Great review Sir!
On a side note, I wanted to know: are the 3 m.2 slots linked directly to cpu pcie lanes, or are they through chipset?

you sir, are a mind reader (or especially thorough in reading the forum):D
i was thinking of the aorus x399 gaming 7, until the news regarding it's x370 brother. and added that to all the ... recent reports of gigabyte doing things they maybe shouldn't - and thought better.
you were right (again) about that sexy Aquantia 10Gb/s ethernet chip.
also, MSI x399 Pro CarbonAC is $349, not $449. it comes in less expensive than either the Asrock x399 Taichi or the Aorus x399 Gaming 7 by twenty or so dollar.
i'm about to pull the trigger on the threadripper 1900x, so these are the most recent prices (Fry's, Amazon, New Egg, etc..)
thank you so much for the timely (and comprehensive) reviews. you really help a brotha out. 😎

Solid review, and a great product. This is the board that I got for my Threadripper, and I love it. Not as flashy as the Aorus but ticks all the boxes in terms of features (except for the 10 Gbps Ethernet of course, but that can be forgiven).

Great review Hilbert as ever. I'm stuck between this and the Aorus tbh - they both seem pretty good to me.
