So, I am reading conflicting reports / rumors / whatnot around the web here today...
This board has four SO-DIMM slots (yay!), but some info states that you need to be running the 10-core i9 variant to fully utilize all four slots in a quad-channel configuration? And there are limitations between 2400 & 2667 RAM usage as well...?
As for the RAM itself, there are quad channel 64GB kits (two, one Corsair & one G.Skill) on NewEgg, running between $580 & $620 bucks; only thing I do not like about these kits is that they are running at a latency of CAS 18...
I just want to see someone design a boutique SFF chassis around this MB & the watercooled Zotac 1080Ti, with individual AIOs for each unit; I could really see a pair of EKWB 140mm Predators keeping the CPU & GPU cool...
Or at least a decently small chassis that will allow a tower cooler on the CPU & plenty of airflow for the air-cooled Zotac 1080Ti Mini & its two fan cooler... Something with dual 120mm fans (front-mounted) as intake & dual 80mm fans (mounted over the rear MB I/O shield area) as exhaust... Something like the Spartan Jr. chassis...!
Yeah... ASRock X299 ITX MB / i9-7800X CPU / 64GB RAM / three 1TB 960 EVO SSDs (one as System drive, two as RAID 0 storage...?) / Zotac GTX 1080Ti Mini GPU... Yeah...!
