Would I be better off just overclocking on my own without a knob? If so, that'd give another plus to the ACE. Like, I don't really fully understand or see how well these would work together. Will the knob actually make you go above 4.9 if you want to? On top of that, in JayzTwoCents review of the Godlike, he briefly mentioned and explained the OC turning knob on it that supposedly would help you OC easier, but how does that integrate with th 9700K which has a supposedly guaranteed OC, turbo speed, of 4.9GHz?Ĭause I know when you OC from scratch, your CPU starts from base clock, which on the 9700K is 3.6GHz.

Is it fine as long as the drives don't work full-speed at the same time?Īnyhow, how will this affect my experience? So, in the end, is a 4 slot M.2 expansion card even useful when it can only run at x8 instead of x16? But, most consumer processors, like my current 6700K, the 7700K, 8700K, the upcoming 9700K and 9900K, none support two x16 slots.

Thing is, as far as I know, M.2 drives are x4 PCI-E, meaning (if I'm correct) if you had that ASUS Hyper M.2 expansion card, it'd need a x16 slot running at x16 and not at x8 like most MOBOs do, both Godlike and ACE are like this (while my current Z170 has 4 PCI-E x16 slots two running at x16 and two at x8). Now, I could buy an ASUS Hyper M.2 and get 4 slots instead of 2 on my expansion card, though the one that comes with Godlike has thermal pads that cover mor of the M.2 cards. One, supporting 2 M.2, already comes with the Godlike, while the ACE doesn't get that luxury. Now, the thing is, I'd prefer if I could avoid any incompatibility with my SATA drives and DVD-readers, which would make me interested in an M.2 expansion card. Now, I plan to add more M.2 drives, I have 1 already in my build, but I plan to buy another pretty soon. This would put me in the direction of buying a Godlike, but it's like double the price of an ACE, so is it worth it? I have a Full-Tower build, and as such I like having an E-ATX in it, because well, that's what they were made for, essentially. So, yes I know they only just come out (barely even) and we don't have benchmarks for the new CPUs and stuff, but I want to ask a few other things unrelated to that.
