4 on the back panel (no idea if those are indeed 40 Gb/s wide). Would be nice to hear what you think about this board, as I'm just a user, no expert on motherboards or PC hardware. Best regards and thank you for your deep insights and also your fun approach to cover those dry high-tech matters. Cheers!

    I thought about this some more, and my conclusion is, that the way ASUS did it on the ProArt x670e is the most efficient: - Either, I use a Gen 5 GPU, in the far future, then, the second (Gen5 x8) slot remains empty,.or I plug in 2 existing GPU or whatever boards, then both of them get 32 GB/s bandwidth. Either way, it always takes 16 lanes. On every other board, it will take the 16 Gen5-lanes, plus 4 or 8 more lanes of the second PCIe-slot. - On the OroArt x670e, they have obviously put this saved bandwith into the two USB4 ports plus the 10G Ethernet, as it aeems to me. - My conclusion is: The nerds should tell the mainboard makers, that they shall for now do it as on the ASUS ProArt x670e, as there are almost no Gen5 GPU's out yet, and the way ASUS shows it, we get two times Gen5 x8 directly connected to the CPU, which barely another board is able to deliver. What do you think Laurent? - Is my.vertict right? Or is it not this way, cause I made a mistake? - I think we'd see much better boards coming out - esp. now as the x870e era is just getting launched, if we'd spread some awareness, as there is only so much you can do with 28 lanes, esp. if you already got 16 of them bound, and have only 12 left for ... a) the second CPU slot - ideally at least 8 lanes b) plus: all M.2 NMVe SSD's (but only 8 lanes left) Better only 8+8 lanes on two Gen5 x8 slots, and have the full bandwidth of 99,99% of all GPUs! Again, 12 CPU-lanes are available, but now, we hsve already plugged in two RTX A4000 boards into our two Gen5 x8 slots. - We have gained/saved 8 lanes by applying this trick! - Hope you know what I mean, it's pretty simple, but hard to explain. Cheers from Vienne, Yuri

    Well, I was day-dreaming of this last night, guess that makes me as well some kind of nerdy tweaky nerdy nerd :)) :// ____ Let's maximize PCIe connections: 8+8 lanes, or 1x 16 Lanes: 1 or 2 GPU's +4 Lanes: connect to Chipset A + 4 Lanes: connect to Chipset B [uses twice the bandwidth to Chipsets] + 4 Lanes: 2x USB4 (80 Gb/s) + 2x 10 GbE Lan (20 Gb/s) + 28 Gb/s: low bandwitdth direct USB 2 & USB 3 ports Chipset A: 1x Gen 5 x4 SSD (128 Gb/s) + 1x USB4 (40 Gb/s) + 1x USB 3.2 x2 (20 Gb/2) + 2x 10 GbE Lan (20 Gb/s) + Rest: 48 Gb/s:USB 2 & 3 et al. Chipset B: 3x Gen 4 x4 SSD (192 Gb/s) + 1x USB4 (40 Gb/s) + 1x USB 3.2 x2 (20 Gb/2) + Rest: 4 Gb/s: USB 2 & 3 et al. ____ So, I get: 2x Gen5 x8 or 1x Gen5 x16 PCIe 1x Gen5 x4 M.2 SSD 3x Gen4.x4 M.2 SSD's 4x 10 G Lan 4x USB4 (40 Gb/s) 2x USB 3.2 x2 (20 Gb/s) plus some more USB 2 & 3 ports. _____ Well, I might deliver this to Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock & Co, maybe that can help to inspire them to give us more high-bandwidth connections, which are essential for 4k video productions and stuff like this. Cheers!

    Well, these clickbait titles are kinda off, it's almost like stating that there's a problem with the card, which it hasn't any and still a great GPU performance wise. Also, your scenario may not suit everyone, on my country for example, the situation is a little bit different, the 4070TIS is actually cheaper than the TI non-Super variant (as claimed by NVidia that has a MSRP lower for the Super variants, so the higher prices for them are literally just the resellers fault), and yet, it's 30% cheaper than the 4080S Ventus 3x, so it's definitely a good deal here. Also, in my specific case, the 4070TI Super Ventus *2x* is the highest performing card that I can get that still a dual fan design that'll fit my ITX build perfectly, so I'm going with it without any regrets.

    Hi! I bought this motherboard and I have a question, when I start playing a match on a game it always turn on the red light of the cpu, at first I was scared and I thought something was wrong with the CPU but after investigating I saw that it is only an indicator saying that the cpu is basically working hard. So is that true?

    Hi Laurent, is there a technically correct answer to the problem of the two 8-pin connectors? The manual says nothing, the Asus forum says nothing, every owner of a TUF Z-790-plus is confused. Does this board need you to connect both connectors or not? Some say the board is unstable or won't even boot unless you connect both, others says it's fine with just one connector. I'm talking about people who report stability issues even with a 65W CPU. But is that really related to connecting just one connector??

    Alert ! Despite being Taiwanese Asus have decided to act a bit like the Chinese. They have a so called "support app". This app gives itself permissions to literally everything on your pc, including your personal contacts, registry, etc. No limits. This is spyware like I haven't seen before. All I wanted to know is whether to connect 1 out of 2 8-pin CPU connectors, or both. The manual has no information whatsoever on it, it seems to suggest to connect both, but I think it needs only 1, and I have no intention of getting my privacy invaded in order to send a simple question to Asus. Shame on you, Asus.

    4 sticks of ram needs to work on these new boards and processors that's all that really matters. If the new stuff will do 128 or 192 gb's of 6000 mhz ram then it's golden in my book.
