Awesome, thanks for your help, I will look into those

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.

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?

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...

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...

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...
