Good Day Linus, Luke and excellent people who excellently read this excellent sentence! So I was watching the Wan Show the other day and heard Linus saying something about it taking a long time to catch up with tech for their new Labs website. It would be hard to get information on old tech and to include this in their new system would take quite a while. But I believe there is a place where allot of this information exists, where there has been consistent integrity and perhaps a style of working that LTT would align with. Now I have never gone to the forums here before today because of tweakers.net. Though Tweakers is owned by a media company I bet that for Luke and other people working on the LABS project taking over such a company could open doors they would have to spent years to open otherwise. There is allot of knowledge here and I think there are a few ways this could completely change LTT for the future. Tweakers is my main site to look into when needing any details on products, when I need parts for projects or even when I find a roadblock on one of them. If you’d be owner of both LTT and of Tweakers (which is situated in The Netherlands), you’d have a base of operations near the biggest port to Europe and if you work from that the future is endlessly interesting. Of course I am completely wish casting here and probably stupid for thinking this but the idea of having an ally overseas could create options not seen before. I suspect being owner of both without combining them could be more interesting for tax issues but I have no idea, I run a tiny company. So to Linus, Luke and other excellent people I say; Yo buy some European media outlets and embrace in excellent excellence! With high hopes and in great suspense, Harrie NoPro

I need some serious help and guidance here. What I fundamentally want to do, is add an in-desk USB Hub (like a grommet) to expand my USB capabilities on my Desktop. I have a finite of USB ports (2x 2.0 - these are for Keyboard and Mouse), 2x 3.2 Gen 1 and 2x 3.2 Gen 2) ports on my MB but I need more. I am studying my degree in digital media, and aside from the keyboard and mouse, I have a: C922 Pro Webcam, Desktop Light, Boom Mic, Wacom Graphic Tablet, Brother printer and a Headset that I need to run simultaneously. I don't recall the LTT guys ever running a segment on hardware like this, but if they have PLEASE direct me to that!!! The obvious answer would be to use the ones on the front, HOWEVER, I wish to refrain from having too many cables in the front of my tower, as you could understand. Can anyone help me here and direct to what I could get for something like this? Issues: - Don't care if it sits on Desktop, Mounted or otherwise - I live in Australia, so please do not suggest places in the US that I cannot access. I am looking for products not store locations. - Specifically looking for something that isn't bulky Specifications: (GPU in process of Upgrade) Component Selection CPU AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor CPU Cooler Cooler Master A71C 38.99 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Storage Gigabyte GP-GSTFS31240GNTD 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive GPU ASUS RX580 8GB Case Thermaltake Versa H17 MicroATX Mini Tower Case Power Supply Corsair RM750 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit

I've been looking into expanding my storage solution, and I eventually settled on buying a PCIe expansion card that allows the installation of up to four M.2 drives. Something like the ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 PCIe 4.0 X4 Expansion Card. However, I am confused about the actual effects of installing this kind of card. I intend to install this card in an 8x slot (below the 16x slot used for the GPU) as that will provide more than enough bandwidth for my needs, but some sources are telling me that this will drop the speed of the 16x slot. Is this true? Having the two competing for bandwidth shouldn't be an issue, as they will rarely be under load at the same time, but if the speed of the slot will be dropped from 16x to 8x, that will cause problems. I have just learned about PCIe bifurcation, where a 16x lane is split into four 4x lanes. Again, 4x should be more than enough for my needs, but it seems that not all boards support this feature. Does anyone know if the Gigabyte Designare Z390 supports it? I believe that to be the case, but I can't find anything about it on the manual or on the website. I do have two M.2 slots on the motherboard that I have yet to populate, but I was told that populating them will disable three of the six SATA ports on the board. Is this correct? Basically, I want to transition away from hard drives and populate the PC entirely with NVMEs, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how that's going to function and where the available bandwidth will be going.

Its pretty common for laptops to have usb c ports that with hubs/dock be split off to HDMI, ethernet, several usb, etc. Can the same be said for usb c ports from a computer's motherboard/usb c pcie expansion? What do I need to look for in pcie expansion cards to have that capability? I'm in a situation where I need to constantly move my pc between my Living room for and my room fairly frequently until I can save up for a dedicated pc in the living room. I think having a usb c hub ready in my room already setup to my drawing monitor/monitor/keyboard will save me a lot of time fumbling with ports and shit.

Budget (including currency): No more than $500 USD if possible Country: United States of Baseball and Hotdogs Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Plex Home Media Server, Samba Linux Storage Other details: Just hoping for suggestions :3 Already have 100TB NAS i built, but all the drives are attached directly to the motherboard sata ports with zero parity for my files and uh...yea I don't think I need to tell you how bad of a thing that is. Looking to go with a raid controller that's reliable and to setup a raid config that will give me a bit more peace of mind in terms of my storage. Thanks :3

Hi There, Lately I got an old Intel palr s5000. As it says on the website intelark.com The motherboard has an pcie 16 slot. But now I am looking on the product ( laying right in front of me ) and only see a " full height riser " . My first question is : what is the riser for ? And secondly: Is there any option to mount a gpu in the slot ? ( apologize for my bad English , I'm from Germany)

Hi There, I recently got an old Intel palr s5000 motherboard. My plan was to use it as the platform for my next gaming PC. ( I know servers are loud and so on. And there are no affordable e atx cases , so I build one by myself. ) My problem though is , that the board doesn't have a pcie X16 slot, but a full height riser slot. Is there any way to " change" the slot , so that I can put a graphics card into it ?

