However, the placement of the PCIe slots can be problematic if you're going to use a GPU. Whereas some motherboards position the PCIe x1 slot above to primary GPU PCIe slot to ensure it remains usable when a GPU is installed, in this motherboard anything larger than a single slot video card will invariably block the PCIe x1 slot.
The lowest PCIe x16 slot is usable for a GPU. However, that slot has two challenges as a GPU option:
- The slot may not be usable for larger width graphic cards in some MicroATX-specific cases (which could limit the slot for use with single slot video cards).
- The slot is limited to PCIe 3.0 whereas, depending upon the CPU, the top slot can support PCIe 4.0 in this model.
For someone planning to use an integrated GPU, a single slot video card, or s.imply never planning to use an expansion card other than a GPU, none of these concerns should be an issue. For anyone else I'd certainly take this design choice into consideration vs. motherboards which may cost more but take more care in the placement of their PCIe slots.Good luck!

edit: seems like above poster says there's two, didn't notice

While you're at it, a sharpie might be useful to mark these distinctions on the drives themselves.
With G-series CPUs this process would only make identifying the drives easier, but doesn't provide any performance benefit for the the boot/primary SSD since G-series CPUs don't have support for PCIe 4.0 on either slot.
Good luck!
