Great Rundown, I find myself always learning something new about something that already has extensive coverage here. Keep up the great content. Love it.
Nice thorough coverage as always! I would still rather see 5 or 6 general purpose PCIe slots than more M.2 NVMe slots that can only be used for one thing. I personally can't find a use case for more than two NVMe slots and if I do I could just buy a PCIe to M.2 adapter( or add a 10Gbe or Mellanox card as you said). I suspect these M.2 NVMe slots are a manufacturing cheap-out. Anyway cant wait for Linux testing ;)
@@jjdawg9918 I have software licenses that are far more expensive than the hardware. And many restrict the number of reinstalls and that might be required sometimes on restoring backups. So i just can't risk it. Also a missed day because of a failed drive can cost me a lot of money, especially if it happens and i break a deadline date. SSD failures were quite frequently for me compared to all other failures.
Hmm that would be an interesting test, although I seem to recall that the thermal capacity for that cooler is lower then say an NHD-15, and if the new i9 can overwhelm and NHD-15 under a blender workload then I doubt the IceGaint would perform all that well. LTT actually breaks down where it falls short fairly well in their video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-BWEDfrE9c.html
I remember days when you could buy entire new pc with dedicated graphics card for price of this motherboard, and it was good enough to play games at 1080p medium. Can we call it a progress?. No. New parts are faster but also more expensive and more power hungry (at least on Intel side). I would want to see comparsion of few generations of cpus @same power consumption.
I bought the ddr5 4800 from the QVL list for the carbon wifi but now I want the Unify for the sli. The piont is, the QVL memory list have now been erased/changed from anything above 4800 mhz. I don't know why but now I don't know if I can just switch boards because the new amended QVL list doesn't show my memory on the compatibility anymore. Maybe their trying to stop ddr5 scalping. I don't know.
hi mate,thanks for the info.can u elaborate on the 12900k igpu situation.so providing the vga detection setting in bios with this mobo is set to auto,i can use the 12900k's onboard gpu in adobe alongside my 3090 ? and also,if this is correct,does it need a software driver?i cant see any on the msi product page
Are P-cores Priority Scheduling for your use . and E-cores for Windows 11 Microsoft Telemetry and reporting back on your habits ? a moving toward every thing goes to the cloud in the back ground .....
All that DMI bandwidth and no $%#$%# PCIe slots. Gah. I shouldn't have to convert NVMe slots to PCIe x4 with an adapter and then use a riser kludge to add a capture card or two (or Thunderbolt or a 10Gbe NIC). Can these motherboard makers just put in the x4 slots? One can always convert them to NVMe later!
Uh actually if you use the U-key the motherboard makes you drop your pants and checks that you're a man before letting you in. Source: Just trust me bro
