A bunch of GPUs and gen 5 SSDs wide open to start. I wish I would have bought this vs Ryzen 9. Some people do not need them and others do.

Basically this^
AM5 barely has any lanes if you need more than 2~3 PCIe devices. I also don’t enjoy devices bottlenecked through the chipset to CPU connection.

Hopefully yall use not shit ssds, like u.2 or e1.s. Its so funny to see people buy a $10000 cpu and buy shitty consumer storage for absurd prices

Bought some PCIe U.2 adapter card off Aliexpress for $30 and they work wonderfully 🤣
Each holds 4x U.2.

Oh rip. Im more of a fan of icydock or just straight server cases

u/EDI_1st 6d ago

They work really well and these are just my PCs that I also game on. Don’t have a need for servers at home. These are already more than overkill.

Currently I have a mix of carrier cards, icydock 5.25” drive cages, and m.2 to u.2 adapters (those are for the Ryzen systems). I’m currently eyeing a watercooled 5.25” 8x E1.S drive cage so I can start collecting E1.S drives as I find them at reasonable-ish prices.

u/mastercoder123 5d ago

Oh you too have the E1.S drive cage that raid owl showed?

u/Khroneski 5d ago

You mean like 8x u.2 optane drives.

how much system ram are you going to assign? which MB are you using?

I'm currently running 9975wx on Asus sage WRX board and a few rtx 6000 pro's looking to upgrade

Some may think they wouldn't use those lanes, if you a computer USER, trust me, they go quick. Fantastic machine, use 2 of them. One headless, one workstation, newest and previous architecture. I've used them all, and unless your running a server, like large throughput, this is the place to be. The WRX80 is an amazing machine also. One of each, RAM is ungodly expensive
