  • Calm down you lot. It was 2am or something. Happy with either the non waterforce mobo or the waterforce and just radiator instead of combo block.

    It's not for aesthetics. I'd much prefer a compact micro/mini black box with no RGB at all.

    Requirements:

    Space and support for a 3090. Potentially two in the future if SLI is still a thing and it will boost my performance in Resolve/Fusion/Blender etc.
    2.5gbe or higher (2 ports preferred)
    Thunderbolt 3 (2 ports preferred)
    Space for a few extra cards would be useful (something like a decklink)
    At least 2 m.2 slots
    Vaguely interested in an internal RAID.

    The z490 (£700 or so) has all of that built in rather than have to get another mobo and then find extra parts.

  • You can get TB3 add in cards (I have one kicking about somewhere).
    You are such a NOOB.

  • SLI is basically dead at this point

  • Space and support for a 3090. Potentially two in the future if SLI is still a thing and it will boost my performance in Resolve/Fusion/Blender etc.

    SLI isn't required for that sort of stuff. two cards will work without being physically connected. NVLink may offer further benefits with the 3090s, mainly in terms of memory iirc.
