@@Laurentschoice it's certainly not a review, you just presented a product. I didn't learn anything that I couldn't just read (and I already read) on the specs page. You don't even point out that the DIMM.2 slot shares lanes with the gpu slot. You didn't run any performance test, thermals test (chunky heatsinks without fins are good to absorb a heat spike, but once they reach a stable temperature they do very little to cool, so it would be interesting to see if there's any performance drop on the chipset and or/SSDs after prolonged usage). Also the audio DAC is included to increase the perceived value, because even if they sell it for hundreds of dollars it probably cost them less than 5$ to make.
@Laurentschoice2 жыл бұрын
Hmmmm... I guess you missed the thermal testings. In the video and on camera I test the VRM, it's heatsinks, the chipset heatsink, the m.2 SSD heatsinks with thermal gun and share the thermal images. You can see them as well, and a bit more , on my articles online. I wasn't aware asus now includes VRM specs , chipset wattages, etc.... on their spec pages. I learn something everyday :) I hope this helps

Great vid. Very funny, informative and entertaining. However, the most important points NOT covered here, is what happens to all those pcie lanes when you populate all five m.2 slots with m.2 drives???? Will the GPU STILL run at 16x, or does it drop to 8x? Will the bios recognize all five drives at once, and will they run at full speed, or be bogged down to 3.0 speeds WASTING your money for buying 4.0 speed drives????? These are the questions I'd REALLY like to see you address, if you please. Thanks for another great vid.

@@OGHawkeye You need to set it up in the BIOS. Not getting the dimm.2 is a real issue, because it uses different PCIe lanes than the PCIe slots. Basically you can have 1 NVMe in the m_1 (under the screen), and you can have 1 NVMe in the DIMM.2 for "free", but if you put 2 in the DIMM.2 or you put 1 in the m_2 or m_3 and the first PCIe goes down to 8x and the second PCIe to 4x or 0x if you install in the m_2 AND m_3. The cpu only has so many PCIe lanes (20+4) so they give you these choices.
