The last computer I built was Gigabyte MB GA-Z77X-UD5H with i7 2600K overclocked built in 2012 and still running great but parts are starting to have issues.
When I would purchase a MB you got a manual (these days pdf) but they we very in-depth. When setting up Raid you could look at the manual and see which SATA connectors went to the Intel Sata Controller (it would show the Marvel info as well).
In looking at the Z690 GAMING X DDR4 V2 (rev. 1.0) lt appears that you can only use SSDs for Raid? PLEASE tell me you can Raid with the SATA connectors.... The manual shows nothing about how to configure the Raid. I guess it's the same way, enter the bios and select raid then select the drives?
ALSO another question, If looking at a complete system (not sure if I want to learn what I need for everything to build a decent desktop (unless there is a resource where people list their components ).
Why don't the prebuilt desktops tell you what motherboard is in that desktop?
Thanks for bear with me....I'll try to catch up!
