i know that a Noctua NH-D9DX i4 will *not* fit.I see in pictures of listings on eBay, that passive narrow ILM heatsink is typically installed. Will the active version of the narrow ILM heatsink work on this motherboard? Anyone knows?
Noctuas are quiet, but I'm fine stacking this in another room, so noise shouldn't be an issue. Helpfull wiki btw.i know that a Noctua NH-D9DX i4 will *not* fit.
Wow, very cool! Good reading!very very nice! here's mine (just running the v2s i got originally, though)
There are eight GPU connectors on the Power Distributor Board.by the way, are there any more wired sources of power in this machine? i'm looking for an 8-pin to hook up a GPU, and not seeing one above the motherboard...
sweet, i'm guessing those are tucked under the motherboard, or behind the middle fans. thank you!There are eight GPU connectors on the Power Distributor Board.
Yes, the PDB is located below the motherboard, right behind and at the same compartment level as the Power Supplies. The connectors will face you.sweet, i'm guessing those are tucked under the motherboard, or behind the middle fans. thank you!
found it, and now have 2x K80s up, thank you!Yes, the PDB is located below the motherboard, right behind and at the same compartment level as the Power Supplies. The connectors will face you.
unfortunately, i do not have the knowledge to answer this with any authority. i only draw about 800W max on either of my TR4FTs. with the low draws on the processors (even the E7-8890v3s i've put in top out at 160W per, iirc), i don't see how you'd get up above a kilowatt unless you threw some GPUs in there. for some info on power draws of large numbers of consumer (Seagate Exos) drives, you might like this writeup, in particular the section "Power draws".Thanks @nickblack! Aren't the PSUs additive as well as redundant? I was planning to replace all of the 1620W, which would give me 4x1280W.
