    Motherboard X570 Bifurcation

    Is there a list of motherboards that support bifurcation? Specifically X570 or alternative AM4 chipset motherboards? I've looked through a few motherboard manuals and don't see this option specifically listed. I have a challenging wireless environment in my house, and no easy way to run ethernet...

    M.2 to MXM?

    Hey so let me start out by saying I’m fairly new to this shit but have been building computers for well over 5 years. I haven’t done a ton of SFF builds but a few. I’ve been doing research lately on some crazy ideas that I’ve been storming up in my head while stuck on deployment and waiting to...

    Concept pcie3.0 splitters-16x to dual 8x

    I noticed some of you guys using PCIE splitters that would be super useful to me, but im struggling to find what I need and was hoping I could get some help. part of what I need to do is split a pcie3.0 slot into two 8x slots and have a gpu in each. I have only been able to find splitters that...

    So this is an entirely hypothetical idea at this point. So, sometimes I sit and ponder about "crazy" and/or "useless" things but I recently had one that I really like and did't know how exactly to try implement it. Bare with me. 3rd gen Ryzen is coming out in the (near) future and has been...

    future m.2 bandwidth for PCIe adapters?

    My understanding is that your NVMe M.2 > PCIe x16 adapter has limitations of PCIe x4 speeds as the bandwidth is limited to that amount on the motherboard. As interest seems to be growing for this graphics adapter solution to be used with Mini-STX boards & that ultra small form factor, do you...

    Other In search for a PCIe Riser Card that doesn't block the Audioports of the Motherboard

    I guess you know those riser cards: https://www.delock.de/produkte/S_89105/merkmale.html They would be a good alternative to flexible risers but in my testing the PCIe bracket of a two slots graphics cards collides with the Audio Ports of a normal layout mini itx board just barely but just too...

    Possible EGPU connector Mod?

    So I was digging around, and found a nifty looking cable. https://cs-electronics.com/product/pcie-x16-cable-fully-shielded/ It is a cable with a seemingly small connector that allows the bridging of PCI-E x 16 signals. Could it be possible to say, transfer a standard PCI-E connector on an ITX...

    Motherboard Thoughts on using used / replacement AIO motherboards

    I want to start this off by saying that I realize this idea is highly impractical. Many AIOs use non-standard motherboard form factors, many have few to no standard sata connectors, awkwardly placed ports, and good luck finding them with standard power connectors. But every now and then you see...

    Splicing Sata to PCIE 6 Pin

    So, I have a couple of these guys: And I was wondering, is there a way I can splice one of them onto the SATA cable directly by removing the male and female ends? I would also be taking the opportunity to reduce my cable length and sleeve them, so I'm not concerned about soldering and heat...

    Part Flexible PCIe risers

    A lot of new case designs are using flexible PCIe risers, and for a good reason. They allow for flexibility when placing the GPU, enabling much more efficient layouts. There are many different risers out there, so I thought it would be helpful to have a thread where we can collect information...

    Making a PCIe x16 riser?

    I just stumbled upon a new connector series from Molex, the Nano-Pitch connectors, which seem to be similar to the size of HDMI and DP connectors, but with a whopping 42 circuits per connector. Allegedly they are designed for PCIe applications, supporting even the upcoming PCIe 4.0. So it seems...
