Sorry for the long delay, I took the PC on holidays and hid offline for two weeks. So nice... No, the bifurcation riser is electrically two x8 slots. It is not possible to get the full x16 speeds, but very few cards need the full x16. In my situation the GPU cannot fully saturate an x8 Gen 3...

Huzzah. A bit of wrangling and it all fits. I need to get some black zipties and a bit of RGB strip but I'm calling it done for now. The GPU is currently a 1070 but will get swapped for a 5700 XT sometime in the spring. I'm looking at laser etching a logo into the front panel. I need now to find...

@rfarmer Ha. Ha. Ha. I see! ? Rotating the cooler definitely won't work on this motherboard, the chipset coolers are really tall. Cryorig C7 incoming! @ermac318 That's a beautiful little board. I really want to see motherboard manufacturers take up this type of design. I'm going to repack the...

Hi Weaseal. I'm just finishing a build with Ryzen 3700X, Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX, and x8x8 Bifurcation. Took a little playing with BIOS settings but it's working well now. It does not support x4x4x4x4 and the motherboard chipset heatsinks and right angle SATA connectors made it a...

Sliger uses Ameri-Rack ARC1-PELY423-C3V3 risers. I've posted on the ASRock forum, hopefully someone there can share their experience with the motherboard and bifurcation. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13029&title=x570-gaming-itx-gpu-error-with-pcie-bifurcation I'm going to email...

Yeah, the NIC is one slot wide and the GPU two and a bit. The riser has two adjacent slots so the NIC has to go in slot 1.

I'm debugging an issue with Bifurcation using the Asrock X570 Gaming ITX motherboard, Sliger SM560 riser, Zotac GTX 1070, and (eventually) a Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx dual 25 Gigabit NIC. The GPU displays the BIOS in all slots and bifurcation settings, but Windows 10 doesn't use it in the second...

So, I did not need to take the motherboard out! The GPU is detected just fine with the BIOS configured to *not* bifurcate the x16 slot and the GPU in either of the two riser slots. Windows 10 installed on the SSD using UEFI, BIOS updated to the latest, latest drivers installed for both the Zotac...

Nah, with a handsaw it only took a little bit to get down to size. It is touching the top of the RAM though and I lost two of the cooler fan mount points. Definitely not done with the cable packing/routing, but it's coming together. I can't help feeling like I missed some point with the hard...

Update time! All components are here including the power supply shim. It look great! It's 6mm thick aluminum. The width allows standard 1/2 inch screws to be used to attach to the PSU and the PSU/Case's supplied 1/4 inch screws to attach the case to the plate. The countersunk holes are...

The fit of the SATA cables into the right angle connectors was the largest known risk in this build. I'm content with the outcome that it can fit but needs a custom shim. It'll be a 6mm thick plate with two sets of SFX mounting holes. That should be made in the next week or so. Three more...

Thank you confusis for all your time and work! Hi folks! Yes, I want Thunderbolt specifically for professional applications. Increasingly it's seen as a reasonable/likely bus for high bandwidth radio systems and for FPGA accelerator hardware. Other applications include video capture cards...

Because there isn't anyone else who makes an AMD ITX motherboard with Thunderbolt. I'm planning on undervolting/clocking most components and have been conservative about thermal demands.

Ooo! The case has shipped! This motherboard issue is going to be the big delay then. Boo.

Most of the parts have arrived! The SM560 will probably be the last item to arrive because the national meltdown that is Brexit delayed getting it ordered. (No blame to the folks at Sliger or Density.sk!) Unfortunately the motherboard arrived today and thankfully I was super curious to...
