You suggested 2x25GbE cards on x4 electrical, which doesn't make any sense if you truly want to utilize the network, not just to say its attached to the motherboard.
You can get up to 32gbps so 25gbps is a possibility. Do you want to route 25gbps from one Port to the Other ?

Furthermore the Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX is a 2x25gbps NIC which can often be bought 2nd hand for less than the Intel X710-DA2 which is only 2x10gbps. Just saying ;) .

As you've seen, reading the manual doesn't always lets you think correctly ... the board supports x8x4x4, along with few other things, missing from the manual, as stated in the thread.
Sure, buried in one of the many Pages :D. Suppliers and Manufacturers also lie. Nothing new there unfortunately :rolleyes:.


Since it seems you want to nit-pick things - its 25GbE - I am sure you can check the manuals about that one too :)
I always use gbps but OK if you think a Byte (B) is the same as a bit (b) that's up to you ;).

I got a couple of the PCIe X16 to X8X4X4 Adapter that you suggested, to see if I can at some Point make a use out of it :D .

I'm curious how you managed to use that X8 Slot however.

Do you have a Chassis where the PCIe Cards are installed in a transversal Manner ?

Otherwise it might be possible to "displace" it with something along the Lines of

But then I would have to insulate the existing (unpopulated) SLOT4 and place this Adapter PCIe Socket on top of it. But then the NIC would probably stick 1-2 cm too tall for the 2U or similar Chassis :( . And Nope, I don't have any PCIe Slots that are outside of the Motherboard and the only transversal one on the Silverstone ML03 is on the wrong Side and already blocked once the CPU Cooler is installed anyway.

Aaah you want to put an AMD Stock Cooler with those Plastic Holders that sit on the Motherboard ?

Well ... they are NOT delivered with this Motherboard (unless I missed a Bag in the Package or something, possibly where the I/O Shields are).

I guess that since this is a custom Server Motherboard (as opposed to a consumer Motherboard), then don't deliver those.

And most Aftermarket Coolers (Noctua, Thermalright, probably many more such as BeQuiet etc) will have their own Mounting Kit anyways.

You just have 4 threaded Holes. Then similar Screws to what it's used with these Plastic Holders (same Thread, probably slightly different Length and Head Shape) are inserted through the Metal Part delivered by the OEM, with some Plastic Standoff to set the required Spacing from the Motherboard (matching the height/spacing provided by those AMD Plastic Holders)

I didn't check in detail but I guess there's not much you cannot find on Aliexpress so probably some Article like this e.g. search amd am4 bracket (check in more Detail):
Thing is, I have these black plastics, they came with boards. There must be cheap compatible cooler that will definitely fit I believe. Had something similar on older sockets.

I also got USB and audio cables, but only 5 for 12 board unfortunately :-(

I didn't check to see if I had any cable at all. For sure NOT in the 2 Motherboards I pulled out of the Box. But knowing how I'm "lucky", they will come out with the last Motherboard I pull out, I'm sure of it o_O .

Cheap Good. Pick one ...

The Noctua NH-L9x65 (doesn't even Fit according to Noctua Support) and Similar will struggle with a 8 Core CPU ...

30 EUR for that Thermalright isn't a bad Deal IMHO if you don't mind it being White. I didn't want to pay extra for Black since in Forced Air Cooling (Forced Convection) the Color of the Cooler (Black is better for Radiation) shouldn't matter too Much

The Thermalright should be better than this one for sure (search: amd stock cooler, but probably amd am4 cooler would also work):
30 EUR is more I'm willing to give considering I need 12 pieces. This is more like price tag I'd like:
But have no idea if this will cool down 2600X. This will be my first experience with AMD board & CPU since Duron and I'm still waiting for CPU's. Then I will be more useful testing your scripts :)

A low profile card in the x8 slot has the same height as a normal full height card.
The screw hole does not line up perfectly unless you got a card with both notches in the bracket tho (low/full profile has screw holes in different positions).

I got these adapters with 2x 25gbe cards on the x8 slot for all my ryzen builds.
OK, so it's not a 90° Adapter actually, the other Card (NIC in your Case) goes in straight from the Top ?

Then it's even MUCH WORSE. It's will stick 4cm out of the Chassis if I do that :rolleyes: .

EDIT 1: Maybe that works well for a Low-Profile Card when used in a Full-Height Chassis/Case with a Full-Profile Bracket. But to stay within 2U that simply will NOT work :( .

EDIT 2: Example with Intel X710-DA2: with the Low-Profile Adapter it's already flush with the PCB
1743929752664.png

If you raise the Base (which is going to be the X8 Slot from the Adapter) by 4cm, that goes 4cm out of the Case/Chassis ...

EDIT 1: yeah, I re-read what you wrote. The Low-Profile Card becomes Full-Profile Card. So you need a 4U (not sure if 3U fits 12cm, maybe very tight ?) or bigger Chassis basically :( .

