CPU/Mobo Upgrading Asus ProArt X670E-CREATOR Motherboard

ooooo threadripper!

just a side note - i have this mobo (bought new recently as part of a full build) and it works great especially for linux support - funnily even my win11 install didnt recognise the ethernet port - had to install the drivers during the os install... i specifically avoided the newer x870e version of this mobo due to unsupported wifi 7 drivers for linux at the moment.
