Based on the diagram, the 16 processor pcie lanes can be divided for different uses (like NVMe). But that motherboard uses all 16 for the x16 pcie slot. So, everything runs through the chipset. That was the point I was trying to make.
Basically, everything you will be using is sharing the...
Also, it looks like that motherboard has a full electrical 1x16 slot. So that means any NVMe drive that you might be using is going to be connected thru the chipset.
Ahh... That was just a one of their examples screenshots, not my system. The "one row" comment threw me off. Just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing.
Here's a generic block diagram for the Z490 chipset.
All USB ports are attached to the Chipset. None directly...
Weird. Never seen one like this. Maybe an Intel xhci side effect. Not sure I trust the details, but it says one controller which would imply shared bandwidth. Very hard to believe they are all on the same controller...
In that case, try USBTreeView from https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html
It should show you a tree with your different ports. You may have to move a device to different ports to see whats attached to what.
You may want to research your hardware further. Bandwidth for non-processor attached USB ports will likely be shared at the hub / chipset level. At the processor level, I'm not sure. They are probably independent, but you would have to check the processor specification to be sure. At the...
Great. I hope it works out for you.
My experience with USB is that there is still a certain amount of issues that cause devices to disconnect at times or take other measures to resolve. I experience 1 or 2 per month with various devices. It's a personal preference / bias on my part. If it...
Guilty as charged. The group today had been re-labled... Somebody in Texas did not get theirs. :)
I actually figured that some or all would get canceled. That's my typical experience with CDW B-Stock. All of these were still sealed in the original packaging.
Yeah, I was hoping to see some...
Yeah, 11 yesterday and 5 today. First 256GB is running memtest in a X10SRA-F right now. The X10SRA-F has little to no memory control, so they are not even being pushed. Just a burn in test.
Memory IC's are virtually unmarked. No branding on the ICs. Only IC marking is 10-1706-33-BA-XE...
Yeah, I'd be surprised if the onboard m.2 were at issue. Manual states:
"The U.2_1 slot shares bandwidth with M.2_2, U.2_2 slot shares bandwidth
with M.2_3. When M.2_2 slot is being populated, U.2_1 slot will be disabled.
When M.2_3 slot is being populated, U.2_2 slot will be disabled."...
They are there. They can be incredibly small. I've never seen an adapter cable without one (even if they are within the injection molded plastic). SATA and USB use different signaling protocols and are not directly compatible. USB-C does have alternate signalling support in the...
Indeed. It does not even look like the M.2 card would fit with nothing plugged in.
What you are trying to do via USB is going to add more points of failure regardless (i.e. USB <-> SATA converter will be required for each drive).
Given the concerns with points of failure... I think your best...
Hard to tell from the pictures, but would these work with that M.2.
How much vertical space to you have between the top of the M.2 SATA and your heatsink? These are very short and have a super flat cable.
I've used both when building in tight setups.
Have you considered a SATA port multiplier? Something like this.
SATA bandwidth would be shared across the drives depending on what's being accessed at the same time. So, it might not work depending on what you are doing.
Also, link is not a recommendation. Just an example of the tech.
Nice build! Kind of insane. Thanks for posting the details.
Depending on your needs, you could change out the GPU for a Quadro RTX A4000. It's a single slot card and give you room for one more hyper card.
The only SATA drives I'm using are a couple BluRay drives. I think I have them...
Interesting...
I have both that board and I've run a couple of those cards at the same time. Each PCIe slot can be configured for what ASUS refers to as RAID mode (which is basically 4x4 bifurcation). It does not RAID the drives (kind of misleading given the name of the setting). There are...
I got a couple in on the last deal from Western Digital direct. They were professionally packaged. The 2 drives were shipped in a sturdy cardboard box with a Styrofoam insert that would hold 20 drives. The 2 drives were placed at opposite ends, diagonally to balance the weight. One the best...
Hmm... That's a tough one.
How remote is your cabin? If the population is low in the area, you might be OK waiting. But there is a risk. Geographical areas are pretty big and the number of people they allow to get service in an area is low.
The problem with canceling service and then...
Thanks. Yeah, I've been very careful not to move the location. I was originally mid / late 2021, but got bumped to mid 2022 when they updated everyone late last year. New signups in my areas are showing 2023...
FYI, for those that are still waiting. They've changed their order handling...
Congratulations on getting a kit. (y) What part of south Georgia?
I'm in Middle GA (Macon / Warner Robins) area. Pre-Order placed on Feb 11th, 2021 and have an updated ETA of mid 2022. :(
Which modem do you have? I think you can disconnect the battery in the Trashcan model. You may have to take it apart to do that. The ony trick is to remove the SIM card slot first. There are videos on youtube that will some you how.
The battery on that model is useless on that model anyway...
Newegg Still has them for $169, but no Associate Code discount.

I'm guessing we are in for a longer wait.:(:cry::(

Also, I received the T-Mobile Home Internet device. Shipped earlier than the estimated September. It's a refurb...
A definite possibility. In one interview, Elon indicated the dishes were costing something like $1000 each. With them offering beta participates equipment at $500 each, they could well be limiting the supply until they can make them cheaper. Not to mention the chip shortage is surely...
You may want to research that further. I've seen reports of Starlink not allowing transfers...
They are also working on a new version of the dish that is supose to reduce cost. The current dish also has a relatively low upper temperature limit that causes thermal shutdown outages in some areas.
I've seen report of work arounds. Seems like a few people are reporting success with IP V6. I was thinking of trying to use a VPN service with assignable public IP / Ports. I currently do that behind a cellular connection with the same type of network restrictions as Starlink. But not really...
That actually sounds pretty good. What part of the country are you in? City or Rural area?
I'm signed up, but waiting on a modem. I honestly am not expecting great service. T-Mobile in this area has always been poor performance. But you never know.
For those interested in more information I suggest the following sites:
More information: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/
Coverage Tracker: https://starlink.sx/
I'm in central GA and still waiting, too. However, the coverage in this area has improved dramatically in the last month...
Keep in mind what the shade panels are made of will make a huge difference in whether how much of the signal will be blocked, if any. The front of the dish has some type of plastic covering the transceivers. That material or a similar material could likely be used to shade the sun while having...
I guess someone will come out with a water cooling kit. Surprised Musk has not already done it and started using it to advertise StarLink as so fast that it requires advanced cooling.
Try using a rubber band between the screw head and the screw driver tip. Sometimes, that will give you just enough grip to get the screw out on last lime.
Stats: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/wiki/index/deployment-status
Not counting this launch: 1553 Launched. 1493 Serviceable. 904 On Station
Looking for to them starting service in GA, soon... I hope.
Here's another site I stumbled across. It shows approximate network availability for each cell. Clicking on a cell will display details.
It looks like the Well World. I wonder if Musk is a Markovian...
Also, I saw that a few invites went out in the NC area.
EDIT: Looks like this site is no...
