I have another build with the same board. The pcie slot does indeed work at 4.0 speeds. It's not " busted". Haven't tested anything with the 5.0 speed option though.

 

So I have this unused itx board. Has a pretty decent vrm setup (10+1+2) and the bios updates seems to have worked out all the previous instabilities with running the pcie slot at 4.0 speeds. What CPU and Ram should I run for mainly gaming and some video rendering apps. Was thinking about 14th gen i7 and some sort of 64gb ram. Do you think the vrm's can handle the i7? (Would be liquid cooling it) is there a recommended 64gb ram kit someone could point me to? I understand ddr5 would be better but I'm kinda stuck with this board and wanted to make the best of the situation. Thank you in advance ☺️
