Yes, I've got a bunch of them with the new board revision (V1.3) and the updated 19inch rack design and one passive one at home. The 19inch versions pulls air from the front, exhausting at the back while the older revision hat ventilation from the bottom (in a rack mount, duh!). Also, they are...

So I'd assume, that there was a reason for these board revisions. No issue for any of mine so far. Even under heavy load, everything seems fine. I hope that it stays that way!

I think i've seen values in the 40watts range for those. That's typically more a question of what the motherboard supports, rather than what the connector supports, but i'm sure i've seen >3Amps on boards going back to LGA1151, that's like >10years.

4pin 12v molex is rated for 132Watts afaik.

first of all, it's a watts-per-area type of issue, where you have a small area dissipating a ton of heat. The limiting factor here is the material it needs to transfer through, like copper or thermal paste. If you reduce those layers or improve the thermal interface, you can get a lot more oomph...

12w idle is actually good. that's a significant factor for home servers!

Strix Halo's exposing 16 lanes to the motherboard. EPYC-4000's exposing 28 Lanes. A Xeon D-1500 is exposing 32 lanes, 8 of which would go to the A310 - but that's Gen3, not Gen4, so you leave performance on the table. Also, you're missing the core point of the initial post. It's in the context...

If you don't need to add a gpu, 16 pcie lanes are fair, no? If you use 8 lanes for a GPU on the EPYC 4000 part, you end up with the same. The disappointing part is, that it's only gen4 lanes imo. I hope that AMD is co-packaging ECC with their next gen though.

One big downside to clustering Strix Halos for inference currently seems to be cluster coherency. USB4+10gbit ethernet is too slow or has too much overhead. The 4x slot of the framework desktop board is enough to saturate 2x 25gbit network cards, which could improve that situation - but your...

If you're looking for AI inference, it's probably a good deal. What's the alternative for larger models? you'd end up with something twice as expensive. I'd default to something with ECC for servers, especially with AMD, but it's got a good price-performance for it's niche.

Have you thought about Framework Desktop Motherboards? Framework Webshop Those have the benefit of being standards-conform m-itx motherboards. Ofc, there's still the full on Framework Desktop SFF PC.

Is this thing still 21inch wide like the ocp open-frame? Looks SUUUUPER wide.

well, it does have an impact on latency, sooooo...

It It's an interesting topic in general. I'd say that the closest metrics to noise is probably switching base load in relation to density and process node for the ASIC, not link speed or pure power consumption. Here is why: It is important to understand, where the heat gets produced and where...

I've not had issues with the fans and I assume they'll have a long life since they are fairly silent and, compared to server 40mm fans, spinning slowly. They seem more designed for a slight air flow than serious active cooling.

The 48GB and 96GB variants of the Pro version are ECC, the 16GB one is not. The docs are stating the maximum support at 96GB RAM. The CPU supports up to 256 apparently, but I am mighty unsure, if even 128GB is smart or even possible. Aren't AMD's memory controllers a bit more flimsy? Is this a...

After owning one for 2 weeks now, It leaves me with mixed feelings. First the negatives (partly unrelated to the NAS, and partly due to limits of what AMD offers): Oh my god, Tech became expensive! The Aquantia NIC is problematic on FreeBSD. The driver is still in the works (FreeBSD issue)...

Let's goo

I just found out, that the AQC113is not supported by FreeBSD apparently. i started one as well a good week before you started your technical thread, even referenced it at the first post of the deals thread. everybody just kept posting in deals though :rolleyes:! I'm most likely getting my N5...

Yes, that Model has additional banks for storing the extra bits. It's analogous to UDIMM ECC. The pin layout is a bit different, the size is a bit different, it typically has slightly worse timings, but it's essentially the same thing.
