Hi All, I’ve gone way down the rabbit hole on this, and I’m hoping someone can either point me in the right direction — or tell me to stop My current setup has been running reliably, but I’m considering a lower-power, smaller system as the first part of an upgrade. I am looking at getting an...

Hi everyone, I have a strange issue with a Supermicro AS-8125GS-TNHR server (HGX H100 platform). The operating system (Linux) sees all Mellanox/NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs (8 cards total), all PCIe links are up and fully functional. However, the BMC shows only ONE NIC — the one installed in PCIe...

This is a bit of a crosspost but thought it was worth sharing my latest experimental hardware acquisition in case some here didnt read the other forums. About a month ago I ordered a pex 88096 (96 lane pcie gen4 switch) board off ali express for around 500 bones. It took 2.5-3 weeks to arrive...

I'm trying to use a workstation PSUs (ZEUS 1650R Titanium) with a server motherboard Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T. There are 2 types of cables I have that look similar: The EPS ones that appear to be for the CPU and the PCIe ones that look like the CPUs ones. My problem is with the connectors on...

Do you have any idea what's going on? for both H13SSL-N and H14SSL-N Supermicro writes different M.2 PCIe Gen versions in different places, including the manuals, to the point where I'm completely confused. Product page - Key features Product Page - Specs Manual H13SSL-N Gen 5 Gen 4 Gen 5...

MCIO PCIe 5 -> MCIO x8 74 Pin to 2 X SFF-8639 U.2 Cable -> U.2 PCIe 5 It would be quite a remarkable stupidity to buy a PCIe 5 motherboard and a PCIe 5 U.2 and slow them down with a PCIe 4 cable, if indeed these cables come in PCIe versions. This one was mentioned earlier, not sure about the...

If I plug a PCIe 5 U.2/U.3 NVMe via SlimSAS to the Motherboard does it then operate at PCIe 5 speed, or does SlimSAS somehow just support PCIe 5 i.e. make it work, but not run at the PCIe 5 speed?

I must say I'm a bit scratching my Head on this one ... I have ordered several of these Risers (Supermicro RSC-RR1U-E16 Rev 3.3 / Rev 3.6 / Rev 4.0): However the Metal Bracket (which as a Hole for attaching to the Chassis) prevents the Riser from being installed, since there is no cutout...

Hello, I want to connect two U.3 NVMe (SFF-8639) to the PCIe slot in my home server. But I cannot decide on the adapter solution to go with. Option A: (PCIe to SFF-8639) Using an adapter where the U.3 device is mounted directly on the adaptor in the same way as people usually do with M.2...

There are a few options for cheap-ish x710-da4 quad SFP+ low-profile cards on Ali Express. They all look the same. Here is one. The x710 appears appealing as it allows for the CPU to enter the lower power modes. (ASPM) Anyone tried one of these cheap cards in one of the Lenovo tinymicrominis...

First off, sorry if this is the wrong thread. I didn't really know where to post. Okay. I have a m920q, but the motherboard doesn't support bifurcation by default. Someone told me I could use hardware sided bifurcation, and that I could buy a bifurcation card. I have a x8, and am wishing to get...

I've recently bought Intel x520-da2, for both of my Homeserver(Proxmox) and my PC*(dual boot Windows11&Linux); I’m struggling to reach full speed i think it is a PCIe bandwidth limitation on my Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX motherboard while using Intel 82599ES 10Gb SFP+ NIC. The NIC should run at x8...

I'm trying to spec some s/h/refurb gear for a US friend, me being based in the UK -- where do you guys buy refurb gear? I'm looking for SAN HBA (2x32gbs at least) pcie cards... Can't seem to find that easily, but then again my google is all skewed as it tries to push me UK sellers :-) If you...

I recently acquired a Supermicro superserver with X10DRG-OT+ mainboard and X9DRG-O-PCIE board. I need to be able to boot from NVMe drive(s), my plan was to install Proxmox on a ZFS RaidZ1 with 4 NVMe drives. I got a cheap PCIe NVMe riser card - ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card V2...

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...

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: -...

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...

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...

I recently purchased a PCIe NVMe drive for my PowerEdge R740. It is the "Dell PM1725 NVMe SSD," manufactured by Samsung. The Samsung part number is MZPLK3T2HCJL. iDRAC9 showed an available firmware update: "Express Flash PCIe SSD." After successfully downloading the update, the installation...

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...
