    Ultimately - I'm expecting that a north PCH (PLX chip) is already in development for use with W680 if it gets proper official support. The performance of these 12th gen CPUs is great. When you can pair them with good DDR5 you get plenty of bandwidth. If they took that 16 lanes of 5.0 they could break that out into so many components to make a pseudo HEDT. I mean in theory they could take it out as far as like 6 full 16 lane slots and let vendors / end users decide how to split it up. That's what I was expecting to see with the rumored W680, but it looks like that just won't be the case; or it's late / canned / just not getting leaked.

If so will it throttle it down to 4800 or 5200? Really hope I didn't waste $360 lol.

I guess a mirror could be useful if you want that extra security but wouldn't a stripe setup increase the latency negating the NVMe advantages?

    I built a 12600 with Aurus DDR4 board with no issues. But when I put in a 12700K all I get is random reboots. So I replaced the 12700K and get the same thing. So I ordered an MSI Carbon DDR5 board with the 12700K and it still happens. At this point, I replaced everything from the case to the PS and still get random reboots and BSD. I have been in IT for 20+ years and I just can figure this out. Any ideas?

I just delete the games I don't use n can get them back from steam.. Anyway I've always been a couple GENS behind on CPU and motherboards.. I try to get 2/3 GPU up grades before doing anything else.. Finally come the conclusion that I will have to pay scalper prices for a 6800xt or 6900xt which ever, doesn't really matter that much at this point... Also I have seen a BIOS for my board from ASROCK for some X370 boards, to run 5000 ryzen flawlessly and still hit 3200 to 3600 on the memory.. So.e guys are using beta bios through ASROCK to run 5900x's on x370 taichi's and other mother boards.. Look not knock the new tech coming out just the price to performance... SO THINKING about picking up a 5800x to after the gpu though an when the 5800x is selling for $300..

RTX 3000 just got pcie4.0 and none of them are even bottlenecked by a 3.0 x16 slot... SSD will max out pcie 5.0x4 long before 5.0x16 is necessary for a GPU they should have made it 2 full speed 4.0 x16 slots... also when are they just gonna put all those m.2 on a add in card

      @tthbeige3332 Před 2 lety

      Recently I watched an AHOC video where he rambled about plx chips, and from what understood, they are expensive($100?)
      I’m now not sure I know what a PLX chip does, but pcie 5.0 is probably going to make it more expensive.
      But maybe a chip that doubles lanes and halves speed could be a bit over powered. Imagine a board like this or the z690 unify, 70 lanes of 3.0 and 16 lanes of 4.0. Chipset lanes math may be of by a bit, but this could rival the threadripper platform. (Edit: And from my understanding, Intel doesn’t have a threadripper competitor, so it could benefit Intel)
      Obviously I am not a chip/PCB/motherboard designer/engineer but bandwidth wise I see no issues, latency could be an issue.

      @@tthbeige3332 PLX - basically ethernet switch for PCIE lanes. Though I personally think Intel would go with an in house secondary chipset that would mean they get the money while also providing some sort of standard around a pseudo HEDT chipset. That being said though, I'm certain that the power draw would be quite high for that much bandwidth.
      Champ - I'm pretty sure Asus would patent troll anyone that tried that since they already have dimm.2.

Since the cpus only support 1x16 or 2x8 for the gen5 lanes, you'd be sacrificing at least 4 gen5 lanes for the m.2 slot and only have half the bandwidth for the gpu, so no one will do that.

    The annoying thing these days with the VRM and coolers, is that on "most" of the boards where a decent heatsink is installed, there are so many power stages, with such high capability, that crappy heatsinks are fine for even top end CPUs (unless going sub-ambient cooling, but even then, the cooling will probably "leak" to the VRM sufficiently to compensate anyway). However on the low end boards, with crap power delivery, they also use crap coolers.
    Seriously manufacturers, stop ticking marketing boxes and actually engineer them appropriately.
    Yea yea, they don't care, big numbers and shiney things sells boards (KMN).

Or spend 120 ish on a corsair 850 watt. Both are gold units with 10 year warranties. Even if you are under the total power budget of your psu, running it closer to max capacity will degrade it much quicker. Just spend the 100 ish bucks and be set for the next 10 years. Its better than constantly worrying if you do x upgrade will you run out of your power budget. Best upgrade I ever did was 1000 watt corsair psu. Know im good for next generation gpu’s and can run a crap ton of fans and peripherals.

For example if you have a 3080/3090 with 3 8 pins you can flash evga 500 watt bios. If you have 2 8 pins you are limited to 375 watts max. Also just allows smoother power delivery meaning your components last longer. A better power supply in general will keep your components in a better state and will last longer. How are you going to spend 1500 bucks on a card yet power it with a 50 dollar psu. You are limited in your component choice because of your power supply which can potentially prevent you from buying a better value product because it doesnt fit in your power budget. Just pay the 100 bucks and get the power supply and be set for years. Also 3 8 pins just lets you extend the life of your card in the future because you can get another 5-15% out of it with that extra power.
