Hey,

So I am looking to buy more SSDs for this system, I realized the m.2 on the motherboard is SATA and not nvme. I also noticed that the bios has no PCIE bifurcation options. So I am wondering if the motherboard can boot from pcie ssds? I am thinking of getting an nvme with a pcie adaptor. I know the multiple nvme cards won’t work without bifurcation, but the single ones should right? Also whats the limit on RAM speed for DDR4 if I am running a haswel-e cpu?

    I did a couple 64 GB builds back in the day, but be careful, Haswell-E was picky a hell about RAM, but I think at least 128GB is supported and pretty cheap these days. Buy from QVL if you can. Had a couple systems with non-qvl RAM and it was hell to get them working at even ddr2133.
