Hi, thanks for your post! I ended up with the 285 because I got it on a New Egg bundle deal with the ROG Z890 Apex, which I got because it is the only motherboard on the market for consumer CPUs that has the PCIe 4.0 slots situated above the PCIe 5.0 slots. This was essential for me because I am...

It does have Bluetooth 5.4. And the mouse has what appears to be a Bluetooth switch... but it's never seemed to work.

Hmm... my extension cable is an Amazon Basics and it seems to be power only... I'll have to get a data extension... And Bluetooth seems not to work at all. It is not broadcasting a signal when switched to BT... This looks like it's a faulty unit... I'll reach out to Logitech... I was playing...

I'm using the wireless USB dongle. I have another mouse that, when on wireless, acts just fine. But this Logitech is very erratic. The Lotitech app says the firmware is up to date...

Thanks for the reply! It's the Logitech MX Master 3S. There are a slew of things plugged into my mb: two wireless mice, two wireless keyboards, launch monitor, two swing cameras, touch monitor, microphone, backup disk... and probably something I'm forgetting.

It appears that wireless mice prefer USB 2.0 connections to the mb. Unfortunately, I upgraded my system, and it has only 3.0 or better on it. And yes, my wireless mouse is very erratic when plugged into the mb directly. Currently, I have it on a USB dock, that that seems better, though it's...

I wanted to revisit this and thank you again. I did stall out on getting a video of the stuttering. And I did come across a deal that I decided to jump on. Part of my interest was indeed to build my first computer as a fun learning experience, so that played into my actions. I purchased the ROG...

The gaming benchmarks would be fine I think. I hadn't realized that the 265K is that much faster in productivity applications. It does sound like the one to get, especially at $300. Thank you so much for your help!

Wow, that is quite the advantage to the 265K. That would be much fI'aster in my use case. I don't do much on the PC other than run my golf simulator and simple word processing and web browsing. I thought that I'd get into a couple games, such as a flight simulator or that warship battle game...

I'd seen that! I also just saw that NewEgg has the combination 890Apex and the 285 at $100 off. Hmm... I've only found pretty unfavorable reviews of the 265, but my thoughts are that, for my use, it would be likely faster than my current Ryzen 7700X. Particularly in that Apex with CUDIMMs...

And a good friend actually suggested that I might think Threadripper, given all I'm trying to do... But, that seems to be such a big step up... And so I've tried to find a consumer board that will do what I want.

So how much bandwidth does a 5090 card use? I know that a 4090 doesn't saturate PCIe 4.0 x 16, so halving a 5.0 slot doesn't harm the 4090. But what about the PCIe 5.0 5090?

When it's clear that virtually no one uses two GPUs, and certainly not two GPUs that need PCIe 5.0? So why would anyone use that second 5.0 slot with the effect of cutting the GPU's bandwidth by half? Take the Godlike MB, for example. It makes more sense to me to have one 5.0 slot, with the...

I wasn't aware that any 670 boards have Wi-Fi 7 or Bluetooth 5.4, if that is what you said. They came out too long ago, or so Copilot tells me! So you are saying that the 870E boards have fewer PCIe lanes than the prior generation of 670E boards? I was not aware of that! Well, what I need are...

Gosh, thanks so much for the reply! I'll have to study it. Some of the abbreviations... I have to learn, such as DMI, EPYC, IOD... Lanes... I am reading, for Intel, 48 lanes of 4.0, with 20 from the CPU and 28 from the Chipset. And for AMD, 36 lanes of 4.0, with 24 from the CPU and 12 from the...
