I really like that PCIe 4x to 4x1 lane m.2 slots. I've got a few applications that don't really care about bandwidth, but loves to get the additional latency bonuses that NVMe offers. This solution would be perfect for me :)
I was curious how this x4 m.2 expansion card was configured as I couldn't see a pcie switch chip on the card. According to the manual, the BIOS has an option to enable x1x1x1x1 bifurcation of the chipset x16(x4) slot. Combined with the x8x4x4 bifurcation of the primary x16 slot you could install 3x M.2 in a x4x4x4x4 expansion card in the Primary x16 + 4x M.2 on the included expansion card in the chipset x16 slot + 5x M.2 on the motherboard.
I have the Asrock Gaming Nova Wifi X870E , on Neweeg I got it for 345.00 MSRP price , but this board frequently is sold out , if you get it elsewhere scalper will take care of you for sure . Love this board , I able to get stable with just a hynix ddr5 kit of 2x16gb 6,000mhz very stable at 7200 mhz on Ryzn 7900X , the Ryzen 9000 series have better memory controller so ...The only difference from the Taichi and the Nova, the Taichi have a little more powerful VRM and the ability to overclock with the FLCK feature that The Asus Hero have and the Taichi cost just 475.00 and the Hero 700.00 .Asrock is killing the PC Hardware enthusiast this time for the better 💪
None of Intel's desktop mainboards offer a 4x4x4x4 bifurcation. Just because. And so this is great that AsRock offers a Hyper storage expansion card (as Gigabyte and Asus do), but it must be advertised together with a server/workstation mainboards like for Xeon CPU. Unlike to AMD who offer a 4x4x4x4 bifurcation with some top mainboards (and this is the only advantage of AMD if we're talking about mainboards) PS Gen 5.0 and 4x2 NVMe in PCIex8 would be acceptable. Because it's possible to split a x16 from a CPU into 8x8 for a GPU and the Hyper storage.
@@GGFEvents Sure it works! I wasn't in doubt. Just skeptically supposed that it made more sense with a server MB in a 4x4x4x4 mode (like Gigabyte or Asus similar products did). However if it can provide 4-6 GB/sec read-write speed in a RAID1/5/10 mode with 4 drives, can be usable though
Arrow Lake seems DOA. And I know that doesn’t help with views. I can’t see my self buying anything from Intel again until they add some Gaming Cache to combat Zenx3d and also to state that there is some level of platform longevity. Nova Lake appears to be an impressive Lake that is coming (with Gaming L3 Cache). But who knows if it will work with Z890 LGA1851? Until then Raptor Lake will have to suffice.
I'm curious, where are the X870E boards at? - All these high end Z890 boards for a processor people aren't buying seems like a waste of your time to be honest.
Hm.. Don't you think the entire Ultra lineup is a wasting money, and is for enthusiasts only? Did you checked the prices? I need a new PC for about 3k, and I will never consider Ultra CPUs until their prices reduce to a level where 14-th gen prices are now (like about 400 for a top 7 Ultra).
@@sc0or For me it's not about the pricing but the very poor performance. I mean if you're building a high-end computer why would you pick processors that are slower than their predecessors? - Just doesn't make sense to spend $500-$1000 on a motherboard for a slow processor when faster ones exist.
@@napoficial7123 I know right. Imagine telling people what they should do videos on. Like should we only cover the best performance products on the market?
@@dolpoof2335except they really don't. Z890 has the same pcie lanes available as x870E/B650e. Sure the mem controller is able to run faster but that doesn't make it better.
@GGFEvents I agree that RAID is never backup. But any server guy would never do raid 0. I rather do RAID 10. But each to their own :). Keep up the good vidoes!
“Bang for your buck” on a 500$ mobo? I am not complaining about your review or your choice of words. I am complaining about the situation that we are in where a 500$ mobo is called as such.
It's a pretty good mid-high-end board, 500 bucks is not that bad. Yeah sure some years back those 500 bucks would get you a high-low end board but it's not a bad buy
no ram fan cooling bracket, no dual bios , wheres the cmos reset switch , no built in bluetooth 5.4 , no included contact frame for cpu for such a high end board rather these mobos should have built in contact frame installed form the factory for better cooling

Удивительно что так редко на ютубе упоминаются платы Asrock,которые по качеству уделывают половину конкурентов.

I wish boards came with more physical pcie lanes.

@@JDD_Tech_MODS Hi do you tested already? whats is the highest oc memory you're getting on 9000 series Ryzen
What is the model of that m.2 4x card. I need one of those. Especially if it can get one lane to each drive. Needed for my data hoarding 😅
@@damac2k2 it comes with the board
Why the pcie m2 card does not need bifurcation chip on it? Or they have it on motherboard?
differences to the nova are color, fan and better audio dac otherwise maybe the same product?
@@liekku6683 vrm and connectivity is better on Taichi
Is this Taichi better than Z890 Nova in terms of overclocking?

Intel cpus can actually provide more features, its just the cpu performance (and whatever problems it has) that might be an issue.

Raid 0😱😱😱
@@andyd7728 all my data is raid 0. Multiple raid 0 arrays with the same data. Then again no raid should ever be used for backups

@andyd7728 it's much easier and faster to copy data back than to wait for a raid array to rebuild.
