Hmmmm... that additional m.2 slot is tempting. 🤣

Seriously though... board seems a bit overkill.

I still have yet to see a listing for 64gb UDIMMs. Idk how I feel about having the max amount of ram being more than you can realistically use with it.

They need to put u.2 u.3 in these boards =)

Price or is it in the order of if you have to ask you can not afford it?

4 x 64GB kits of desktop DDR5 exist? That must be new.
But if so, I imagine a lot of 4 slot motherboards will support it.

It would be over-the-top if these boards had 6 or 7 16x pci-e slots and all of that horizontal/flat board space wasn't wasted with m.2s when m.2s can easily fit on a pci-e card in a slot, even better outright eliminate SATA and put SATA into an m.2 riser or pcie.

It's a much better use of available board space while still having m.2s available on the board itself.

Realistically, they need to design an m.2 "slot" that's completely vertical like a DDR slot instead of the horizontal that lays flat.

If it was 8 x SSD slots I would have gotten it. Alas, with only 5 no go.

I wonder if either of those PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots are shared. Technically Zen 5 should have enough PCIe 5.0 lanes available, but I'm not sure which PCIe lanes are reserved for USB 4.

Price or is it in the order of if you have to ask you can not afford it?

The X670E version launched at ~$1300, Z690 was a limited edition that came with other stuff at ~$2100 and Z790/Z790 MAX at ~$1200.

Yeah I knew it was up there... after all it is "Godlike." And no... the 5th m.2 slot isn't worth it. I'm good with 4.

Took a minute to go look around, to my shock and amazement someone actually did make a vertical m.2 slot for a motherboard. It's sad this didn't catch on it would save a ton of space.

This is from an Asus X99 Deluxe II. Admittedly this seems only feasible with the much shorter m.2 2230s and not the long 2280 shown here.
