    Motherboard PCIE Lanes Issue (and bifurcation for Asus Hyper M.2 card)

    Is there any reason this AMD Epyc-based board+SoC wouldn't work? https://www.newegg.ca/supermicro-mbd-m11sdv-4ct-ln4f-o-single-amd-epyc-3101-soc-processor/p/N82E16813183677 I checked the chipset manual and 4x4 bifurcation is explicitly supported, and it has a NVME slot on the chipset, so I...

    Oh, nice, I didn't realize it had 2 onboard M.2 ports. You're right, that should work well.

    Motherboard PCIE Lanes Issue (and bifurcation for Asus Hyper M.2 card)

    I am seeing if I can make a X299 build work -- but if that doesn't work out, is there any issue with going the Threadripper route?

    Motherboard PCIE Lanes Issue (and bifurcation for Asus Hyper M.2 card)

    Unfortunately all of the Z370/Z390 boards are limited to max. 3 of the 4 M.2 slots of the Asus Hyper card, from the manual for that board: "Two or three SSDs installed onto the Hyper M.2 X16 card can be detected."

    Thanks for the input ermac, I like the Intel idea but I can't find a z370 nor z390 that support 4x4 bifurcation: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1037507 Edit: I see the x299 has a few supported options, will see if I can make that work

    Motherboard PCIE Lanes Issue (and bifurcation for Asus Hyper M.2 card)

    Hello, I recently completed a build that doesn't (completely) work, I believe the issue is that I have too few PCIE lanes. The purpose of this post is twofold: 1. I want to understand how PCIE lanes work, specifically what is the interaction between lanes on the chipset and lanes on the CPU...

    PCI-E bifurcation on AM4 Mini-ITX mobo?

    I think the GIGABYTE X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI will do it? Page 28 of the user manual says the PCIE x16 slot supports "4x4" bifurcation: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_x570-i-aorus-pro-wifi_1001_e.pdf Is 4x4 the same as 4x4x4x4 or do they mean that it will only split it...

    PCI-E bifurcation on AM4 Mini-ITX mobo?

    Hello! First-time poster. I searched around a bit and only found info around a year old. Curious if anyone can help with my situation: Does anyone know of a motherboard which is Mini-ITX form factor, AM4 socket, and supports PCI-E Bifurcation? I believe I need 4x4x4x4 Bifurcation to support...
