Looking nice!
I really like how those sata and USB headers are having that right angle
I would prefer a 10G NIC for this price!
Also
Is C° 80/60 is considered as excellent?
The 2nd 3rd 4th m.2 slots are literally under the GPU
If you start using the GPU too, those poor SSD will melt!
On the block diagram from the review's 4th page bottom
or page 74 of the manual
Is rubbish...
The block diagram should give you clear information on a glance regarding limitations...
Does not tell information regarding:
PCI_E1, PCI_E2 and M2_2 share the bandwidth. Please refer to the PCIe configuration table on page 21 for more details.
