What kind of capture card can I put on this motherboard and how many capture cards can I install? For example, one 4K Elgato Pr and One Blackmagic Capture card? I have a graphics card in it already but wondering where I can put the capture cards>?

You know the names of the cards but have no idea what interface they use? I think you should look at pictures and actually read descriptions. You will find your answers if you take the time to read and look. The motherboard has 4 pcie slots. Your video card is using one. Depending on the size of your other cards you can use up to 3..

Does the USB C (AKA thunderbolt port) actually work? Several models of ASUS ROG laptops the port doesn't work because ASUS didn't develop drivers to enable it. Did they develop drivers for their desktop motherboard line?

Technically speaking, this is NOT a TB3 port... I know it might look like one but the specs specifically list a usb3.1 gen 2 type c connector... NOT a thunderbolt port. If it were a Thunderbolt port, it would have to be listed as such. Just because it shares the same connection interface as USB C, does not mean every USB C is Thunderbolt. There are ASUS MOBOs that do in fact have a thunderbolt(gen I-III) port built in. However, they USUALLY denote these models with the iconic lightning bolt icon.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. You can indeed use 8 SSDs with this ASUS X399 motherboard. Thank you, Newegg Support

Is this an upgrade from the normal Zenith Extream? Does it have the good or bad processor latch?

Have no idea for the item your saying but my latch works just fine. Asus support on the other hand is another topic.

Does this board support SR-IOV?

Hello, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. None of the provided materials for this motherboard appear to denote SR-IOV support. For more detailed information, we would suggest reaching out to ASUS directly. Thank you, Newegg Support
