Oh good, I shall have to test again. Maybe it depends if the rolling cache is enabled at the same time which is something I may have overlooked

Iāve only Manual Cached entire areas that I fly regularly in and itās not a lot of work as youāre caching a whole area. It does take a while to download though, but as you say caching an entire route in High Quality would be a time consuming job. I can imagine say for instance Caching Glasgow to Cardiff would be a nightmare.
P.S I have only cached Photogrammetry areas as they are a lot of data but other areas that arenāt the data is MB not GB so my internet can handle it easily.
I plan to install 4 M2 drives. Is this a problem with AMD CPU? Currently, I have no issues with my i9 13900K, MSI Z790 Tomahawk WIFI and 4 M2 drives.
Iām not sure about rolling cache as I havenāt turned mine on. Only tested MC and got it working so didnāt want to jinx it by having both running. I figured anyway that I only fly in Photogrammetry areas at the moment it wouldnāt be any use to me as it would have to be a massive size cache to stop it overwriting itself. As for non PG areas I think Rolling Cache would be fine.
Time consuming and hardly worth the effort unless itās PG ā¦ I tried that for the Verdon gorge and it made next to no difference. The wait was long but hardly any data got downloaded

You might want to have a quick read of the Bugs and workarounds that I came across using Manual Cacheā¦
It might just be a glitch or something but itās something to keep in mind if youāre going to be caching big areas.
Yep found all those glitches before ā¦ all but the cache location bit which as you mentioned later is actually possible

Sorry yeah Iāve just edited that post just nowā¦ I found out shortly after writing all of that, that you could choose dest. of the MC and wrote an edited reply further down the thread just forgot to edit the original post lol

Hereās something I gleaned from this article:
āThe platform offers a total of 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, with 16 dedicated to the video card, four for an M.2 slot, and another four for chipset connection.ā
I think this is a function of the chipset with the 7000-series CPUās, and not the individual board manufacturer.
Iād guess that having four M.2 would work, but only one would be accessing a full four PCI lanes. Probably not a real concern if you havenāt invested in four 4x4 drives. 
Iām going to put my M.2 4x4 drive in the 1st slot that accesses the PCI 5.0 lanes, and my second drive (itās a 4x2 from my old system, and will be my boot drive) in one of the PCI 4.0 slots.
Thanks for info.
This board sounds good and itās from ever dependable MSI, makes me want to upgrade now. If trends have been followed PCIe5 will be theoretically twice the speed of itās predecessor. For me it would mean an entire system swap, unobtainium for the next couple of years but still I can dream.

Not sure if you saw this previously and may be of help in choosing a motherboard.

Thx, I chose Ryzen 7 7800X3D and MSI MAG X670 TOMAHAWK WIFI that I mentioned earlier.
After over 30 years of using Intel CPUs Iām switching to AMD because I feel deceived by Intel. For two years they didnāt inform us about the oxidation issues and thatās not okay.

Amen! Itās a shame really. The i9-14900K is a monster CPU. Too bad about the inexcusable problems some of them have.
I think youāll be very, very happy, especially (hopefullyā¦prayerfully) come November.
I saw that thread but never looked at the sheet.
Thatās a GREAT resource!

I also hope that Iāll be happy.
Friday will be my big day. intel out - āthe king is dead, long live the kingā.
I hope to finish my build by next Tuesday. Iām waiting on a part for my custom loop being delivered Friday, and I decided to buy a retail copy of Win11 Pro, which Iāll get and modify on Monday.
Then itās:
- Update BIOS
- Install Windows
- Install chipset drivers
- Aida64 stress test and memory latency test
- Adjust memory timings if needed
- Install sim
- Test sim
- Start the really fun part (reinstalling everything else. Fortunately, my Addons_Linker folder is on a separate drive I can import.)
Fun, Fun, Fun!
Iām not purchasing a new Windows because I hope Windows will activate automatically after installation.
If Windows doesnāt activate automatically Iāll use a few tricks to resolve the issue or in worst case scenario Iāll buy a new Windows 10 Pro license
