    802.11be the cheap way.... <$40

    I see... it looks like one can get more ap focused devices as this one have you seen this chip set QCN-9274?

    500 MHz Socket 7 NAS - How far can it go?

    Running the SATA card and the NIC on the same PCI bus will hurt performance... I wonder if something super exotic as an AGP to PCI adapter would improve performance to closer to 100MB/s as the AGP runs on a separated bus.

    ASRock Rack AM5D4ID-2T BCM Review An Awesome AMD Ryzen Server Motherboard

    Very interesting board that is actually "chipset-less" if you can call that! With no B650/X670 to power I would love to know more about idle power consumption for this solution

    Nice, thanks for the update! Regarding stability did you do any quick range testing compared to the older Intel card?

    What about ASPM support?

    802.11be the cheap way.... <$40

    I saw your post over on the anandtech forum. Looking forward to see your experience! I am planning a wifi upgrade for next year so this is another option to explore given the crazy prices for newer APs.

    Teamgroup NVMe SSD High Idle Power Draw

    PCIE ASPM might be disable for the drive (try lspci -vvv to check) which can forbid the CPU to enter the most deep power saving C6 state

    Multi-NVMe (m.2, u.2) adapters that do not require bifurcation

    The pcie switch should be transparent to smart/trim/etc. I am curious though if these PLX switches support ASPM? Anybody checked?

    Consumer PCIe Gen4 M.2 vs Enterprise U.2

    Anybody knows if those U2 nvme drives usually support ASPM?

    Removing DIMMs from slots with only one clasp / retention clip

    It's funny Asus lists this "feature" as a good thing... I really dislike these DIMM slots

    ConnectX3 PCIe ASPM power saving mode - unable to enable?

    My server is using an IBM ConnectX3 and it behaves the same way. The Exit Latency being listed as *unlimited* is a good tip as to why ASPM is not working with these cards... If it's unlimited that would mean the device cannot come back from the lower power state.

    ASRock Rack BMC Fan Control?

    I have a server running with the Asrock X470D4U... What's the minimum duty cycler for these fan headers? It looks like the minimum possible duty cycle is 30%. I wish I could set lower in idle...

    And so it begins... First AMD Ryzen AM4 server motherboard.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned it's a vanilla X470D4U, so all CPU lanes are connected to the main slots. This PCI5 should take the 4x lanes usually allocated to a M2 slot on most of regular AM4 boards. That's why my surprise. Yes, the 5750G has the same number of PCIE lanes as the regular...

    And so it begins... First AMD Ryzen AM4 server motherboard.

    I recently added a Hynix P31 NVME drive to the system through a m2->pcie adapter and plugged the drive into slot5 which supposedly is connected to the CPU over 4x PCIE lanes. But I saw the drive would only negotiate at 2x as listed by lspci and confirmed by benchmark numbers. I suspected the...

    Correct way of using NIC Virtual Function

    I did not try yet... But is this the proper setup? I will test soon
