I am using the pm938a in 3 nodes running ceph, partly because I made a mistake and ordered the wrong thing, but it's working fine

Mesh Commander works fine for me except i also find that networking mounting an iso through AMT is janky AF and doesn't work right half the time, or is painfully slow.

an oculink egpu would be a much better long term solution than trying to cram some sff gpu with a low power budget in there, that's brilliant. I may just have to test this!

So what's the verdict on the best GPU to fit in here? My use case will be for an LLM on one of my proxmox nodes

The paste on my units seemed fine, but I finally had a chance to install PTM7950. Not noticing a big change in temps during a stress test, but geekbench 6 and passmark both had improved single and multicore performance. Multicore was about 10% better, but single core was improved by 25%, and...

i wonder if that's the smbus issue that requires you to tape off some pins on the pcie connector.

That's fantastic! as i do want to put an HBA in 2 of my units

I'm now running 3 13900h nodes, with 96gb of RAM, 1xu.2 and 2x 22110 m. 2 drives. Running proxmox and ceph over a thunderbolt direct connection mesh. I haven't had any lockups. I did install the microcode patch as one of the first things I did. I do think some of the issues others are seeing...

I'm currently using that adapter as a dedicated OOBM port. I'm a little confused by what your experiencing but I'm curious so that I know it's something to avoid in the future. Do you mean you cannot run a DHCP server that is serving IP addresses out of that port? If so what happens when...

Fwiw I'm using a u. 2 pm983a and have no problems

The 22110 is a larger enterprise card I'm not sure how the extension board would help him

Did you have to snap it off to make it fit? Wondering if an full size 110mm m.2 drive would fit

I just ordered Honeywell PTM7950 to try on this, never used it before.

benefits of lower temps? I'd be so interested in one of these for a boot volume, but i just don't think there's room in the chassis, especially if you're using a u.2 drive. So i'm waiting for a usb to m.2 adapter to try an external boot drive for proxmox.

Time to water cool these things :)
