Question:	Funciona con esta tarjeta gráfica xfx gts xxx edition rx 580 8 gb
Answer:	Mu understanding is yes.
Question:	Dose this mother bored work with i7 9700k
Answer:	Check your firmware, including satellites. There was an update (V1.0.4.96_2.0.41) to resolve 2.4 device drops. The MR .chk file is different from the satellite (MS) updates. I didn't see anything for 5ghz issues.
Question:	What would I have to buy to connect this motherboard to WiFi
Answer:	What you are probably looking at us a modem/router list, not a router list. This does not have a modem, so make sure you have a modem before buying this. If what you have now is s modem/router, do not connect this to that. It takes technical knowledge to make this work using another router. You need to buy a modem, activate that modem with spectrum and then connect this to the modem.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this mb pci 4.0 ready
Answer:	Here is the information I found just by googling it. 4266(O.C.)/4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3400(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Question:	Can you use a corsair icue h150i to cool the cpu
Answer:	The motherboard has 6 SATA ports, so each M.2 only disables one. The setup manual tells which M.2 slots disable which SATA ports. Even if you use both M.2 slots, you still have 3-4 SATA ports to use for other drives.
Question:	Would this work for the i9-10900k right off the box
Answer:	Yes. Both m.2 slots support 2280s. You'll just need to install the motherboard standoffs in the right place for one of them.
Question:	either i7-10700K or i9-10900K will work fine with this motherboard
Answer:	Well, yeah, for large files. For small files, IOP matters rather than the speed you mentioned.
