I really wish ASRock brings to TR their WS and Extreme range with more PCI_E slots, have their X99 WS which does have 6 PCI_E slots and only this I'm still on X99, if there is board with more than 6 PCI_E slots I would go route of TR4 for sure, but for now I will pass, shame

Maybe with X399 refresh there will be released such board, I just hope so,

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

Soooooo we are still stuck with dual channel ram and limited PCI-e lanes from AMD?!? I will not upgrade to a lesser configuration that is for sure.

If TR is no good for gaming then with Intels gimped offerings as of late I am without an upgrade still.

Wanting to do a mobo, CPU and RAM just to see if there are added benefits from using more lanes (PCI-E) and newer CPU tech for the GPU config at this current moment.
