    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...

    GPU Suggestions for cheapest 4k 120Hz GPU? (No gaming)

    I recently picked up a Lian Li PC-05s for about $100. Which means that I can actually stand to look at my homelab server. So it's going to also double as a media server in my living room. I haven't owned a TV for a LONG time because my roommate always had a 60" 4k TV that he kept in the...

    Prototype Oki-Doki : a GPU bifurcation and watercooling dedicated case, from 9 to 14L

    Hi there, I've been working on a compact GPU-based rendering workstation project for the last 18 months. Since two GPUs are enough what I need to do, I decided from the start to base my design around a Mini-ITX motherboard supporting bifurcation, wihch allows splitting a 16X PCIe slot into two...

    Motherboard Mini-ITX Dual PCI-E Hot-swapping, possible?

    So I'm currently designing and building my new rig, a TFF (Tiny Form Factor) build, what I'm interested to know is if it's possible to have a Hot-swappable PCIe connection while using either a single 16x slot or 2 * 16x slots via PCIe Bifurcation, I've never done Bifurcation before on a Mini ITX...

    Hello, this is my second S4 Mini build and I just can not get bored of it :) I named this build as mult1700l to refer to the Ryzen 1700 in it and also the fact that this will be my everyday work computer at developing software, running virtual machines, debugging and also generating pretty...
