ASRock Shares Some More Details About its X670E Taichi Motherboard

Most are going that route. I may just get a Threadripper at that point.

Beware the single generation platform. I won't trust AMD again on HEDT.
If you need a lot of PCIe though I get it, but you could arguably buy an AM5 gaming system and an AM5 productivity system with the slots bifurcated for the same cost.

Im not worried about it.

This board is shockingly sparse on the PCIe slots. That's a serious deal-breaker.

Lol. Wouldn’t need much m.2 slots if there was more 4TB options and at an affordable price.

All, was joking about removing all PCIe slots. It was a sarcastic complaint about mobo makers only having really 1 PCIe slot

Looking good!
I know 26 phases is absurd but seeing them lined up like that is somewhat satisfying (probably not worth the premium).

On the other hand I feel like having all those SATA ports is becoming osbolete when most storage is on PCI-e and maybe 1 or 2 huge HDDs for everything that doesn't require speed.

Most of them are, I really hope AMD tells them to backpedal on the design or release a X670S model (these boards look like mATX and not ATX/EATX).

If i really wanted m.2 I'd put it in a pcie card with a fansink

Philosophy of infinite what? I hate when they write that weird shit on stuff. Just stfu and make a board.
Angled power connectors would've been nice.

Need extra room in a case for that, expecially the ATX 24 power

Where are you buying your motherboards? As a rule I don't stock ATX boards that don't have at least 4 total. MATX is at least 2. Room for expansion is a key feature of a PC. It what makes a PC a PC.

Doubtful. Chip maker have no say in the design specs of boards.

In the end it's just a matter of taste, maybe you care more about slotting random pci expansion cards, maybe others care more about coming up with a cool raid configuration with their nvme drives directly on the motherboard and 2 pci-e x16 slots are enough for them.

Im talking about the AM5 generation

But they make the chipset through AS Media. AM4, AM3 and even AM2 had way more pcie slots

Dissapointing that they go with 4 dimm, oc potential is lower than 2 dimm on DDR5 as shown by Alder lake.

There are records for 4 dimms and 8 dimms

There can be, but generally it is far easier for 2 dimm to reach the top. Daisy chain can reach high speeds, but the latter two slots will perform poor so a 4 dimm setup on a D-chain board is a waste, the last two slots are basically just for show so why have them? T-top on the other hand makes more sense if you want a lot of ram running quite fast.

I care about expandablity. Two PCIe slots means few options for addin cards. Sound cards, capture cards, etc, etc, etc..

Network/wifi cards, storage controllers, pci ssds, m.2. to pcie ssds. Usb controllers.

I'm the same it't why I'm scratching my head as to why all X670 boards I've seen look like mATX and not ATX-EATX-WSATX-ATXXL
