    That's perfect thanks @Ezy (that what I was pretty much hoping :)). So on SAGE with 80 lines CPU, it's full 5 PCIE - x16 slots, minus two x4 (2 x M2 Gen5 if used), isn't it?

    Thank you @RolloZ170 you are reading my thought, I was about to ask of drawbacks of W790 except of number of memory channels when running QYFS. Also wold ASRock W790 WS R2 works with QYFS? I see it's mentioned in spreadsheet just not sure about R2. Thanks.

    I mean in terms of number PCIE slots, judging by block diagram ACE has 5 - PCIE slots, two of which has switch and could work as PICE x16/x0 or PCIE x8/x8 . for me it's meter I could stick extra x8 nic without PCIE riser/splitter card.

    Question: On SAGE with QYFS, are those 3 extra PCIE slots(2,4,6) are not used at all, or they can be bifurcated lets say PCIE_1 x8 ( + PCIE_2 x 8)?

    Oh really? At this stage I prepared to take risks. Most probably one of them is dead already. Or I'm too dumb and pretty much deserve it :)

    I tried few of them. Wasn't sure if gigabyte removed ES macrocodes from new firmware. Also somebody claimed here https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/gigabyte-server-motherboard-bios-recovery-jumper.40812/#post-452184 that at least it give him video output. And yes I flash them both...

    Hi @RolloZ170, thanks a ton for reply. Nope. I have only one at the moment. Considering to buying one from somebody you know on ebay. That what I'd like to figure out. But it looks like to do so I have to get MB or CPU. And sine CPU is cheaper. I think I'll get it first after Christmas. +...

    Thanks @RolloZ170, as been said tons of useful info :)! Used M.2 on old notebook and it worked as pci x4. Thought might work the same.

    also something like this: https://c-payne.com/products/mcio-pcie-gen5-device-adapter-x8-x16 might convert mcio to pcie slot. Not sure if 2 x8 mcio would work as single x16 pci though. But mico x8 to pci x8 (mechanical x16) should work in theory. I have to say, that's an awesome thread, lots of...
