Hmm, I went with the mobo cause I wanted the Nuvoton I/O Controller since I’d read that was more likely to have sensor support with Linux.

Was having a hard time finding them since I could only find the info by driving into support .pdfs but I could look around more.

Haha no, it’s just what I have from my old box, it’s storage for media mostly. I put those on as placeholders so I could calculate max power draw.

I will definitely be picking up a NVMe SSD at some point, it’s just not necessary for my initial build. You have completely valid points.

I actually really liked that idea, thank you.
