    Any Corsair "i" series PSU has this functionality, i.e. RMi, HXi, AXi

    @BobVonBobThere's a 1000w/1050w(plat+gold), two 850w models(plat+gold) and one 750w model (gold) from Thermaltake, that I've linked above.
     
    Here's all the iRGB digital monitoring PSUs (Just a more advanced filter/detailed data site compared to pcpartpicker), ignore that it's EU : https://geizhals.eu/?fs=irgb+plus&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk
     
    the 750w was on a really nice Black Friday sale for $119 (Newegg) and $130 (Amazon), so @M.Lazif you do decide to buy this keep an eye out for another deal on some of these on Cyber Monday on the 29th in two days.
     
    Additionally, if you don't mind waiting, Corsair will be releasing a refreshed HX and possibly HXi series, based on the same/similar platform as these:

    No. Cheapest DDR5 CPU is 12600KF, which is around the $300 mark.
     
    Motherboards are also more expensive.

    DDR5 isn't worth it right now for most uses. Selection is very small right now, and what is available is too expensive and is usually beaten in games and whatnot by your average DDR4.
     
    Honestly for what you're describing, finding a discounted 5600x with a B550 board should do nicely.

    Didn't prove that,  my b350 doesn't support anything above 3000 series, and that barely... unless you define generation differently,  which then would contradict your statement however. 
     
    As for topic: 3600/x should be around that price.

    I have not ever seen this level of detail in the wild for eGPU's but it certainly would be interesting. And I'd also like to see it, need someone with an extensive enough GPU collection @LinusTech - Video idea maybe ? 😉
     
    Usually knock around 15-20% of raw performance off the GPU, Which is what I experienced when I dabbled in it.

    M.Laz got a reaction from unclewebb in CPUs don't appear to be boosting at all, 2x Xeon E5-2673 V2s.   
    Thanks, that did it. I misread the option. I lost track of the details trying to figure out the other options. I did a conservative 140w boost and do see at least one core briefly hitting the 4GHZ mark and temps are still under control. 

    This system isn't power efficient but you've let me see about eeking out a bit more performance to where I can hopefully wait out the CPU, mainboard, and RAM price hikes.

    Glad to hear you got it worked out! 
    Maybe LTT can do an in depth tutorial on NVMe RAID since it seems to be a challenging thing to get working.

    It looks like you have a RAID configured. My guess is that the RAID driver/option ROM has control of the drive and that's why it's not showing up under the NVMe configuration menu. With only a single drive, you may want to consider disabling RAID support. I don't have any personal experience with NVMe RAIDs but I've heard they can be very frustrating. I believe there are some additional restrictions which aren't well documented for getting Windows to install and boot on an NVMe RAID device. 
    I won't be much help with sorting all that out. 

    If you just want to get up and running, and RAID isn't that important to you, I think the option to disable it is in the advanced menu (sorry I can't be specific, Asus's manual isn't great). 
    I won't be able to give you any more replies until tomorrow as I've stayed up too late now. But I hope someone else will reply and help you get on the right track if my input isn't helpful.
