Learned something new today from this site: there exists motherboards specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining, e.g., https://motherboarddb.com/motherboards/920/B250%20Mining%20E...
Eg: https://github.com/crossfilter/crossfilter
For a working example - see the flight search results on Kayak
I found this during research and thought I'd share. It could be better, but it's a one-person project labor of love, so I'm pretty forgiving. For new-ish parts, PCPartPicker.com is still the single best resource for this info, but their info isn't always entirely accurate. For a given board I was researching with USB3.0, PCPartPicker listed it as having USB3.1Gen1 support. For compatibility its built-in checking is p…
> but their info isn't always entirely accurate. For a given board I was researching with USB3.0, PCPartPicker listed it as having USB3.1Gen1 support. This one is just USB being USB. USB 3.0's 5 Gbps Superspeed mode was renamed to USB 3.1Gen1 with the release of USB 3.1.
I’m reminded of the WiFi renumbering scheme that dropped with Wi-Fi 6, and yes, that is the way that it’s written. I never write it out hyphenated, or usually with numbers, because that’s not how most equipment with those features is labeled; only modern Wi-Fi 6 devices, and those older spec devices produced since its introduction, use the new numbering scheme, rather than 1-2 letter revision name.
Thanks for the correction, and the reminder.

Of course, now that you mention it, I can remember enough of what I read at the time to corroborate this. I actually feel a bit silly for not remembering, then I remember that I’ve been alive for every USB revision, and it’s hard to keep up with this stuff.

You want two community spreadsheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d9_E3h8bLp-TXr-0zTJF... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wmsTYK9Z3-jUX5LGRoFn... But I'll save you the work (since this is rather complex): Look at the Asrock X570 Taichi, MSI X570 Aorus Xtreme, and the MEG X570 Godlike, those are the three boards that have most overbuilt VRMs and least flawed designs. Asus sold nothing worth mentioni…
That should be "Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme", right?
Yes, Gigabyte. Too many companies with gamer brands, I usually refer to boards purely by their brand/product line, not their actual company, and that, apparently, finally stung me.
Its terrible to buy MB. I want the best possible MB for my 3950x that supports 128ram at the highest possible clock etc regardless of pricr and i just get lost with all the possibilities.
What are you going to do with all that ram?
I've found that geizhals.eu is great for this sort of stuff. Here's an example for Intel LGA1151v2: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbp4_1151v2 You can filter by details like the LAN chipset (e.g. Realtek RTL8111E, AQuantia AQC107, etc), the audio chipset, etc.
