Currently running a X99 board with a E5-2698v3 and 64GB ECC non-reg RAM. My problem is i don't have enough slots to run dual NVME drives with the graphics card, RAID controller and nic card.
Cards running:
- GPU 16x 3.0
- RAID controller 8x 3.0
- NIC 8x 3.0
- NVME 4x 3.0
I have found 2 C612 boards that would support my configuration, any thoughts on the following?
- Asrock EPC612D8
- Supermicro X10SRA-F
The Supermicro supports bifurication of the 16x slots which would be helpful in slapping in 4 NVME drives into one slot. However the X10SRA-F doesn't have great reviews and i can't even tell what they've done to their BIOS revisions.
Any other recommendations? As long as it's EATX or ATX, supports NVME boot, and can be dual socket as well if need be.
