    Intel x710-DA2 Running not able to run at PCIE 3.0 x2 speed

    UPDATE: I opened a support ticket with Intel and they were able to confirm that the x710-DA2 does not support x2 speed. Only x1, x4, or x8. I have 10gb networking in my desktop and recently upgraded from an Intel x520-DA2 to an Intel x710-DA2 (Dell OEM original fully updated firmware). I did...

    Advice for an AM5 board/build with 40 G fibre?

    I am in the process of transitioning from the venerable X99 (and E5-2697 v4) in my workstation to an AM5 system. The CPU choice is easy (9950X) but I am curious about the motherboards as we know AM5 is a bit scant on PCIe lanes. What I am looking for is a (workstation) board that will serve: -...

    Low power GPU for h.264 and h.265 decoding

    Hello, what would be a good recommendation for a low power PCIe GPU for h.264 and h.265 decoding? My Proxmox home server with 16 core Xeon CPU E5-2698 v3 is over spec for the purpose I am using it. But it is blast from the past and lacks of a GPU. This I never missed so far. To set up an NVR...

    x670e Godlike/Ace, the best consumer motherboards for multi GPU

    I'm just sharing this. if you need a 3-4 GPUs setup like I do, these are by far the best in the entire consumer space (z890 and x870e included). 5.0 x8/x8/x4/x4 (via the m.2 slot) and why not another m.2 4.0 x4 via the PCH for the gpu that drives the displays. there's also bifurcation, so maybe...

    Understanding switching in a PCIE switch

    Hi All, I am new to the concept and really want to understand in PCIE 5.0 is there any max upperlimit of how many lanes can be supported in a PCIE Switch ? If all the existing high end GPUs need x16, why cant I have PCIE switch with 512 lanes so that it can just support atleast 30 high end GPUs...

    Can SATA disks work with PCIe-only MCIO

    So my understanding is MCIO is a replacement for MiniSAS HD/SlimSAS (and possibly OcuLINK?) as it can support much faster transfer rates for future PCIe standards? But like, I noticed that some motherboards suggest an MCIO port supporting PCIe Gen3 x8 OR SATA (8x I guess) via the PCH bus, but...

    Downgraded PCIE lane speed/width?

    Hi, So I have been looking at how much lanes each of my pcie cards were using and saw something I am not sure about. I have 3 cards in my server. 1 Quadro P400 , a LSI 9201-8i and a Realtek 2.5gb/s nic with 2 ports. My cpu is a Ryzen 5 2600 which has 20 pcie lanes. My worries is that when...

    PCIe 5.0 x16 via switch(?) to (4x) PCIe 3.0 x16?

    STH has reviews on the AIC JBOX, and the Microchip SwitchTec PCIe switch chips. At least in principle it sees possible to go from a single PCIe 5 slot to 4x PCIe 3 ... but I must be searching wrong, as not finding anything. Is this strictly the domain of custom hardware design, or is there...
