Board is great, but take a note about the included expansion card...
Board is great but content creators should take a careful note about the included NVMe expansion card...I have this paired with a Threadripper 3970x, dual 2080tis, and an aver media 4k capture card. All watercooled.The board is well built and laid out but there is something to note about the included NVME aero expansion card.You are instructed to put the 4x nvme expansion card into Pci lane 3 as the connectivity of the PCI-e lanes is 16/8/16/8.This is all fine UNLESS you are wanting to run dual GPUs like I do.This board is built around the threadripper 3 chipset and that is aimed at content creators.I bought all the parts for this rig (and this board specifically) for taking advantage of Davinci Resolve. I wanted to use the aero expansion card as a raid array for my cache disk when working on projects.No good with how the PCi lanes are sorted. I originally thought it would be all 16x for all 4 lanes as the TR3 chips have enough PCIe lanes to handle that and then some. WHY they did this when this board is aimed at content creators, I'm not sure. I'd love to be able to use all 4 slots on the board...especially for the price point.I ended up using all 3 on board nvme slots with NVMe_3 and a 1tb PCie 4.0 NVMe drive as my cache drive.Board is awesome. Just wish I had foresight about the bandwidth structure before finding out the nvme expansion aero card and 2x GPUs being incompatible.Additionally, if you onyl run 1 GPU and plan on running the aero expander card, please see the compatibilty list on the MSI site for compatible NVME drives and note that the aero expander card DOES NOT SUPPORT PCIe 4.0 cardsThe tech reviewers on YT fail to mention that one.
