It's been a long time bro....now old man liaoThe iceflight bro I once know, buy hardware probably don't look at prices one.

Total damage?
Skip 2 generations to update to this.
Your friends like the paste for sure
Good price for aorus master board
Thanks...Good buy
so expensive ar.Ram ddr 5 6400. 32gb. 2x16. $800+
I see. Alamak you using 3800x on this Aorus B550 with the Gen 4 M.2?? abit wasted hmm.. but you happy jiu haoThanks...
Actually i had being brainstorming for few days and learned quite a bit from just buying this Mobo.
At first i had planned to rebuild the PC with i5 12600k and pair it with mid tier Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro and entry level DDR5 (didn't do my homework well ), but i got held back verbally by the shop boss which i frequently visited at Sim Lim. He helpfully explained that with the same price, i will be able to grab a Gigabyte X570S Aorus Pro AX, 2 x 16gb 3600mhz CL18 and a R9 5900X which are more better for my workload. Then i started searching on his list and found that there are 3 mobo i can consider now to pair with my used 3800X (save cost ).
Gigabyte X570S Aorus Pro AX
Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi
I am a sucker for VRM, so i went with Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master, sacrificed the PCIe 4.0 support on the chipset that's available on X570. At the same time, I felt a bit paiseh to the boss for not getting the CPU from him, so i grabbed another 2TB Gigabyte Gen4 SSD to support him back.
3800x is gen 4 pcie enabledI see. Alamak you using 3800x on this Aorus B550 with the Gen 4 M.2?? abit wasted hmm.. but you happy jiu hao
oops pai say.. me no orr yi orr with 3000 series cos I jump from intel straight to 5000 series hahah pai say.3800x is gen 4 pcie enabled
You are correct, at first i was worry too. Cos most B550 mobo in the market, their 2nd and 3rd M.2 slot are linked to the Mobo chipset PCIe 3.0 x 4, only the primary GPU slot PCIe 4.0 x 16, and the 1st M.2 slot PCIe 4.0 x 4 are link to the CPU. But this B550 Master was designed slightly different like some other Mobo, all the 3 M.2 slot are PCIe 4.0 link to the CPU. If i am to use the 2nd and 3rd M.2 slot, it will share the same bandwidth lane with the GPU PCIe 4.0 x 16, left with only 4.0 x 8 for the GPU, 4.0 x 4 for each of 2nd and 3rd M.2.I see. Alamak you using 3800x on this Aorus B550 with the Gen 4 M.2?? abit wasted hmm.. but you happy jiu hao
Yup, but CPU to Mobo link are only gen 3 PCIe. Not like your full version X570 Pro, all lanes are gen 4..3800x is gen 4 pcie enabled
How much did you get it for and how many years warranty?
Arrived.. can set up the full rig today
5 yearsHow much did you get it for and how many years warranty?
I'm thinking of either get this one or AW3423DW.
price for mobo?
$625price for mobo?
Got plenty PCIE x16 slot for this

Need PCIe bifurcation support on the slots though, I think usually only the CPU PCIe lanes will have PCIe bifurcation support.
The lane assignment is probably first 2 slots share 16 lanes from the CPU using a switch, then the last slot is x4 from the chipset.
If only they will throw us more PCIe lanes on consumer CPUs, but alas that will eat into their workstation CPU market share...
is this downgrade or upgrade?Managed to snag an RTX 3050 at MSRP to replace the aging 980 Ti.
