     @Error (not technical person) why does the PCI-e slots show such a great distance to GPU when GPU is connected via PCI-e?

     @kaia @Error I think it gets a more direct route to the CPU than some other PCI-E devices if I'm not mistaken. The directional arrow might be a bit misleading too.

     @kaia @Error (technical person)
     Why is there a DDR5 in a platform old enough to still have a northbridge?

     @kaia @Error This isn't accurate to most desktops now: the north bridge is integrated, but the south bridge usually isn't.

     Most desktops will have one or two PCIe slots wired straight to the CPU, and the others go through the south bridge (which itself connects to the CPU via PCIe as well)
