Wait pcie4 won't allow rising of an m.2 slot?i wish they did THAT for PCIe on ITX boards, LOL ,_, (although that might be impossible for PCIe4 now...)
It absolutely still supports that. It's just harder because the increased bandwidth means timings are more important. A short cable might work just fine, a long one will need signal repeater chips.Wait pcie4 won't allow rising of an m.2 slot?
Thank goodness.It absolutely still supports that. It's just harder because the increased bandwidth means timings are more important. A short cable might work just fine, a long one will need signal repeater chips.
However the devices will still work regardless, it can just downspec to pcie gen 3. It's all backwards compatible.
I can comfirm that PCIe 4.0 and a riser cable will not work (current non 4.0 cables). I have the evolv shift and the riser cable will not run 4.0 period. I have to force the slot to run at 3.0 to use my PC.

Yes, the cable in the shift (the old one, it seems there is a new one out for the case) is not the best. Once you fold it over to a shape it has to stay that way, as I found out the hard way.I wouldn't say that means all cables are out, my wife had to force pcie 2 with the shift's cable to get her pc to boot. I think it's just a poor quality cable. I tried using it with my mb and gpu and it booted but at pcie 3 x8, I had to go to pcie 2 to get all 16 lanes to work.
worked with asrock rack folks directly as we are prototyping a new device and needed to validate a few metrics.Can you elaborate where you bought it? I have contacted a vendor but they said they wont have them in the states till end of september. At the moment I need one now for a server build.....
I have 2 different ES's and I want to test them. hope to see them starting up even if they are 'only' 20 cores gold 6138...ES/QS 28 core cpus go up for $800-1200 on ebay and this board costs $420, so the cpu+motherboard combo comes up to $1200-1600...
