Jouleskeys thanks for being helpful.
Yes the Startech PCIe adapter has been waiting on my Amazon list for a few months.
The guy you mentioned that cut up the case, and then found out the card didn’t work, was it on Intel or AMD?
This is tricky because some guys swear by AMD, and some guys say they will never again do an AMD build.
I have always been an Intel CPU/ Asus motherboard guy since the 90s, and this would be my first AMD build.
I was really hoping st33I could tell me if he got his Aorus Master working with his UAD.
Also, I cannot get a decent i9 10900K in Canada at this time (July 2020), however I can easily get an Ryzen 3950X on Amazon,
as well as an Aorus Master.
