5:24 one of the most irritating things about consumer platforms is certainly the lack of pcie expandability. I have ranted about this SOOOO many times and will continue to beat the drum on this one until somebody listens. the "high end" consumer platforms give you just enough pcie to do either 16x/0x/4x (with the 4x shared by one of the m.2 slots) OR 8x/8x/4x (again with the 4x being shared by one of the 3 m.2 slots - and the m.2 connectivity only one of the m.2 slots goes directly to the cpu, one of them is shared with the 4x slot as previously stated, and one of them is shared with the chipset sharing bandwidth with all the usb4 and onboard networking and sound and all that other stuff that's easy to cause bottlenecks if you use lots of networking at the same time (particularly with 10g networking)... it's difficult to find 10g onboard networking (there are only a few boards that have it), it's hard to drop 10g or higher networking in a system because you either halve the lanes to your gpu or you share your high speed networking (and only 4 lanes of it) with your high speed storage potentially causing bottlenecks there too. there needs to be some kind of middle ground, an enthusiast level chipset design that gives us something like 40-50ish pcie lanes but uses the latest performant cores (i.e. gets released with the rest of the ryzen line when it comes out instead of a year later like threadripper), but uses a limited number of cores (maxing at 16 or 24 would be great for a mid-way platform. perhaps also giving us 4 memory channels so we can stop doing the 2 dimms per channel thing that seems to be plaguing modern imc's everywhere.) threadripper non-pro COULD have been this, but they made it wildly expensive, and uses what will be previous genreation cores in just a couple of months that are generally slower than their ryzen9 counterparts. threadripper pro is right where it should be as a top end workstation build with loads of cores, 8 memory channels, etc. and it's ok that it runs a year behind, but threadripper should be that intermediate mark (it's got the 64 pcie lanes which is gresat, it's got the 4 memory channels which is great, but the cores are too slow for lightly threaded workloads like multimedia production and game development, and most of us don't need more than 24 full fat zen5 cores at the time to be an enthusiast fast "low end" workstation / top end consumer product.

Something exactly like what you're describing would be my ideal system for both my main pc and home server. Both use several pcie cards for different purposes and I would love to be able to have a vm or two with a seperate gpu in my main pc. really something like x79 but with modern ryzen cores would be fantastic

There isn't a huge hit going from x16 GPU to x8 GPU lanes (puget systems says ~1%). The largest problem is that most people who want tons of PCIE slots are trying to use devices that can't keep up with the networking anyway. Here we have SN770s that drop to ~500 mbps after 150 seconds or so. That is the speed of one sata ssd. Once you start talking SFP28 and QSFP28 network cards you need expensive big boy storage (and RAM/CPU) to push it on both ends. A single Samsung PM1735 Gen4 U.2 drive can write about ~3800MBps and even that is not easy to do over a network to windows running smb. The problem is that you need 20+ cheap dram-less consumer M.2 drives to do what only a few expensive Enterprise U.2 drives can do. In my opinion the big benefit of a platform like this is both memory size and memory bandwidth. Many AM5 boards have 2x 5.0 storage 4x off the CPU. I can hook two enterprise U.2 drives and a PCIE 8X 4.0 nic easily. The problem is it has to make a ton of sacrifices to run more than 96GB of ram and it has a ton less memory bandwidth vs this threadripper.

@@elikirkwood4580 the problem is that most of the time that you start using all these PCIe devices you actually need more memory bandwidth too. If you want to run multiple GPUs and VMs it really sounds like you need a real dual CPU server and not a 7950x. You can build Epyc Genoa or W2400 Xeon but it won't be as cheap as building AM5 or LGA1700 because of the RAM costs alone.

I avoid consumer machines except where I can't avoid it like a thin client for the desktop to drive monitors and my laptop for trips. My compute nodes and data storage are always older high-end servers with ECC RAM. Consumer grade processors generally have inferior memory performance due to fewer RAM channels. Consumer machines do outperform servers (for the same age machines) for one or few CPU cores being utilized.

Isn't the change to the fan "hub" related to the fact that it's a simple hub that plugs directly into a fan header instead of requiring a sata power plug? Limiting it to 4 fans on 1 connector does seem to be a safe bet to not overload the fan connector. And also, no motherboard with less than 4 fan headers should be used with a case like this anyway.
@jttech44
@jttech44 9 ай бұрын
Depends on the fans. Usually you can get 1A @ 12v from a single connector. Fine for most fans, not fine for server grade delta/sanace fans. The bigger thing is the lack of control you have while using fan hubs. I can see running your front fans on a hub, they should be at the same speed anyway, but, being able to ensure positive pressure is important for dust prevention, and if all your fans are on a hub, the best you can do is to size your fans such that you have more intake than exhaust.

in your "PCIe lanes" rant (totally agree btw!) what do you think about Motherboards Manufacturers converting PCIe gen 4/5 lanes down to PCIe gen3 for the slower cards that don't really need gen4/5 speeds? (i.e. 2x gen5 lanes = 8x gen3 or 4x gen4 = 8x gen3)

@isghj5 9 ай бұрын
Wouldn't you need silicon equivalent of a chipset to maintain the bandwidth? Each lane is direct pins/traces to the CPU, you can't just double it without A) a logic chip that can break the route the signal and B) a way to re-signal into two directions (and gen3 had different signal behavior right? you can drive it further through a riser?) except a chipset is only 4 lanes of upstream, so four chipsets? (or does something like this already exist as a product?)

