Great review so I ordered this MSI MoBo.
I have a future SSD upgrade strategy question:
Only the first SSD is directly connected to the Gen. 12 CPU (all others are behind the chipset).
What is better for performance?
C: System/OS SSD#1
D: Programs SSD#2
Or
Buy a single bigger PCI4 SSD with both partitions on it?
Many thanks for inputs

Sent me the wrong board instead of DDR4 version.(bandh.com)
Noticed the above while placing the DDR4 RAM.
Another expense for me is to buy the DDR5 and not avail in my country.

QUESTION: I can see DDR5 DIMM and DDR5 UDIMM.
THIS BOARD SUPPORT WHICH ONE?
