I‘m searching for an air cooler for my 7960x.
The case is Cerberus X.
The former cooler was h115i and the pump was down.
All cores run at 4.2@GHz and mesh runs at 2.8@GHz.
I believe most x299 and x399 mobos have plx switches because they supports their quad m.2 cards like asus hype m.2 card,asrock quad m.2 card and msi.
Asus and Asrock have a close relationship with ASMedia so ASM2824 might be a good option.
I see, but specifically I compared https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty X299 Professional Gaming i9 XE/index.asp and https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X299 Taichi XE/index.asp are almost all the same except AQUANTIA® 10 Gigabit LAN and audio.
