MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming 'Coffee Lake' Motherboard Review

[Crashman]

hmm, I guess you learn something new each day. I had no idea that you could do that.

Not only that, but when the forward part of the slot connector is open, you can stick in a longer card and usually have it work (at lower bandwidth).

You missed the power part. you cant get 75 watts out of 1 lane slot .. If I remember right it has 25 watts only. so you still have power restriction , not all cards will work.

Nah, I just left out the power part and said "usually"
Your card has more supplemental power connector pins than it needs right?
Yeh, I know some don't, and others don't even have supplemental power connectors, that's included in "unusually"
