I think I will buy this. One question: on the amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FVVNDFX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&psc=1 I claims to have 2 Pci-express slots. However I see only one. Do you know what they are talking about? Slots: 2x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 Slots (one runs at x8)

Thanks. How do you know that it supports headless boot?

I need a different motherboard for my unraid server. (or maybe a cpu). My current one Non Negotiable Requirements: AM4 chipset (for Ryzen 1700) Less than 8 inches x 15 inches. (probably mini-itx/ mini-dtx) Must support headless boot. Ability to underclock and undervolt. support for 32 gigs of ddr4 ram. Wishlist: lots of sata ports for extra storage several pcie slots (while staying under 8 inches) not too expensive Other ideas: clever solutions with daughter boards and pcie expansion cards. no need for rgb, wifi, or unneeded bells and whistles. Components currently in use: MSI B450I Gaming plus ac (to be replaced) 32 gigs of trident z rgb royal ryzen 1700 cpu (no integrated graphics) gtx 1080 (will be moved to main pc for virtualization. Backstory if anyone cares. I have a pretty crazy setup already. Threadripper workstation, super ultra wide monitor, endless custom rgb nonsense, and all of the rest. custom built desks I made. The new unraid server is for media streaming, smart-home control, and hosting for my web development. Once the server runs beautifully, I will work on unraid virtualization on my main pc for epic halo lan parties. (3 gamers 1 cpu). After that comes liquid cooling and an epic video montage to show off this sexy build.

I guess I will have to buy a new motherboard or cpu then. Anybody interested in buying a ryzen 1700?

I am adding a separate mini-itx server inside my existing pc case. Unraid runs beautifully, but I need I need to remove the graphics card and run the server in headless mode. The cpu has no integrated graphics, and I need the pcie slot for either a sata expansion card or a 10 gig nic. I searched through the current bios and didn't see anything that would allow me to ignore errors on startup. Any suggestions? Components: AMD Ryzen 1700 (no onboard graphics) MSI B450 Gaming Plus AC GTX 1080 (which must be removed) Trident Z Royal 3600 (the most luxurious) A whole bunch of HDD's I want to attach later Once this is done, I will show this insane setup. For now, I just need to get it working.

Why is this $1199? DDR3 2*8GB 2133 MHz C11 Am I missing something?

That explains qvl. I got that, and it does work. I have no problem playing around in the bios. However, this leaves my original question unanswered. The promotional material advertises this ram as for Intel Z27 which I didn't notice at purchase. Does this mean anything important. Would it be worth getting RAM that advertises as AMD optimized such as this one which costs less and advertises as AMD optimized.

My memory certainly isn't on there. Nor is any 3600Mhz memory. Correct me if my following reasoning is faulty: According to the motherboard promotional website, the motherboard supports overclocking memory up to 3600Mhz. I heard that ThreadRipper prefers faster RAM. Does this mean that no 3600 Mhz memory is supported atm? If so, why is my machine running? If I plugged in 8 sticks of 8gb 3600Mhz memory, would it all be usable? Thanks for the quick reply btw

qvl?

Specs: Motherboard: Asus Prime X399-A CPU: Threadripper 2950x Current RAM: G.Skill DDR4 TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz for Intel Z270 So I would like to upgrade my new super sick threadripper pc with more of my existing RAM I was going to buy more ( I do have 6 memory slots unfilled) when I noticed... G.Skill 16GB DDR4 TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz PC4-28800 CL18 1.35V Dual Channel Kit (2x8GB) for Intel Z270 for Intel Z270... Why???? My question is this: How do I tell if this ram is optimized to work on my threadripper PC? I would like to overclock someday. I have the money and can return my existing RAM. Also, if you could pick any RAM that would be best for Threadripper 2950x, what would that be? Thanks in advance

Thank you very much. You guys are great. Is there a way to close this thread to indicate that the problem is solved?

Specs: Power Supply: Corsair RM850x Motherboard: Asus Prime X399-A CPU: Threadripper 2950x GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 My question concerns connecting the power supply to the motherboard optimally. This is my first build. I have not tested any components yet. I would like to set this up so that I can add additional GPU's in the future. Attached are images of relevant sockets and manual pages. The motherboard has 3 power connectors: 24 pin: EATXPWR 8 pin: EATX12V_1 4 pin: EATX12V_2 The corsair cables do split from 8 pin to 4 pin. I plugged them in, but 4 of the pins are not connected anywhere. My Questions: Should I connect to all three ports like I did? Are they all needed. If so, is it OK for the extra 4 pin connector to dangle like that? Does it matter where on the power supply I connect these? Thank you very much for your time.
