Hello everybody,
I was thinking of a crazy idea for a DIY project and I saw some similar projects with DIY PCIe bifurcation boards that I thought it would be a good place to post my idea for feedback.
My plan, IDK if it will even work, is to take a PCIe switch, like the Broadcom P411W-32P...
So I was just looking at temps on my SOHO rig (in sig) and under full load (gaming), it was hitting 56c. Idles at 30c. This is with the drive mounted on the mobo m.2 socket next to the video card (but not under it).

Anyone on here?

To which Asus replied:
