Question 1

Does this have PCI 5 or PCI 4? The details say PCI 5 but the specs only show PCI 4

Accepted Answer

The product supports PCIe 5.0 according to the product description, and the specifications mention PCIe 4.0. This indicates that the motherboard has PCIe 5.0 capabilities for certain components but lists PCIe 4.0 for others. Please refer to the product description for PCIe 5.0 support details.

Question 2

On this MB I'm going to buy 2-32gb of ram, what slots do I put them in for only 2 sticks? 1 and 3 or something different. I have tried to find a download for the manual but haven't found it. Before I buy I want to make sure I know as much as possible about the MB and all things to consider.

Accepted Answer

If you can see right above where it says DDR5 next to the Ram slots just above it will show you AABB for the slots.
