It’s the Gigabyte AIC 4x M.2 raid card - trick I learnt from thesmokingman in his build which is many time more awesome! 👍

thanks for sharing this is my own setup - the AIC is without its original shrouding, just attached the cobber heat sink

I'll second the dust, but i haven't any of the other issues. yes, they are heavy but they are not for lifting ;-) for sitting! ;-)

sitting in one now, and have been since 2012! getting a new gas lift for it next month! Would buy one again, if not this one, then a HAG! go look it up Henrik

because most people in IT are not as clever as they should be!

well, I haven't been using my workstation since the weekend, then I started this thread. Tonight (Australian Eastern Time) it boots with the latest beta bios F4q - go figure!

Thanks everyone great feedback - I’ll have to look at this a bit further over the weekend. where I can take my time. Will check for the bios switch, but don’t recall one at first glance. The problem with flashing both bios, is if the bios isn’t stable, which was also pointed out above. maybe...

I second the Noctua D15 (s) used it on 3900x

Thanks that is very interesting I have been looking if I can select one or the other bios but so far no luck. maybe as I have a steady bios. I update both and then go one step forward, one bios update at the time. yes I am using the XMP too maybe it is the battery? thanks for your reply...

thanks 🙏 I am curious if there are other people with similar issues or if what I am experiencing is an isolated incident. thanks for taking the time happy 4th July

Hi Guys and Gals, - Esteemed and somewhat at times unlucky owners of TRX40 motherboards Have you had any or other issues with your motherboard bios see the poll! <if you think there should be other options please let me know> I have had some issues, where the bios resets, where the bios have...

Looks impressive

Congrats. tell me again you have the Gigabyte AIC adaptor working with all four drives on a X570 board? how did you manage to allocate the 4x4x4x4 to the AIC card? and 8x to the GPU? I tried on two MSI boards x570 and had no luck - then went over to Threadripper looking great! Congrats! Henrik

after a while it goes, probably shouldn't but I don't have room for it The Define 7 XL is sitting outside for recycle paper and boxes

thanks for sharing that link! Henrik

Better late than never!

Hi Tony thanks for sharing I can understand all the financial reasons behind this. But sometimes you “the manufacturer” need to go out there and show off what you can do! Create some excitement! At the moment we have plastic tin boxes with lots of flashing lights. Which is probably great for...

I like a big case my old LIAN LI V2120B with my EVGA SR-2 Super Record Classified Sorry it’s a bit side ways and very messy

There is a 8x NVME card out there, I think high-point

ng4ever how many drives are you thinking of using? if you want redundancy then you need to look at a different raid setup that is a NO to your question above. You need to start over again if you pull a disk/drive describe your intended setup or what gear you have to play with

Been running RAID-0 for a decade or so, with up to 12 SSD (3 raid-0 28 disks) drives both OS and data storage as well as scratch disks. currently use 2x NVME boot disk and 4 NVME for storage. is there a risk of failure, hell yeah, has it happened yes a couple of times, sir! Is it worth it? to...

Look up DAM Digital Asset Management there is unfortunately not that great offerings available anymore. however regardless of what applications you use. I would always keep a folder structure a bit like what is described above by MN Scout use year, month and day with a description this way...

This is from Alphacool and it’s a rough guide only - info is from https://forum.alphacool.com/threads/is-there-a-calculator-to-work-out-how-much-radiator-you-need-to-cool-280w-tpd.1525/ But there is a simple rule you can follow 80W TDP per 120mm radiator space with 600rpm fans 100W TDP per...

I would go for the larger units if $$$ isn’t an issue corsair, evga would also have some contenders good luck - ohh by the way, are you planning to have anything else in terms of PCIE cards? You only have 24-lanes on the chipset and CPU series, you need to look at Threadripper if you want more...

Nice Work on the graphics, Tell us why you do not like Windows 10 - you may have a very valid reason, in the end you choose what OS you want to use. not liking or liking is your choice - expect people to have a difference in opinion. You may have a very different level of expertise and experience?

Late to the party here, looking at the OP, with 1000’s messages and many years spent here I am a little surprised to hear that Windows 10 is the worst MS OS ever. all the OS’s have some issues, in particular if you stray of the mainstream equipment list, one reason is a lot easier to deal with...

Wow - we are out punching here today ! Too much cordial? Probably not helpful! OP Threadripper ,it might work or it might work out of the box but would you even entertain this in a commercial space with no support for the OS etc...and newer technologies since the inception of Win7 could you...

Hmm, in my old box I had 8x Samsung 128gb 830’s 12x intel 120gb 520’s 8x HDD 2TB current system (all gen 4) 2x 1Tb seagate 520 NVME 4X 2Tb Phison 2TB (Gigabyte, Corsair Mp600, PNY) room for 6 more NVME (y)

What is it you want to achieve? Apart from not upgrading for 5 years? i built the below to last me 10 years with the odd upgrade here and there ;) faster cpu, more cores, faster GPU, more ram, bigger and faster hard drive(s) but other then that keep it as is

IceCaveMan exciting project! what is your budget and timeline? No point in dreaming about something that isn’t available within your timeframe. apologise but you seem confused about what you want/need (no offence intended). Perhaps specify what you want to archive with your setup compared to...

I agree with those who have stepped up to the Threadripper platform due to the extra pcie lanes, until I start to do rendering the CPU isn’t the key to this. Hopefully in years to come the 64 core will drop as my need goes up. sure it would have been nice to have had a lower price entry point...

He is the pray 😉

How fast are those fan running? What size? 👍

Happy years to you all and thanks for your help. Really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

paradoxical please feel free to add any topic that can help others or where you need help to get the most out of your system. Cooling is just one aspect of this 😉 show us a photo of your setup, sounds like a beast

What is the likelihood that a CPU fails and of that percentage, how many Threadripper?

That makes no logical sense given many of us are running without issues (knock on wood 🪵) I would like to think that it is the odd one out that shows rear it’s head here every now and then But we all look to learn from it and share our collective knowledge to help h

I’ll check mine tomorrow and let you know on a Gigabyte Trx40 Designare

It’s beautiful 🤩

always happy to cheer up Taco ;-) Merry Xmas
