Hello everyone, this is my first build, and have done some basic research including compatibility, but some of the spec jargon still confuses me, and could really appreciate some help. For my first build I want to go with:
On pcpartpicker.com, it says its all compatible, but it says that the motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0GB/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s is disabled. Is that something I need to be concerned about?
For this build I want to use 6 total fans, 1 comes installed with the case, 3 come with the AIO pump, and I want to place 2 more for the overhead. I plan on replacing each stock fan with something aura sync capable. Will this motherboard allow me to use 6 addressable fans, and if not what are some options that I have?
Please feel free to give me any other inputs or recommendations on my build, like I said it's my first so any feedback is good feedback.
