Sorry, but the consumer market is much bigger than described in this thread: and the post about Intel keeping expansion options down affects all consumer motherboard makers, not just the DIY segment... Thanks for the post and have a great day.

I'm still hoping that somebody out there has built a machine on this motherboard...

MrGuvernment ..... Thank you for writing back and, essentially, debunking the PC Mag article that I quoted earlier in this thread. Another dude that I bumped into on another forum told me that half of the "tech articles" he reads these days are written by folks who research Reddit for their...

Chuklr ..... So PCH is the brains behind what I refer to as "DMI." Thank you.

RazorWind ..... First things first, the WRX80E Sage system you put together is quite the PC work station. Great job! As I mentioned in the OP, I've been away from PCs for over a decade, so please go easy on and old vet. As I researched the AMD Threadripper Pro (TP) 3955WX, I saw other...

RazorWind ..... Would you please elaborate a bit more about the WRX80E Sage system you mentioned? More details about the components attached to the motherboard, for example, would be very helpful.

re: Asus ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi motherboard I'm looking for anyone who's built a PC on this board or any other feedback about same. Thank you for your time

The excerpt that I placed into my last post (Post no. 9) is predicated on the future, and PCIe 5.0, specifically. I started this thread with future expansion options in mind, so what the author of the article had to say about how PCIe 5.0 can and cannot be used is what I'm concerned with at the...

I read an article last night on PC Mag dot com about the newest "lake" CPUs, Alder Lake, and the new Z690 chipset used with it. Here (below) is an excerpt from the article: As the author cited the (20) PCIe lane limit that Intel chose for their so-called "top end" consumer-level CPUs, it...

I never claimed to be Ernest Hemingway, so perhaps it was my writing...but I think that you may have missed the point. As I mentioned in the sentence above, there's no doubt in my mind that the newer components are "faster" than the components that came before them, but that's not what I...

Thank you for the post. Would you mind elaborating on what "...a death platform..." is?

The PC tech is evolving so quickly that even similar threads are out of date now, so I thought that I'd run this one by the [pardon the pun] "board" to get the latest... Okay, after more than 10 years away from building/operating our own PCs, I've found a need to run so-called "abandonware"...

That's so funny. I can't tell you how many times I cut/pasted/shared the Intel Core i7-12700K Expansion Options spec chart shown in Post No. 4 trying to get a handle on the very same thing; namely, why Intel chooses to hang the consumer out to dry when it comes to PCIe resources. I mean...
