Great review Boss. There are some hot cpus on that platform without deliding ( 9960x fixed that problem with solder Tim ) , nevertheless the performance it's great. The mobo fell short on the pci express department in my opinion ( should it have at least 4 pci express @ 8x8x8x8 )

Yeah, I was battling that idea in the review as well. From the mindset of 'hey, I pay for it, so I want as many PCI slots as possible' I agree. However realistically, who still actually uses four PCIe slots with SLI and Crossfire dying a slow death? Wouldn't you rather have extras on the board like an extra M2 (just an example) slot over a 4th PCIe slot?

Sure is a conundrum , some people will have the need to run a few cards on those slots , example 2xRTX 2080Ti in sli + 1 Areca Raid controller 1680 + Sound Card , etc ... or for WR benchmarks 4x sli or 4x cfx still a thing ( but we are in a minority , but still relevant today ), same for mining and other stuff that requires as many pci express slot as a mobo can fit :) i can think of a 100 set ups to fill those pci express slot , otherwise people can make choices based on their needs. Overall great mobo , i like it , i like it a lot.

Indeed... With the multi GPU death for mainstream consumer, and the Audio equipment that rise in quality on the latest board, there is less need in PCIe slot.
I still have my twin xeon 2011V2 somewhere in my garage... 10 PCIe slot X16 and the missing lanes were provided by extra chip... It was another era :)

I can't find an excuse to buy a 2066 setup. Motherboard aside, a 9800X is like 130-150 euro more than the 9900k. I'd like a Rampage VI Extreme Omega for a 9900k and i'm sold.
