Hello, I recently damaged my MSI Z170a xPower titanium motherboard by accidentally removing a PCIe slot. I'm really disappointed, but I've been looking for a replacement that offers the same features. I need a M.2 NVMe slot with RAID support, at least four full-size PCIe slots for my four GPUs. I used this machine for gaming, game development, and Bitcoin mining. My old board still works but feels outdated with an i7-6700K. I’d like something similar that supports the latest Intel chipset, maybe an 11th Gen or a workstation CPU. I’m not sure if I can find the right M.2 slot yet.

Since SLI and multi-GPU setups are largely outdated, quad GPU cards for AM4, 115X, and 1200 models are no longer available. I’ll go with an 2066 or Threadripper configuration. Avoid motherboard RAID setups—they’re not ideal, so consider software RAID instead. PCPP can help you find compatible boards, check this link: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/mother...cx=0&E=2,5

Your setup looks solid with the X99 CPU and waterblock. The Thermaltake 1151 should work fine with your X99, but confirm compatibility with your motherboard and water loop specifications.

I believe you intended x299 and 10900X instead of x99 and 10900x99. The 10900 is LGA 1200, while the 10900X corresponds to LGA 2011-V3. For your setup, refer to the manual for compatibility details, but I wouldn't expect much success. 2011 supports a large socket.
