I am only seeing 5% discount even after going through the Coins page... But that's ok. After all discounts and tariffs it's still $50! I will probably wait for modules using the new Realtek RTL8261C as these are supposed to consume ~1.65W

25% is not working here, but I will keep an eye

There's really no way of knowing about the working state of ASPM and idle power consumption without testing or researching people's builds using the target MB. You might find mentions on the motherboard's manual if you're lucky. Another thing is to not overclock memory. That will keep the SOC...

I just installed a self hosted RustDesk server and tested with a couple of mobile devices clients and it worked pretty well. I've had issues with TeamViewer as well. My account got flagged as commercial use but I only ever used it to support my parents as well (2 mobile devices)... Who knows...

I see... it looks like one can get more ap focused devices as this one have you seen this chip set QCN-9274?

Running the SATA card and the NIC on the same PCI bus will hurt performance... I wonder if something super exotic as an AGP to PCI adapter would improve performance to closer to 100MB/s as the AGP runs on a separated bus.

Very interesting board that is actually "chipset-less" if you can call that! With no B650/X670 to power I would love to know more about idle power consumption for this solution

Nice, thanks for the update! Regarding stability did you do any quick range testing compared to the older Intel card?

What about ASPM support?

I saw your post over on the anandtech forum. Looking forward to see your experience! I am planning a wifi upgrade for next year so this is another option to explore given the crazy prices for newer APs.

PCIE ASPM might be disable for the drive (try lspci -vvv to check) which can forbid the CPU to enter the most deep power saving C6 state

The pcie switch should be transparent to smart/trim/etc. I am curious though if these PLX switches support ASPM? Anybody checked?

Anybody knows if those U2 nvme drives usually support ASPM?

It's funny Asus lists this "feature" as a good thing... I really dislike these DIMM slots

My server is using an IBM ConnectX3 and it behaves the same way. The Exit Latency being listed as *unlimited* is a good tip as to why ASPM is not working with these cards... If it's unlimited that would mean the device cannot come back from the lower power state.
