Asus rog x570 crosshair viii extreme

[Phillyflyer]

Looking at purchasing the Asus ROG x570 Crosshair Viii Extreme when it become available. Just wondering if the board is a 3 or 4 slot board for dual gpu's .Looking at the board , it does infact seem that it is 4 slot and would require the 4 slot Nvlink ( which is more commonly available) vs the Nvlink 3 slot that is as rare as a Unicorn.
Can anyone confirm??

I agree it looks like Nvidia 4-slot,.. ?

I had the ROG V10 at one time and wasx an extremely stunning board and after looking at the video you had shared...the x570 Extreme will be even more stunning...if that's possible !! Just pre ordered the board...been awhile since been on the forum....guess I'm back into the fold with a new build...time to upgrade my signature...lol.

did you end doing the 3090 NvLink on this board? Interested in the same - I have crosshair viii formula, which essentially has the same slots and a second 3090 gathering dust!

Yes...I have (2) ASUS RTX 3090 OC's with EK waterblocks and active backplates running with the NVLINK bridge without any issues.

Are you able to adjust the color of your bridge?