Hi There, I got a little of a problem. I got an old Intel s5000 palr motherboard. It is capable of providing one pcie X16 expansion slot since it has one full height riser . But I can't find a riser card ,that you could put into the full height riser and that then supplies a pcie slot.( for example for a gpu )

Okay, so a while ago I was watching a video of a custom loop pc and saw something that got me really interested. I think it was JPModified but cannot find a video of it on his channel. I saw that they were using a Corsair h100i v2 for the cpu block, with hardline assumed PETG tubing. Does anyone know how this was done? I’m not looking to expand a Corsair h100i, the pump is definitely not strong enough I’m solely interested in using the cold plate with some PETG connected to the rest of my own loop.

Hello! I made this thread because I want to know what people put in their PCIe expansioin slots for. I guess most people will only use their PCIe lanes for a graphics card or maybe a PCIe based SSD. But let's see. And what is the strangest PCIe device you have seen?

I currently have 4 drives 2tb each in raidz1 and want to expand it with 4 more 2tb drives. Im using FreeNAS 11.2 and have no idea how to do it. I've heard that adding it will only stripe them so I can only lose one drive but I've also heard it would make 2 raidz1 combined in raid0 for a raid 50 allowing me to lose 2 drives (one per raidz1). Anyone have any idea how to do this. I'd like to avoid making a whole now pool and reassigning all 3 users and windows VM.

Last week I purchased a pre-used PC with decent looking specs, with the intention of upgrading it and using it for light gaming, video editing and livestreaming. While attempting to install a low profile graphics card, I discovered that none of the PCI slots lined up with the ones on the case. I am not sure whether getting a new case would fix the problem (which I was going to do after the upgrades). The motherboard is an ASRock FM2A68M-HD+, and the case is some filthy old Cooler Master case, if it helps. I just thought I'd come here for help before I bought a new case.

Hi, so, I'm thinking of building a NAS with at least 40 terabytes worth of drive (Storage of footage). I plan on using freenas or openmediavault, with a pentium, a super micro motherboard, 64 gb of ram, and a 240 gb boot drive in raid 0/1. I am not sure on how it would format if I decided to add drives, so can someone please explain to me the process? That would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running a Dell Precision T3600 and it's motherboard, according to this: https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln290703/the-hardware-specifications-for-the-precision-t3600-desktop-workstation?lang=en#Chipset , only supports SATA 2.0. The problem is that I want to add an SSD to my system, but this will terribly bottleneck it. The only solution I can think of is to add an expansion card for SATA 3.0, but I don't even know if that would work if the motherboard chipset itself wouldn't support that. Anyone know what to do?

Asus Rampage VI Extreme, 16GB ram, 7900X, 2x 1080 TI, Thunderbolt 3 card, 3x 960 EVO. With my SDDs and graphics card I still have 4x pcie lanes for my CPU. I was wondering what else I could put there. I have a separate FTP/Plex/Capture/Streaming server so not interested in capture card and I have an external DAC/AMP so soundcard not needed. The best I could figure is a 4x NVME card but not really needed with my fast ssds not and a FTP server linked a 10Gbps. Parallel port not needed, I have a usb to gameport adapter. Is there anything else I could use it for? Just curious.

Hello Forum, I am debating between the two cases in the picture. One is an Antec that is fairly old and the other is a Smiths 2014 original. The one on the left offers better air flow and dust protection (plus some sick LEDs) while the smiths offers the ability for external cooling (such as placing on top of an AC). The smiths offer housing for 2 power supplies, up to 30 HDDs and the ability to fill all expansion slots while the Antec seems to limit me. Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you, -CancelShredWasted Ps also debating a Dell Dimension XPS266 it is the best looking but will require the most modification

~ Topic Introduction ~ Quite recently, I've been running into a few audio issues, and it's been bothering me. Probably doesn't help I use 2 sound systems for the same audio stream, but regardless. I've been interested in buying a PCIe x1 sound card to fix some of those issues, and have a bit more flexibility in general, like actually having a TOSLINK-in port. But the main thing I'm wondering about, is how many "lanes" am I using on my CPU currently? I'm not a computer genius, so I'm not sure. ~ Currently Installed Parts ~ I've been called 'strange' for the parts I use, but here's some of them, in which I would assume uses PCIe lanes. - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Aero GB OC (PCIe 3.0 x16) - AverMedia Live Gamer Lite HD (PCIe 3.0 x1) - Samsung 960 EVO NVMe SSD (M.2) - Western Digital M.2 SATA SSD (M.2) - X299 Chipset From what I heard, Samsung's 960 EVO and PRO series NVMe SSD runs on a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface through the M.2 slot, if I'm not mistaken. I'd assume I use 21 PCIe lanes or something, but I can't tell for sure. Kind of feel like an idiot for thinking I use that much, but I honestly have no idea. ;w; ~ Comments ~ So I'm asking you, the community. How many PCIe lanes am I using? Because, again, I have no idea. Realizing I may or may not sound like an idiot for posting this, I felt like asking regardless. If anyone has an idea, or even know, please inform me. ~ Recap ~ Please don't approach me with a wall of text just because this post is related to a sound card, in 2018. >-< I'm mostly concerned about my PCIe lane usage, based off from what I currently use. Thanks in advance for those who understand. ^^;
