I thought there wont be any game roundup due to Computex coverage. Anyways will be giving everthing(will wait for reviews of Dragon is dead) a pass this week.

They always were junk, its only now that they have been caught red handed. Havent bought a single shitsus product in over 15 years(since they screwed me over with M2N32 SLi warranty).

Hard pass, will pick up a used Steam Deck.

Onboard audio always was quite crappy and with advent of RTX cards its gotten a lot worse. I am currently using a Creative sound card with my headphones and speakers(Blaupunkt soundbar) which is miles better than crappy Realtek onboard audio. Hardware sound needs to comeback(in much better way...

EVGA didnt have any problems fitting 3x8 pin PCIe Power connectors on tail-end of their Kingpin RTX 2080Ti GPU(Link). Also there are rackmount GPUs which use 8pin CPU power connectors instead of PCIe Plug.

You still have B850 and B650/E all of which support OC on B series of boards while atleast for now there doesnt seem to be A820 chipset which is where overall feature set of B840 seems to land.

That looks like replacement to Ax20 chipset, and other than my personal PC I dont want to OC my clients PCs or dont even want them to touch OC(on accident). Does that PCIe 5.0 x16 slot even matter for consumers outside of enterprise market?

That B650E really didnt make sense given there were X670 boards available at lower prices and with better feature set in many cases(mainly overpriced Shitsus boards). Edit: That B840 is the one that looks the most interesting from value point of view of non-X CPUs.

Absolute stupid decision to put that power connector on product which was heavily marketted as not having that fire hazard of connector.

Good to see GeIL still around, Avexir and couple of others have vanished into thin air.

That fan on air cooler with display is going to be one expensive and propietary fan to replace.

Both Gigabyte and either Asrock or MSI or Asus(only handful of boards unlike GB) have abondened onboard audio(ideally they will just remove that chip and provide a PCIe Slot for add-in card) on their latest generation boards. Atleast that board offer 3 PCIe slots unlike their flagship Z790...

Bios chips sits right under the M2C slot and where SSD controller will be. Depending on the SSD it can cause heat damage to the BIOS chip in long run.

The page is fully up though only shows up using the link in article and website is still not listing board. Also checked the manual and found out 2 out 3 M.2 slots from CPU share bandwidth with PCI-e 16x slot so by default bifurcation is enabled. Also some engineer messed up placement of 3...

For me USB 4 will be used for CFx Type B card reader, also right now only boards that offer native USB 4 are overpriced Shitsus boards and they come with Intel 2.5Gbps NICs(with atleast larger boards having option of 10Gbps NICs to go along with slower NIC and depending on heatsink even those...
