What does Asus mean when they give "limited PCI-E 4.0" support on some of their x470 motherboards. Is it like on some boards or to some extent??????

PCIe 4.0 is x570 only. (AFAIK B550 and A520 will not support PCIe 4.0)

Some boards. Depending on the traces and the quality of the PCB they have been able to transmit PCIe 4 signals to the top x16 slot. However i believe that AMD is removing this as a possibility in one of the next micro coded updates.

It used to have PCIe 4.0 enabled but that has since been disabled. X470 now no longer offers 4.0 compatibility

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
