Had some free time last night so I started putting together the new add-in card I got. It's this little m.2 bifurcation riser from SuperMicro:[MEDIA=imgur]a/x12uq6n[/MEDIA]It allows me to run a 110mm m.2 drives which is convenient. I don't think I've seen any ITX boards out there that support 110mm drives. The Intel 905p Optane SSD's is perfect there.It also makes me feel a little better about the build because I've always thought it was a waste to run a x8x8 bifurcation scheme. There really aren't many add in cards that can take advantage of a x8 connection besides GPU's and some NVME RAID cards. Most the miscellaneous add in cards are x4 or x2 connections. So now I have the freedom to try and stuff one more add in card into the build. I currently haven't decided on what to with the free m.2 slot yet but will probably convert it into a PCIe x4 slot for more flexibility. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any?
