    I'm looking for an URL link or part number of the connector typically soldered on the PCB that connects to a SFF-8087 cable. I could not find it on Digikey or mouser (maybe because I didn't really know what to search for) Anyone have any idea what it's called and where I can purchase them?

    GPU passthrough issues

    I'm no stranger when it comes to building computers (been at it for over 20 years) but this one problem stumped me. [back story] Last summer I bought a pair of E5-2670 (since they were so cheap) from ebay, and also picked up a ASRock EP2C602 Mobo to consolidate my file server/ESXi...
