I suspect the issue is that customers would complain about a 10 gigabit card that couldn't actually reach anywhere close to 10 gigabits per second. Even PCIe 3.0 maxes out at around 8 gigabits per second per lane.Was hoping to get a 10GBe Network card to fit a 1x PCI Slot. Cant find one.
They do exist, what card you need depends on whether your M.2 drive is SATA or PCIe.Was hoping to get a M.2 expansion card to fit a 1x PCi slot. Cant find one.
X570's 4x PCIe 4.0 link shouldn't be holding you back.I was thinking of migrating to quad-controller USB 3.0 and a Datapath VisionRGB capture card for upgrades, but both of those require a x4 slot each, which means that consumer platforms with only 16 PCIe lanes off the CPU and x4 being squeezed through DMI to everything else on the motherboard (or AMD's equivalent) suddenly become woefully inadequate, especially as NVMe becomes the norm for SSDs and take up 4 lanes per drive.
- X-Fi Titanium HD
- FL1100-based USB 3.0 host controller card (because a quad-sensor Oculus Rift CV1 setup practically demands it)
- PEXHDCAP/SC500N1 video capture card
Yes, it's because of this one issue that I'd consider 3rd-gen Threadripper for a gaming build, because I can't say no to all of those PCIe lanes. I'd even be fine with just 8 CPU cores, but 16 + 4 PCIe lanes just isn't enough any more. Both Intel and AMD need to step it up to 28-30 lanes on the mainstream desktop platforms; I'd be content with that much.
Good to use as storage drives on the netwokr... for movies, software, and other data that's not being accessed every day but will have decent speed.i have a syba 4 sata port raid 1x card in a computer that has 9 dvd drives.
good for what?
I use an SD card reader, since my case doesn't have front 5.25" or 3.5" bays.

Delock PCI Express Card > 1 x external SDXC Slot (91743)

Yep - this slot layout pisses me off. It blocks this fan for the GPU entirely...going to get a riser or something and relocate the sound card.
This is why I decided about a year back to just rip out my soundcard and move to an external DAC. With the way windows 10 handles virtual surround now with something like Dolby Atmos, I just saw no reason for the soundcard anymore, and how there just weren't any good places for it. Not to mention you can get something like the Schiit Hel that way out-performs the highest end soundcards for about the same amount of money.
Depends on the DAC and/or amp you get.Dang I like that idea. I've been happy with this Xonar Essence STX ever since I got it, drives my ATH-900X very well but in Windows 10 it randomly has a bug to where it starts an extremely high pitch tone that is deafening...apparently it's an issue with Windows 10 - quite unpleasant.
How do external DACs connect/show up in Windows? Are they amplified or...? One feature I use a lot is the sound card's switch between Speakers & Front Panel audio for headphone time.
Plastic dust covers on the board that actually has them.
