From AORUS to STRIX - Z690i Motherboard Swap | NR200P Max Update

So, I decided to switch boards! I replaced my z690i Aorus Ultra with an ROG Strix z690-i Gaming Wifi board. I've also added some 1TB WD SSD's for additional short term storage since I got them for cheap.
I'm stoked that the Aorus RAMs work on the board too. So far so good; I'm hoping I won't jinx myself in the future.

🟧 WORD OF CAUTION as of Feb 27, 2022 🟧
If you're planning to buy the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-I GAMING WIFI, please note that some people have been experiencing PCIE Speed Configuration issues with their NVME Drives spefically on the M.2_2 slot of the motherboard. Sometimes, the speed will change from x1 to x4. I haven't experienced these issues myself as I'm using a Gen 3 NVME SSD instead of Gen 4 but I'll give an update just in case I encounter these myself.
