Yes, Thermal Design Power (TDP) is what the sustained thermal output of the CPU should be, not necessarily the power limit that it will remain under in all circumstances. And it definitely seems like on this motherboard, it is not the power limit because the system will happily draw multiples...

Did it lower CPU temperature at all? Or just a quieter alternative to the stock heat sink? I have not tested in Linux yet, but memtest showed ECC without any further configuration. edit: ECC appears to be function OOB [ 0.408076] EDAC MC: Ver: 3.0.0 [ 6.864114] EDAC MC0: Giving out...

Does anyone know of compatible heat sinks? The included heat sink seems very inadequate for the TDP of the CPU. I haven't measured yet, but it looks like the standard Intel 75mm spacing. I am assuming that since the CPU has no IHS that the Z-height of a standard LGA115x heat sink won't work though.

According to the Intel Datasheet, lane reversal would mean that all the lanes are reversed: Without lane reversal Slot 4: PCIe x8 (01234567) Slot 3: PCIe x4x4 (0123/0123) With lane reversal Slot 4: PCIe x4x4 (3210/3210) Slot 3: PCIe x8 (76543210) I suspect that normal PCIe devices will not...

Do you have a source for a PCIe x4->x2x2 bifurcation adapter? Or it's just a function of the H20 to split the NVMe lanes internally to x2x2? It does not, see my blog post: The iGPU is not supported and cannot be enabled, see The PEG can be split into x8x4x4. Slot 3 PCIe x8 becomes x4x4...

I believe the PA-4E is older than the PA-13, but concrete info is hard to find. The PA-4E is supposed to be compatible with accessories like the WD19 TB dock, which is from the same time period as the 5070. I am hoping it still has 1-wire on the middle pin and can communicate the wattage to the...

Can anyone confirm whether the 130W power supply with Dell P/N 0WRHKW (PA-4E) works with a 5070? They seem a bit more common than the 65/90W variants due to their use with docking stations.

Can you share the manufacturer/part number of the DIMM slot you soldered?

No stock BIOS for this platform supports booting from NVMe. I think some people have modded the BIOS with the relevant Dxe to boot from NVMe, but I don't know where those modded BIOSes are available.

You may remember me from such threads as Meraki MS220-series FOSS firmware and Meraki MS210/MS225 custom firmware testers wanted. The Meraki MS420 series comprised 24 and 48 port SFP+ switches launched in the early 2010s. The MS420 reached its official EoL in 2023, and is no longer supported by...

If they do not provide the complete or correct source code, they're in violation of the software license. If they don't want to voluntarily provide it, they can be legally compelled to (see: SFC vs Vizio). License compliance is not rocket science (despite numerous peoples' attempts in this...

No, they are not. Linking to vendor marketing fluff and telling me to go ask AMI are not relevant or helpful. My OP stands, Gigabyte are using GPL licensed software in their BMC and are refusing to provide it upon request: This is a violation of the GPL and if Gigabyte do not change their...

LMGTFY is not a valid response to a GPL request. You've linked to the AMI product page of MegaRAC, which contains no source code corresponding to what Gigabyte is using in their BMC. I'm afraid I, and the GPL license, have to disagree with you here. Whether Gigabyte got their GPL licensed BMC...

Have a link to that? If Gigabyte are modifying GPL code for their motherboards, then yes they need to provide that. Their feelings on the proprietary nature of said modifications are moot. Proprietary kernel modules or libraries are of course outside the scope of this request.

FWIW I requested the GPL source code for the BMC running on this motherboard and Gigabyte are refusing to provide it: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/gigabyte-is-refusing-to-provide-gpl-source-code-for-bmc-firmware.44232/
