I'm going to just cut the back off one of the x8 slots and put my transcode GPU thereYeah, considering slot 4/7 only has 12 lanes total between them supposedly definitely seems off.
Thanks for the info, with that in mind this should work then:
Slot 7 (x4/x4?) - SAS controller (x4 limited~but only needed for 2 hdd, may downgrade to a x4 sata card)
Slot 6 (x8/16xslot) - GPU for transcode
Slot 5 (x8) - 10Gb Networking
Slot 4 (x4/x4) - 2x NVME Adapter
That way the x16 is free for an Oculink card at x4/x4/x4/x4
Something like this...
Slot 7 (x8) - Nvidia P400
Slot 6 (x4/x4/x4/x4) - AOC-SLG3-4E4T
Slot 5 (x8) - Spare
Slot 4 (x8) - Mellanox CX3 NIC
If I have Slot 6 bifurcated to x4/x4/x4/x4 is slot 5 still usable at all?
