  1. include the lanes assigned to the USB ports and the LAN as well as sudio and SATA since that is included in Z170 but intel allows MFG's to disable them if they really think they need to. This is what Z170 boards that have dual or even triple M.2 slots do. You have to remember though that DMI 3.0 is roughly PCI-E 3.0 x4 which is what one M.2 drive would use so youll cap really quick.
  2. I would agree with this. But the 8 lanes of PCI-E 2.0 are fully open unless the MB MFG adds something that isnt usually built into the chipset. 40 lanes of CPU alone trumps the 16+"20". I still dont think you can call it 20 lanes because as long as all the normal stuff on the chipset is enabled there are really just 4 more than previously, enough for a M.2 drive.
  3. yes a horrible idea but #marketing wait what? no board would have that many devices usable at once youll run out of physical room first lol your reply rather confused me.
  4. Since there is less bandwith total and because a board would literally have to disable SATA and LAN to get you all 20 lanes for PCI-E slots and yes you can run GPU's through the Chipset. This is how you get crossfire capable boards that are not SLI certified. They run in the x4 slot through the chipset.
  5. haswell had more lanes (I believe 16) than that they were just tighter on what you could or couldnt disable that's generally built in like SATA ports, audio, LAN, etc Skylake has 20 lanes when pretty much nothing from the chipset is enabled including SATA ports. The big change was DMI 2.0 to 3.0 which also got you PCI-E 3.0. If you remember 3 SATA III SSDs in RAID 0 was kind of the limit with DMI 2.0. With the speed increase came more lanes basically enough for a M.2 without disturbing anything else. Just remember DMI 3.0 is still roughly PCI-E 3.0 x4 in total bandwidth.
  6. Never said that? even 28 lane X99 has more expandability
  7. everyone knocks off Cherry MX now...
  8. is this not the proper way to do things?
  9. 24in 1920x1200 monitors in portrait work great for this already. I havent tried more height but I really dont see the need. You can see my setup here https://goo.gl/L4dhHg
  10. Their reducers dont have enough wattage on the resistor. You could easily make your own that or just feed it a lower voltage to begin with.

    I was reading about a certain post you were com…

    Your welcome and no problem. many people misunderstand that who situation.
  12. I do indeed. I would have to check what colors as I did sell one the last time I put them up. Looks like I sold there one for $50. That Meas I have left: 2x Yellow/Green 1x Yellow/White 1x Pink/White These were originally bought for customer projects and one for a personal build. They were MKC brand originally sold by Feng. Pics of them can be found here http://goo.gl/N1KdYn
  13. Wouldnt have minded going beige but I really like the Noctua on Black, Black on Noctua look! Black cable ties? Do you mean the sewing or the zipties/tyewraps?
  14. Have you tried a MX Master? It is the true successor to the MX Revolution the Performance MX is also in that family contact Logitech theyll swap it out if its still under warranty.
  15. all of my vintage parts get tore apart for parts
  16. Im just replying to things that are in my email finally! im pretty much the same loving my Ergo Clears though!
  17. yep pretty much if your going that way you might as well go all the way!
  18. I agree with @Charger I usually go lighter springs on heavy switches and heavier springs for lighter switches.
  19. something like that. My suggestion is to just try them. There is not much you can do when just thinking about actuation weights. I bet @Chargerwill concur with me on that. A good number of keyboard enthusiast will side with heavier switches after a while. Light is not always better.
  20. The KMAC Happy is by far my favorite 60% board. They are small they must have programmability. Have some recent shots of my boards up on my twitter.
  21. I posted those exact pics of my KMAC Mini over on Massdrop...
  22. Thats right they are! I had so many fans I kinda said screw it and made it the theme.
