This motherboard ACTUALLY supports 128GB of RAM.
- Lots of PCIe lanes - True x16 PCIe slot that can bifurcate to x4x4x4x4 - True x4 Slot - And a x1 Slot - Two M.2 slots that do not interfere with any other component
The board looks great, and the tool free install of the nvme is a nice addition. I like have all the pci lanes for my gpu as well.
Everything is perfect!
- Preset overclocking and built-in heatsinks. - Wifi 7 and 10G LAN - Fan controller as accessory - Plenty of premium metals to ensure solid mobo!
-Booted straight into BIOS on the first try -Stable while running RAM at advertised speeds with XMP profile, no tweaking required
- High-end IPMI + dual 25gb LAN = great value at $450. - Multitude of BIOS configuration options. - 1-week burn-in went well.
everything works great

Did someone say USB?! If you run a VR or sim racing rig and need lots of USB ports, this board is the one for you. You get 14 USB ports just on the rear panel, with USB 2.0, 3.1 and 3.2 front panel connectors for even more. The top PCIe slot is gen 5, so it will support any new GPU upgrades for a long time. VRM is very strong too, so it should be able to handle a 9950X without a sweat. It handles my overclocked 7700 just fine. On board audio is also a nice spec but you probably already have an audio interface if you're getting a board like this. All NVME slots area tool-less style, but you still need to unscrew the heatsink for slots 2 and 3. The top NVME slot has cooling pads on both sides so it should be able to cool gen5 SSDs decently well. I don't have a gen5 drive so I can't test this.
