Are there 3rd-party cases for the new Epyc TYAN S8026GM2NRE w/ Oculink?

[AveryFreeman]

Hi,

I'm interested in getting a Tyan S8026GM2NRE motherboard but I'd prefer to put it in a 3rd-party case because 2U tends to have too many cooling issues in my environment (would like a big full-atx case to put it in) but it has PCI risers instead of PCI slots

Has anyone heard of a 3rd-party case to put them in, or a way to make them work in other cases, or would I just be relegated to using the Tyan case?

Thanks!

Resurrecting old thread because I have the same question.

Here's are some pictures of the Tyan chassis (that are impossible to find so far):

1U


2U


Edit: sales rep replied, "Tyan does not sell chassis standalone." So what chassis do people put these boards in?

i got a intel s2600WFT some weeks ago.
it fits in intel chassis only thought, but i found some chenbro chassis for the s2600WF
maybe we have luck there.

Fortunately, the S8026 and similar are a standard EATX/SSI-EEB form factor. It just doesn't seem like PCIe risers will line up in many chassis, and using the mezzanine will probably require some cutting and grinding. That and maybe one will need to 3D print an I/O shield.

but that's the point !
not many, will fit none.

I don't quite follow. Something about how they're not made to be used in non-OEM chassis?

Might try something like this:

1U Rackmount Chassis / InWin / IW-RS110-07

InWin 1U rackmount storage server meets Intel Xeon Scalable and AMD EPYC family. Hybrid storage server supports with U.2 NVMe/SAS/SATA HDD bays.

but that's the point here. they sell the boards but not the chassis.

Might try something like this:

fits only the board is easy. what about the 2x x24 riser slots ?

It's a real head-scratcher...

TBD. I'm waiting on a quote for risers. Probably need either riser or someway of using mezzanine. Otherwise it's sort of a moot point to put a bunch of fast NVMe behind two GbE ports.

Ehhh... could be worse. So $45 for 1U riser for that In-Win chassis.

GUANGHSING GHI series looks promising.
