Hi All,
So I am buying my CPU this month, going for the AMD 3950X and have my case already (Corsair 1000D, it will be watercooled on a custom loop with dual Vega 64's (I have these already) and twin NVME
I am planning on 2x 2TB Corsair MP600 NVME drives. so it would need to be able to support both of those. However reading reviews the performance doesn't seem to be there so I may go for twin Samsung 970 Evos
I had originally decided on the Asus Crosshair VIII which I was looking forward to due to the added watercooling for the VRMS, However with the dual cards (which are WC'd) it will be a tighter fit.
Ideally I'd have preferred a EATX board but it doesn't have to be. Anyone doing my due diligence can anyone suggest other good, high end boards for the X570.
I'd have loved to get a board with two PCI-E x16 slots for the cards instead of running x8/x8 but I don't know if this is possible.
I will be looking to overclock the motherboard.
I've previously gone Asus as I like the Bios and found it easy to use however I don't want to limit myself. Also the Crosshair is probably one of the most expensive boards and is it really worth the additional cost?
Thanks people. appreciate the help provided.
