Questions about this item

Will the board's single CPU-powered PCIe 5.0 x16 slot run a new graphics card at full speed with the included Ryzen 9 9950X3D?

Yes. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D enables PCIe 5.0 x16 on the primary PCI_E1 slot so a modern GPU can use the full 128GB/s bandwidth.

What is the fastest DDR5 speed the combo can reach with a two-stick kit?

With Ryzen 9000 series processors the board supports up to 8200 MT/s overclocked on a 1DPC 1R configuration.

Does the board provide enough M.2 slots for a PCIe 5.0 boot drive plus two additional NVMe drives?

Yes. M.2_1 runs at PCIe 5.0 x4 from the CPU while M.2_2 and M.2_3 run at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset, all accepting 2280 or 2260 devices.