I agree with your PCIE position but I have to wonder: Why can I not find any diy motherboards with hardcoded 8/8+4 or 8/4/4 bifurcation? I've heard Bifurcation is expensive in boards today because the PCIE switch chips for gen5 are expensive, but what if it wasn't switched? Why can I not find a single mATX/ATX+ board on the market that splits out the 16 lanes? Sure, gamers want 16 lanes, but there are loads of cards on the market that done even come with 16 lanes now, there has to be a market for this. Are Intel and AMD requiring the 16 lane slot in the purchase contract?

Very interesting video. And I fully agree, man how I wish there was more PCI expandability for consumer platforms. I just put together a (virtualized) "storage server" out of consumer hardware, using IT-mode SAS HBA and SAS expander, GPU passthrough, quad 2.5Gb NIC and NVMe and while I got it to work, it was a huge pain to find a working, stable config within the limits of the PCI lanes, chipset and motherboard Oh, just FYI if anyone is looking at that case, the Fractal Design Define 7 XL has 16 x 3.5" slots if you buy the trays for it, not 14 and it can fit even more than that. 16 with just default mounting spots and one or more additional with converter trays for the 120mm fan mounts. It also has 2 x 5.25" bays you could convert to 2 x 3.5" or 3 x 3.5" bays with something like an Icy Box 2 x 5.25" to 2 x 3.5" or 3 x 3.5" conversion enclosure. Giving you a theoretical absolute maximum of 20 x 3.5" or 21 x 3.5" spots if you stack it to the brim or 16 x 3.5" to 19 x 3.5" spots without converting any 120mm fan mounts. I know because I chose that case specifically for that reason and have 16 slots occupied with 3.5" HDD's

And, if you want even more PCI-E and 8 memory channels, you gotta go Threadripper Pro. The TR (non-pro) would at least benefit from the extra memory channels at 64 cores, but I expect that AMD knows that would lead to product stack overlaps. As for the mainstream PCI-E lanes vs TR...yeah. I can also see the profit analysis -- three product tiers (aside from servers), each with double the memory channels, PCI-E lanes. Not sure how I feel about that. If we are getting proportional savings by these being salvaged higher-end parts that couldn't pass testing and AMD is doing us a favor by making them cheaper, cool beans...but I'm just not sure. The mainstream desktop market seems to be held back just a little more than is reasonable.

While you were talking about your choice of 4080 or 3090 I was thinking "Why not both?", but then I saw how big the 4080 is... You'd still be able to put the 3090 in that end slot though, and PCIe risers are a thing, that could make the 4.0x4 and 5.0x8 slots useable... It would make sense given your intent for virtualization experimentation. I don't know if something's changed in the last year but I was under the impression that nvidia keep their GPU virtualization tech for the headless server GPU's, so if you hack the firmware to use the server driver you loose the video outputs... and you have to use an older hacked driver in the VM as well. Multiple GPU's isn't hard, I've successfully had 3 GPU's on a basic 11th-gen intel mATX motherboard (2xAMD dGPU + intel iGPU) for 2 VM's + host using PCI passthrough.

If I were you I'd look at the 64 core Threadripper the way I'm looking at an eventual upgrade to the R9-5950 in my B450 based system: Do I need it? No, the 3900XT I currently have is fine Is it the best upgrade? Nah, a 5800X3D is probably better. Do I still want it? HELL YES. Purely for the decadence factor of having roughly a Gen 1 Threadripper's worth of power in an AM4 socket.

Hello! I want to check the temperature when this Noctua cooler is running at full capacity. I have a computer with a similar specification to you However, the cooler is using NZXT ELITE 360. This water cooler is not satisfactory because the temperature goes up to 95 degrees. Let me check the temperature of your 7980X.

why would you complain about PCIE expansion if your "4 SLOT" gpu blocks all the slots anyways????

So many lines, what do you call it Modern Art? Bleh! On a serious note, the video sold me on it more than the thumbnail: The XL is an up-sized North. Though I do think Fractal missed an opportunity by not adding vertical GPU support. Also, good to see those Terra's from the last ad being put to good use.

PCIE lanes... This seems malicious. We have PCIE gen 5 being pushed to consumers for no apparent reason, while limiting the slots to a single x16. Going to two x8 slots is useless to anyone who wants to put in gen 3/4 x16 cards. It would be much better to have 2 x16 gen 4 slots than one gen5. I'd be better disposed towards the motherboard makers if they stopped labelling slots by their x16 physcial shape and burying the connected lanes in the small print. So many boards are weird. What consumer wants 8 sata3 ports and a single x16 slot? Give me 3 or 4 PCIE x16 slots. Rip most things off the motherboard. I need a couple of USB 2 ports for mouse/keyboard, USB3.x for a hub and bluetooth audio, a 2.5G NIC to cover low to mid-range use-cases. Give me some audio ports. Everything else can go on expansion slots, where it belongs. It seems there is a fear that consumer boards will cannibalise the workstation/server market. STH noted that its difficult to drive signals a long way down the motherboard, in which case... put slots on the other side of the board? Also, is there anyone out there who would like a really cheap, ugly but high-airflow case with lots of storage bays? Maybe add an option for flexible ducting for venting the entire back/top of the case out of a cupboard?
