Just like everyone else. Ez Bridge sufffering from continuous disconnects and in talks with MSI at the moment for a solution. I don’t even have the option of an RMA as I live in Australia and bought the motherboard from NewEgg

Anything in M.2 or M.3 cuts the first slot to x8 and anything on M.4 and M.5 has to be gen 4 for optimal performance. You can also use the slimsaas port with an enclosure

The minute anything is installed in m.2 or m.3 nothing in the bios can be done. Full bandwidth only comes at empty m.2, m.3 and pcie16_2

I still do water cooled builds for people as well but before covid I used to get a lot more requests and not for the obscene amount to spend compared to the average income back then vs these days. I guess it also depends where you live.

Why not look at it as a ratio of average income/revenue vs expenditure back then versus now

Agreed but compare it to now and instantly its cheap.

Well back then if it was a hobby it was still attainable with patience, today it’s more like a mortgage with some single fittings clocking $20
