REVIEWED: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with ZOTAC GAMING RTX 5060 TI Twin Edge OC

I am interested in the Gigabyte board for a few reasons. The big one is that the PCIe slot will run in 16x with 2 M.2 drives installed, unlike my current Asus board that cuts the PCIe slot to 8x with both M.2s installed. The second is that the fan on the chipset is actively cooling the M.2 as well, and the way I like to configure my system is that the OS M.2 is on the front and cooled, the rear M.2 will have all my games and music on it. I'm trying to slim down my build even more by having less drives (I have 2 2.5" SSDs and a 3.5" HDD in my Phanteks Evolv Shift plus the M.2s). Granted the Gigabyte board has only 2 fan headers, I plan on using the Silverstone fan hub to run the 4 fans in my case. I need to email Phanteks to make sure that the riser cable will be fine for PCIe 4.0 since I just got my 5700XT yesterday. The other main reson why I am going to the Gigabyte board is my Asus board will not update the bios to run Ryzen 3000. I have tried and tried but it refuses to update. Time to change it then.

[QUOTE="Obakemono, post: 157010, member: 10762"] I am interested in the Gigabyte board for a few reasons. The big one is that the PCIe slot will run in 16x with 2 M.2 drives installed, unlike my current Asus board that cuts the PCIe slot to 8x with both M.2s installed.