If you want to go for the Cheapest possibly this one should be close to the AMD Stock Cooler. No experience with either though:


Or maybe this ?

Or the smaller Thermalright brother ?

But IMHO you shouldn't design your System to be at 90°C at full Load.

In my Case I'd expect also the Thermalright AXP120-X67 and that one has 6 Heatpipes (meaning the Heat Transfer will be so much better compared to a 0 or 2 Heatpipes Cooler).

I'd run a Test at full load with one of these Coolers (or the one you suggested) before buying 12 of those if I were you.

IMHO all of the ones I mention in this Post (except the Thermalright AXP120-X67) are greatly undersized for a 2700X/3700X/5700X and probably on the Edge (100°C ?) for a 2600X
Thank you for your tips. Will definitely test before I buy 12 pieces. Also, I see AXP120-X67 marked as "Frequently returned":

Any idea for some cheap and good NVMe Storage ?

I was actually planning SATA SSD since I have many of them .... BUT then the SSD Hot Swap Bay Cost will probably end up being quite expensive. These Icy Dock 4x2.5 in 5.25'' Adapters have more than doubled in Price since a few Years back :( .

I saw some Good Deals for Consumer Samsung 980 for 1TB/50 EUR or so.

This also looks interesting but seems WAY too good to be true for an enterprise NVMe Drive. I smell scam but he sold 315 of them ...

Small update from me:

Unsuppressed "Platform first error reporting" setting. This should be disabled for ECC reporting to work.
I do not have Memtest paid version to test error injection.
When I have some time I plan to test other methods to induce errors (memory overclock, pin shortening, heat) and verify error reporting.

Instant Flash does not like the modded bios. CH341 programmer works for me.

Unfortunately I did not find the settings @hmartin wanted in CbsSetupDxe

You can find my modded bios (and some notes about this board) here: GitHub - AndrewLinden/B450D4U-V1LQ5: ASRock Rack B450D4U-V1LQ5

@luckylinux the last 6 posts in this thread are from you, some only minutes after the next and related to the previous one.

Please consider editing your posts to amend information instead of making more and more. The many posts bloat the thread and discourage people from reading 20+ pages of posts to catch up...

exactly as Cruzader mentionned, a low profile X710 in the upper X16 (mechanical, X8 electrical) slot of the riser, and indeed the low profile brackets, more or less match with a bit of trial and error into a full height pcie of the case
So a 2U system would become 4U essentially. Not a Problem if you already planned to use a Midi ATX Tower / 4U Chassis of course. But I'm coming from the Opposite Angle and if I need to go from 2U / Silverstone ML03 to 4U / Midi ATX Tower Form Factor, it's also another Volume that the Case Occupies :( .

Is that Euros or :cool: ?
Yes.
Got some good deals on pallets of servers that i could not refuse.

Also for coolers that was discussed a bit earlier, pio still have 600+ left of these after the mc12-le0 boards as most boards sold without coolers.
Would expect some fairly low offers for 12pcs to be accepted.

@ALinden: What about the Configuration Settings that I asked for ? Did you have a chance to dump these now that you did the BIOS Mod ?

I had shared with you the dmidecode Output a while ago already
After bios mod I did a quick compare of SCELNX output, and to me it seems that the settings were the same between original and modded bios. But only with modded bios ECC would be activated upon boot.

Yes I saw your dmidecode data with UUID similar to what I had.
Regarding to UUID I found this nice writeup how to set a generated UUID. The same utility allows to change also other SMBIOS data.

You have experience with these? Will they cool down 2600X better then those discussed?

If they are better than those mentioned i dont know, ive used them for multiple 5700x builds for over a year and not had any temp issues tho.
The first round of MC12-LE0 boards i bought had these included.

I expected the same to happend with this as the mc12-le0, their remaining stock is bought up by resellers that then take over the market.
I was tempted at making a 15€/ea offer for a few hundread boards myself.

The alpha38 account now listing single boards at a higher cost is the same seller tho.
Few hundreds :eek: ? WHAT are you doing exactly ? Reselling them or ?

I'm curious what you are running on those Compute Nodes you mentioned previously ;). Some Kubernetes Cluster ? But with that kind of Power it seems more like a Hosting Farm or something like that :oops:.

I don't know where you get the impression I'm having fun.

If somebody would bother to fix this stupid character limitation in this forum MAYBE I wouldn't have to split them into separate posts.
Im not hitting any limits beyond maybe uploads, but im increasingly getting a fairly long loading time when posting replies.
Like 15-30sec of that blue bar going on top of page before it actualy posts, it does seem a bit unhappy at times.

I assembled my second board with 5700X in SilverStone RM23-502-MINI with Dynatron A47 cooler.
Rear USB works, VGA output works with default settings (CSM = enabled, video Oprom policy = legacy only, boot mode=legacy)

I used ECC RAM. dmidecode did show Total Width greater than Data Width, but did not show "Error Correction Type: Multi-bit ECC" for memory.
I will have to investigate further.
That's actually a quite nice Case. If it wasn't double the Price of the Silverstone ML03 I might have considered it.

