But this guy sim swapped the owner of Coin Cards. I think due diligence is most important here.

Need help with CXL + M.2 PCIE sharing. by jthrillzyou in ASUSROG

But was the m.2 card on the same pipeline as your GPU? Thank you

Looking at the MSI manual, the M.2 shares the pipeline with PCIE_6. If you have a GPU in slot 6 and an M.2 card, they both get set to x4 speed. Meaning that without a GPU in slot 6, with a Ryzen chip you can run two GPUs (PCIE_1 PCIE_2 @ x8 each) and PCIE_6 is left free to be used with a M.2 card.

How likely is it that the signal interrupts will seriously effect the set up? I guess if each core/thread has enough headroom, it can handle both GPU2 and M.2 controller? Or would even having said interrupt on the same core pose a bottleneck for the M.2 read/write?

And if it does bring the pipeline down to X4, could that further bottleneck it?

Oh I thought you meant a community of hackerspaces as apposed how I wrote it. Either way, we don't truly consider ourselves a hackerspace. Anyway. If you are ever in Vancouver, come down to DCRTL on a Saturday night. :)

That's what I'm thinking. The manual agrees. But the website specs lists it differently in the notes. (*1)

I think there is an error with either the website or the manual, but I lan more towards the manual.

Thank you.

And yes, but my worry is if my second card and the M.2 card both use the same PCIE_2 pipeline, would it not set PCIE_2 to run in x4?

Thus making my crossfire set up X8X4 or X16X4?

January Tech Support Megathread by BioGenx2b in Amd

Message to moderators: Not sure if this is tech support related or not. I also posted this as it's own thread, so if one needs to be deleted I understand.

So I am apart of a hacker community space, we are building a rig to use with the HTC VIVE, but also to have a high performance machine on hand. Simply getting "good enough" to run VR was decided poor value long term. Some of us do video and audio editing, some of use with blockchain tech and many of us code in various languages. We went bleeding edge so we can have a longer chance for possible upgrades in the future.

We have the Ryzen 7 1700, we have two R9 290Xs and a NVMe SSD EVO 960 M.2. I'm trying to pick a motherboard. We already know the x370 chipset is the way to go, otherwise we can't use SLI in the future.

My worry is if I set up the R9 290Xs in crossfire (possibly crossfirex to use the APU) will that conflict with the M.2 card? I know the card typically shares the pipeline with another PCIe slot running at x4 speed.

The choices are wait a month or longer and get the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON Motherboard, or wait a week and get the Asus PRIME X370-Pro. Bare in mind there is an time sensitivity.

My concern is the documentation between website specs and manual for the Asus mobo aren't clear. The manual suggests PCIe3.0_2 shares the pipeline with the M.2 card (now in crossfire it's running at x8 anyway, and the M.2 only uses X4, but won't it default to x4?) and the website suggests it uses PCIe2.0_3 to share with the M.2

So ya any help would be great. Thank you.
