ASUS Rampage V Extreme WiFi/BT Interface

Hopefully this may help someone else. I finally found this information on the Internet while searching for something else motherboard related. The interface is mini-PCIe & the WiFi/BT card itself is the Broadcom BCM94360HMB Azurewave AW-CB160H with three antenna leads. This leads me to *believe*...

It is *rumored* to expect two more refreshed X99 motherboards from EVGA. The X99 Micro 2 is the first and includes the USB type C connection and other updates. I have seen a picture of the X99 FTW K model, which is also a refresh, but nothing official from EVGA yet. FTW K photo shows a LN2 pot...

Q
ASUS Rampage V Extreme WiFi/BT Interface

Does anyone know what type of interface plug/slot/socket the WiFi/Bluetooth module connects to on the R5E motherboard? I am trying to find out if this is a standard type mounting solution that will accept a replacement WiFi/BT card like the Intel 8260 (example) or other.

WD Caviar Black 1.5TB RAID 1 slowdown

Thank you for your reply. I do not have an added RAID controller. This is the RAID that comes with the motherboard. There should be nothing extra needed other than setting the BIOS to RAID and the RAID drivers. If this had been an issue with a RAID Controller for a set up such as SAS...