About ECC RAM, isn't it enough to use

And Multi-Bit ECC I think is only supported with REGISTERED Memory, isn't it ? Or at least that was my Impression in the Past. This memory here is unbuffered.

However, looking at Supermicro Website for the X10SLM+-F they state:


Error Detection
  • Corrects single-bit errors
  • Detects double-bit errors (using ECC memory)


A Motherboard Supporting Registered Memory such as the X10SRL-F state the same:

Error Detection
  • Corrects single-bit errors
  • Detects double-bit errors (using ECC memory)

So I guess it depends if you mean "Single Bit" Correction vs "Multi Bit" Detection.

My Output for dmidecode shows Multi-bit ECC only for the L3 Cache at least (on Supermicro X10SLM+-F).

It seems "Error Correction Type: Multi-bit ECC" might be only with registered RAM.
On a E3 1230 v3sysem using unbuffered ECC DDR3 is see in the "Physical Memory Array" section:
"Error Correction Type: Single-bit ECC"

However with my 5700X I have at the moment:
"Error Correction Type: None"
Very weird. Are you sure you are in the right Memory "Section" (32GB or 64GB depending on what you have installed) ? Although I guess also the L2 and L3 should have some kind of ECC (like mine shows).

This is from an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING Consumer Motherboard with AMD 5950X and 4x32GB ECC Kingston RAM.
Not sure why I have multi-bit ECC though:

EDIT 1: Otherwise check BIOS, maybe it's turned off by Default ? Or there is some BIOS/dmidecode BUG ? Check with Passmark Memtest86 in that Case.

EDIT: 2 Checked with dmesg as well on this ASUS + 5950X Ryzen System
Code:

Still undecided to be honest. I was thinking of migrating off the Supermicro X10SLL-F/X10SLM-F Series since this is approx. 4 Times more CPU Power with the 5700X (and twice the RAM), but nothing set in Stone, especially since nobody wants to buy my 2nd Hand Gear here in Denmark :(. But the Supermicro X10SLL-F/X10SLM-F and even better the Supermicro X11SSL-F/X11SSM-F still has something I miss in these newer (Fujitsu TX1320, ASRock Rack B450D4U-V1LQ5) Systems: some PCIe Slot (x8 or x16 Mechanical or open-Ended x4) connected to the PCH/DMI/Chipset. Yeah, it's slow, but for ASPM to work on the Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX, that seems like the only Option (and should still be enough for 10gbps).

But in Terms of Software, pretty sure I'll go with Proxmox VE for the Host as usual. Then some VMs for OPNSense (originally I thought I'd use the Xeon E3 v6 for that, but maybe not, let's see), a/several VMs for Docker/Podman Containers (heck might even try to run Kubernetes in the long term), some heavy intensive Builders / Distcc Helpers I guess. I don't think I'll go the HA route with CEPH, I'll probably just stick with ZFS as usual too.

Given it's an AMD Ryzen System, maybe one I could use to mine some XMR, unsure. I never went into Crypto but maybe a bit could be useful.

I also asked @Cruzader like 5 Times what he's doing with his Stuff and he never answered :). Wonder if he's working towards cracking some Encryption or whatnot (although GPUs would be way better for that) :p.

EDIT 1: @chlastakov: and what are you going to do with your 12 :p ?
Mainly to play, test things on desk. I bought this for playing. Probably learn Kubernetes clustering, build separate NAS. Since they were super cheap, learn how to hack BIOS :D Already ordered programmer.

Yes.
Got some good deals on pallets of servers that i could not refuse.

Also for coolers that was discussed a bit earlier, pio still have 600+ left of these after the mc12-le0 boards as most boards sold without coolers.
Would expect some fairly low offers for 12pcs to be accepted.
They accepted EUR 8 / piece for 12 pieces plus 20 shipping.

I'd still like to understand exactly how you did it (how you modified & rebuilt the BIOS exactly)
you have to find the bytes of "EqIdVal QuestionId: 0x9, Value: 0xC" in the CbsSetupDxeXX.sct file,
modify and exchange the original with your modified version with UEFITool_0.28.0 ( NE can't modify BIOS)
UEFITool calculates new checksum of the ffs entry.
the signed status of the whole BIOS is now invalid, not accepted by AFU tools,
same is if you simply just change the BIOS logo.
Code:
0x1C53C         Suppress If: {0A 82}
0x1C53E             Variable 0x9 equals 0xFF {12 86 09 00 FF 00}
0x1C544                 Not {17 02}
0x1C546             End {29 02}
0x1C548             Ref: UMC Common Options, Variable: 0xFFFF {0F 0F 07 00 07 00 03 00 00 00 FF FF 00 03 70}
0x1C557         End If {29 02}
