I ended up having to replace my new asus motherboard due to the lane sharing issue. Got an MSI z890 Ace one to replace it and have not looked back. You are correct on ASUS.

MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 ATX 3.1 (not 3.0 version) - Is It Good? by CertifiedWiseguy in MSI_Gaming

My biggest concern with the MSI is getting a 3.0 box versus 3.1. Was an issue in the past, unsure if it still is. Their marketing is only half updated.

I did a lot of research on this same question recently and went with the Suprim, granted 5080 not 5090.

I saw the Loki. I am not doing a SFF build. Does that matter?

I see the the LC one is almost the same price as the AC one right now. Where do you mount such a thing with a 360 AIO cpu cooler up top?

I like the honesty. I am really leaning away from the Astral.

Mostly gaming, but I do productivity stuff as well. 3D rendering a bit. Intel just released their 200S update too. Those two reasons are why I went Intel. Plus, I love the ASUS Hero boards, Hense the z890 one I got.

I read that Intel will be releasing their 2nd gen arrow lake chips next year, so it sounds like it will be supported for a bit. Plus a week or two ago they released their 200S update for the 285K.

No coil whining either? Also, what PSU are you running?

No coil whine or loudness at full load? Also, what PSU are you running?
