Does it exist?

[Sillyballs]

Ok. Hey guys. I'm kinda new at all this computer stuff. I used to be into it when I was a kid but it's completely different now. 

 

I guess I'm trying to do something that's not possible? 

 

Here's the build... 

Ryzen 2700x 

Asus Crosshair VII Hero wifi

2x Samsung 970 Evo 500gb in raid 0

2x Asus Strix 1080 (shooting for sli) 

16gb G.Skill rgb ram

Allllllllllll kinds of rgb

 

So I'm seeing there's an issue with running raid 0 and sli together. Not enough pcie lanes. One nvme pulls from the 16x slot. I get all that.

 

I'm really looking to see if there is a chipset that supports raid 0 and sli. I know the risks of raid 0. No need to beat a dead horse.

@Sillyballs

what are you expecting out of the raid 0 performance? just wanna make sure

raid0 on M.2 SSD's is for all but the biggest data troughput completely and utterly useless.

 

to draw a point of how much within margin of error you're getting..

at the office i often have to clean install systems based on either spinning rust, or a standard sata SSD.

the HDD boxes take maybe an hour or so to get trough all the driver installs and windows updates, the sata SSD boxes take about 30 minutes or so..

 

then every so often.. i have to reinstall M.2 SSD boxes.. and they take about 10 minutes... most of which is time i need to click buttons. there is no performance left to gain if even the most storage intensive tasks are bottlenecked by the speed you can press buttons at.

Press faster, EZ

i challenge you to press faster than keyboard shortcutting yourself trough an install procedure completely on muscle memory.

X99 or X299 would work, but why would you need raid 0? It looks like a gaming rig, which wouldn't benefit in any meaningful way from those drive speeds.

Can SLI run on X8 and X4?

 

With SLI and RAID you'd be running X8 and X4 on the GPUs and X4 and X4 on the drives.

I think SLI requires X8 minimum, while crossfire supports X4.

 

That board might allow one of the drives to run off of PCH for SLI + raid0 but honestly not worth the hassle to raid0 NVMe drives as previously stated; the performance gains are only noticeable by metahumans.

Just get the 1TB nvme drive. Other than the benchmarks you'll not see a difference as M.2 is crazy fast on its own.

It'll be a gaming rig and rendering rig. And honestly I seen raid 0 on YouTube and I thought what the heck. I'll try it. Took forever to get it to work. 

 

I have 5tb in this system, the nvmes, 860 Evo ssd and a 3tb Toshiba p300. I got alot of this stuff on black Friday deals. A 970 Evo 500gb for 100 bucks? I'll take two. That's pretty much how it all started. I've thought about selling the drives and getting a tb version. I might just end up doing that. Anyone interested in buying?

I'll buy both for $150.

Sli often runs worse than running one of the same card alone. It is not supported much anymore. I would sell both cards and run a single 2080ti if you need ALL the FPSs.

I got both cards under 400 each. Can't touch a 2080ti for that

I appreciate the effort. You get an A for the day lol

Better yet how about two Samsung 970s?

If someone wants to give me 200 for both or 100 each I'd be happy with that

If you want to sell them on this site, there's a classifieds subforum where you can make a post. Keep in mind current amazon pricing is $118 so for them to sell privately, even if just opened package, may be tough at $100US ea.

Can't post a classified until I have at least 100 posts

Probably not

Try the eBay.  Some folks shop there exclusively so you'll see large vendors charge different prices there then what's on their website.  I know Newegg does it.
