If you have available in your country, it works well with Goodram 3200MHz ECC Udimm. You have below codename of sticks.

nvme to sata adapter wont be a bottleneck? internal nvme slot is only pci3 x1 - so 1 Gb/s total.
i am building now my new proxmox node. say goodbye to my x9sri watt hungry...
and i cant figure out best config for me.
idea is to use x4 slot for mellanox card or maybe x550-at2. hope x4 would be enough for one 10g uplink. btw how how this card? worth it to add on rad additional cooler?
To use x4x4x8 bifurcation card for x16 slot for 2 nvme...
and next i dont know.. should i find hba, or grab nvme to sata for internal slot. atm i have 4 4tb hdd, but plan to switch them to 2 18tb drives later on..
Goal, to use proxmox with truenas onboard, in addition to couple vms with containers.
Give some advice please.
For 4-6 rust spinners one lane is fine and nvme to sata seems like a nobrainer.. no sane zfs layout will bottleneck you
I personally run x710-da4 (4x sfp+) in the x4 slot in one box and Mellanox connect-x 4 in another both runs without issues
If you only plan to use a max of 4 spinners, then u can go nvme to sata, and get a 4x nvme adaptor for the x16 and not x4x4x8
Since i run my truenas baremetal i can also use the onboard sata for a total of 14 sata ports, with a cheap LSi 9207-8I
I've tested several newer models of lsi but keeps comming back to the 2008 based cards for pure tested stability (if only sata drives)
if you run newer sas then as minimun go 9300 serries based on 3008 chip
That depends on your case airflow, i have an extra noctua fan placed inside my case to cool both HBA and NIC in my boxes
probably not needed in real server cases or something like the fractal torrent
but both HBA's and most servergrade NIC's need some airflow to not overheat
thnx. for start yes 4 rust spinners, then change to 2 hdd and maybe 2 sata ssd max.For 4-6 rust spinners one lane is fine and nvme to sata seems like a nobrainer.. no sane zfs layout will bottleneck you

currently i dont have any 10g nic or network equipment but want to order now together all parts for it. and 10g nic as futureproof.
Thnx mate for hba advice.
Currently i run truenas baremetal on it (moved my installation from x9sri) with all data and containers. but Truenas annouced that they will dropoff containers support in next release, so no scale apps((
that seems like great news to me
it has been a hot mess since day1 imo ... and lets Ixsystems focus on the storage partSpin up a debian/docker VM and manage with portainer like a normal person, if you really need to run stuff inside Truenas
but you changing to proxmox as hypervisior hopefully does the same even better hehe
my build is in fractal node 804. so there is in upper part of it in and out fans alongside cpu fan, but probably will need to add 1 intake at bottom part for nic and hba airflow
yes, but imho i liked it as AIO solution for me)), for me worked great)) but yep its time to prepare to become like normal person hehe))that seems like great news to me

I never looked at the node 804 .. nice case and it seems that it's very easy to get some good airflow going with plenty of room for both extra intake and exaust fans
My Truenas is in a Define XL ... chunky motherfuxxer
Mellanox Connect-X3 and Intel X550 (with newest firmware) don't support ASPM, so your CPU will use more power. Get a Connect-X4 or Intel X710 instead.
I got connectx4 lx in x2 and can saturate that 10g (and get to 6-7g on 2nd port).
In a x4 you can max out both ports without any issues.
Im still waiting for my last package from ali that ofc has the risers and heatsinks
thnx for advice. will check those card on ali
thnx for info, btw which heatsinks did you choose?I got connectx4 lx in x2 and can saturate that 10g (and get to 6-7g on 2nd port).

The bundle with heatsink listing has been dropped to 47,99€ btw.
Not sure if il use that heatsink but il probably grab 5 of these instead of waiting for the standalone board to be dropped in price again.

Hi everyone,
Im read thread and still have some questions...
I currently run Supermicro H11DSi motherboard, Epyc 7601 CPU, 128GB RDIMM RAM(8x16GB), Mellanox CX354(Using only 1x10G) and because of high power consumption, lack of redundancy and to powerfull CPU (It runing few VM's: Sophos FW, HomeAssistant OS, TrueNAS, IPTV Server, GPS Track Server, UNIFI controller and one Win 10 VM). Even with only 16 cores enabled CPU is in Proxmox most of time around 4% with some spikes to 20%... First I think about MJ11-EC1 motherboard but because of a lot of problems with PCIe adapters Im start looking for alternative and Im found this one...
1.) What are supported CPU-s with ECC support? Im think to buy AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X because I can get new one for better price than used on ebay and if I compare CPU score with current Epyc 7601 CPU it have a lot of better single core score. Single core performance is important in my case because Sophos XG firewall when decode SSL/TLS traffic can decode single connection only on single core...
If Im read spec corectlly it support ECC and PCIe4.0 . Will this CPU support running 4x4x4x4x and 4x4x8x bifurcation? Im currently not sure which option will need...
2.) Is mixing pcie3.0&4.0 in bifurcation possible? For example running intel x710-da2(PCIe 3.0 8x) and 2x Samsung PM9A3(PCIe4.0 4x) ? What will happen in this case? All devices run in PCIe3.0 mode? What will this mean for PM9A3? Will speed be limited to 4GB/s or to half of max for example 1,92GB device instead of Read: 6800/2700 to 3400/1350 or will be limited to 4000/2700?
3.) Can someone post how IOMMU grouping of device is done on this MB? I need passtrough SATA controller to TrueNAS VM and I would like if it share . In worst case I will use SATA(I need it only for 2x HDD) in M2 slot...

Hi, regarding 3, I don't have access to print the IOMMU grouping right now, but, the SATA controller shares with one of the USB headers, so you cannot pass that through under proxmox.
I was also unsuccessful trying your 2nd suggestion - I could not pass through a ASM1166 m2 6 sata expansion card, in the onboard m2 slot.
HBA works great.
