X550 Format is on the way.

Some of the X570 have both gig lan and 10/100 lan.


Not that you need X570 B450 works.

I ... highly doubt that.

What I think that you meant to say is, some X570 boards have Gigabit LAN, AND 10GbE-T LAN. Not "10/100" (Megabit), but "10G" (Ten Gigabit)

I just realized that the DTX board, ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact: X570 Mini-DTX, does not have dual PCIe slots. Are there any x570 boards out there that do?

Gigabyte AORUS Master

And AsRock Taichi are SLI / NV Link compatible

Is that what you are asking?

Crosshair VIII Hero is NV Link which should support older SLI.

Just to drive us all mad NVIDIA. Thanks!

Couldn't just call it SLI 2.0.

Are there any x570 boards in the ITX or DTX form factor that have 2 PCIe slots?

This is the only board that gets close.

Not 2 pcie x16 just the one
But it has a fully functional Thunderbolt 3 Port.

This is as close as it currently gets.

Right now I have an Intel Core i7 4790k CPU @ 4GHz. ASRock board and 16GB RAM.

I use the computer for Adobe Photoshop, Bridge and some Premiere Pro (it suffers here). I have a huge cage with semi-loud fans (43Dba~) and want to have a much smaller case that is quieter. I don't really play games, if I do, they are old ones.

Here are the components:
  • Lian LI TU 150 Case (Black)
  • ASRock Z390 PHANTOM GAMING-ITX/AC
  • Intel Core i9-9900KF Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz
  • Ballistix 32GB Sport LT Series DDR4 3000 MHz DR UDIMM 32GB
  • CORSAIR SF Series SF600 600W 80 PLUS GOLD
  • or - be quiet! SFX L Power 600W PSU
  • Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
  • CORSAIR Hydro Series H75 2018 CW-9060035-WW, 120mm Radiator, 2 SP120 PWM Fans, High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
  • be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 Air Cooler

I have a Geforce GTX 1060.

The be quiet cool, how can that use 250W?
Im am exactly like you with almost the same cpu (6790k), asrock motherboard and 32gb ram and this is my home Photoshop editing pc.
Because i am in this business as an IT in graphic art companies but i work extra with all the programs since 1992 i can tell you that your cpu is perfectly fine and the gains from a newer cpu will be only if the cpu clocks higher in single thread. Can you find a 4-6 core cpu that clocks like crazy? Take it.
Adobe sucks in their x86 64bit coding (in osx i see different behavior) and with this i mean that no matter what you do in Photoshop, only one core does the bigger process. To see what i mean just upscale something or do a big gaussian blur and watch your cores. You will see 1 core almost full and some other at 20-30% because of disk scratch and other pc duties.

What you can do imo and because you haven't explained your disk subsystem is that if your mb has m2x3 slot to grab a samsung 970evo or any really fast nvme and declare that disk as scratch in Photoshop.

If you really insist to upgrade everything then follow the below
1. Grab a ryzen7 and an x570 board.
2. Buy 32gb at least of the fastest ram or 64gb
3. Buy 2x Corsair mp600 pciex4 nvme (thats why i mainly choose a ryzen atm in 1.)

With the above machine install the system in a 3nd simple ssd.
Set in windows the pagefile and the temp folder for everything in the 1st mp600 and lastly set the Photoshop scratch to the 2nd mp600.

If you do the above you will see a huge speed difference in Photoshop.
If you are an Intel guy you can get the same editing speeds by opting to buy instead of mp600 , Optane disks.

That was my 2 cents.

Start a new thread titled

ITX / DTX Mobo for PCIE Bifurcation

I have never done it. PCIE Bifurcation is the technology you are wanting.

Sorry just something I have heard about. Just never played with.

The biggest reason as to why I want 2 PCIe slots is one for video and one for a 10GbE NIC. I won't be using the 10GbE right off, possibly down the road. The board that has 2.5GbE may work fine.(ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact).

I do like the idea of a scratch disk for PS.
