My motheroboard doesnt have a m2 slot and I am interested in using the new intel optane.
Processor: i7-6900k
Can broadwell-e use intel optane? Im having difficulty finding information.
What PCIE board would be best for this that is 3.0 and 4 lanes or is there some better way since motherboard does not have a m.2 slot.

Motherboard has no m.2 mount. is this approved or anything better?

optane only works with kaby lake/7th generation processors. I'm not sure if mobo really matters but you're shit out of luck non the less.

seems pretty lame of intel to not have these work with the high end processors 6900-6950. When they dont sell any 7th generation prosumer processors.
my pain.
Optane is supposed to be combined with a HDD right? Why wouldn't you buy an m.2 SSD instead?
>>60260984
yes

They're only interested in selling new shit and are about to announce t heir latest HEDT platform. What did you expect?
>>60261654
yes to what plz?

intel new x99
fug.... im being screwed by 4 months and then the magical new high end 7th gen chips will be available for prosumers. geez talk about screwed when just payed 1k for that i7-6900k since I have no choice and need it now.
>>60260984
fug and im making calls about this and finding that the new HEDT processors for X299 are gonna be cheaper than the ones available now. super fug.

REEEEEEE I HAVE A 6700K I WOULD BUY YOUR SHIT IF IT WERE COMPATIBLE REEEEEEEEEE

why buy it? what I just bought 6900k or 6950k is outdated since its 6th generation?
Keep in mind they only hve 8-10 cores unlike the flagship new 7th gen which will have 12 cores so im stuck with 8 cores now.

Shoulda waited. TM

I'll let you cum in me in exchange for your PC. :)

not allowed to wait funds allocated dry up in 48 hours until who knows when so its a limitation I face. shit sucks.

I agree now I am stuck with 8 cores, why even bother to live now!
The intel optane is mainly meant as a cache for spinning rust drives.
If you are already using an SSD as a boot disk the benefits are negligible.

I dunno it uses I assume the same learning tech as SRT meaning it learns with the user what apps are accessed to keep them in cache. That said an OS on a SSD and gaming say from a HHD might see a speedup but doesnt matter to me, for some strange reason it only works on 7th generation as if requires some magic technology in the 7th that isnt in the 6th even on HEDT which I cant imagine what that is since nothing different is listed to allow specific generational support for optane.
