I said "This is based more towards the extreme side of tech, i.e: gaming boards." With "i.e" meaning for example, I'm not saying that either one of us is right but I'd like you to look at this with the mind of what manufactures can do to improve on motherboards and less with what is applicable for today's use. I want a board ready for the future like my last board that has lasted me 5 years and is still running amazingly. For example the only real USB-C solution I see so far for front panel USB-C is this: https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessory/USB-31-UPD-PANEL/ . I just hope that the next version isn't using such a un-used interface like sata express. I want a motherboard that is ready for the future, this includes features such as USB-C Front Panel Headers for the already becoming universal type C connector.

If that was the case then I would ask the reason as to this video: It's not just this video but a vast number of people who want faster internal networking. I haven't had much luck with PCIE Networking cards. I am also a content creator and as such would like nothing better than to not worry about transfer speeds and compatibility issues. This isn't just for gaming, it's based towards all enthusiasts.

Please keep in mind that when your dealing with a family of 4 or more, bandwidth gets taken up really fast. weather it be local connections to a NAS or outbound connections to the internet. Sure, you can put a limit on people but then they get cranky and mad because of slow connections.

With solutions like Steam link, Nvidia Game Streaming and other alternatives including a possible NAS, it's beneficial to have a 10G Lan connection. I am not just tailoring this to internet only as local network connections are also important to many people.

It can be either cache or high speed storage, and this does include the ability for larger Optane modules in the future as said in LTT videos. Unless you want to be using a ramdisk on a 4gb of ram PC. Be my guest but I can't imagine it being a fun experience.

This is based more towards the extreme side of tech, i.e: gaming boards. If I am paying a few hundred dollars on a board, there should be an option for this weather the board be 200 or 500, I don't mind, as long as it starts to show up / show up more than it already has.

Before I get more comments, I'd like to point out that in the beginning of my post I pointed out that this was based more towards the extreme side of PC technology. When I added Optane and wifi/bluetooth, I was basing it more towards the mid to low end of motherboards. The vanity plats may be niche but having the option on higher end boards would be very much appreciated.

Hi, Just here to get some feedback and possibly a discussion going as to where motherboard technology is currently compared to technology in general. Fair Warning, I am looking more at the extreme side of PC technology. This may come off to most as a rant. A lot of these may also be niche in terms of how many would use these features. To start off, The Macbook with USB-C came out two years ago in 2015. Since then we have seen laptops with more and more USB-C. We have also seen Phones with USB-C and other devices such as Monitors. USB-C is also an interface for Thunderbolt 3 technology that allows for 40Gbps, Dual 4k Displays at 60Hz and 100w Charging. This would be tremendously useful on motherboards, and I don't just mean on the back IO. With more and more devices like phones switching to USB-C, it would be very useful to have USB-C Front header connectors that case manufacturers could take advantage of. I'd also like to see Thunderbold 3 USB-C / More USB-C on the back for use with External Storage and Monitors. Another issue I see (on gaming motherboards) is not enough attention to Audio. 7.1 surround? Congrats, your still not there yet. I'd like to see more work put into quality audio interfaces. Especially since enthusiasts see graphics as a reason to spend upwards of $1,000 or more. Not to mention but I would highly appreciate having 2 HD_Audio Headers on the motherboard (if possible). 10G Lan ports? Where are they? If I am paying 200+ dollars for a motherboard, then I would love to see a 10G Lan port, and not just on Workstation based boards. Even better would be 2 10G Lan Ports with Teaming Functionality. I'd like to see more Motherboards with built in WIFI and Bluetooth. This may come off an unnecessary but a lot of people still use wifi over lan due to being able to put your Pc in multiple rooms of the house. Having to buy an extra adapter for Bluetooth devices seems outdated. being able to connect your phone, speaker, or headset to your PC via Bluetooth is a really under-appreciated feature. With Bluetooth 5.0 coming out I hope to see more connectivity to the PC. Vanity plates. These allow for customization with 3D Printers. Because being able to put your logo on the motherboard just makes it that much cooler. MSI has added these recently. More Intel Optane compatibility. (This is new so I don't expect too much of this yet) 2 or more USB 3.0 Headers and 3 or more USB 2.0 Headers. (I know that sounds ridiculous but having the option helps a lot. Powered USB Ports for Charging. Feel Free to comment other feature you may have that you would like to see/see more of.
