    8x8GB ECC DDR3 RAM - $160

    How is DDR3 ECC ram so cheap compared to the DDR4 consumer pricing these days?

    Supermicro Xeon D / FCBGA 1667 Heatsink information

    I ended up buying the 60mm Noctua PWM fan. It fits the heatsink and is larger than the 50mm fan that came with the motherboard. However, the old fan attached to the heatsink by using screws that basically threaded themselves into the fins of the heatsink. Because of the design of the heatsink...

    Maybe I'll try to rig up that 60mm Noctua

    Because the mounting holes are at 50x50 not 40x40?

    So the 40mm Noctua arrived. Nice packaging with lots of accessories. Unfortunately, it turns out my Gigabyte Xeon D-1521 board actually has a 50mm fan with 40mm mounting holes, as opposed to this 40mm Noctua with 30mm holes. Measure twice, cut once, I guess. Anyone have any 50mm PWM fan...

    While not using the ASRock Rack board, I am using a Gigabyte D1521 board and am interested in cooling performance difference as well. Are you using the stock fan with this new heatsink? The Gigabyte heatsink seems decent, but the fan is pretty meh. Looking for a new 40mm fan. The only good one...

    Can anyone recommend a decent 40mm PWM fan? My Gigabyte Xeon D-1521 came with a heatsink+fan but the fan is a little 'buzzier' than I would like for my apartment. The fan it came with is only 10mm thick or so, so I think a thicker fan may perform better?

    Gigabyte MB10-DS1 nvme connector?

    That's exactly what mine looks like, and further down on the page is the pinout for that connector as well

    Gigabyte MB10-DS1 nvme connector?

    PCIe3 is exactly what you would want. However I suspect you're chasing a lost cause :(

    Gigabyte MB10-DS1 nvme connector?

    Bought the same board, my box-included documentation calls it NVMe, but the online documentation shows it on the schematic but does not reference it. Additionally, the NVMe section of the bios just says 'not detected' or something similar. Certainly the Xeon D chip supports NVMe in addition to...
