Did anyone managed to catch the der8auer video with the Threadripper and 8 NVME drives in raid?
It was doing 27GB, that's ramdisk speed, and beats some slow DDR4 ram also!!!!!
The video is down, because AMD hasn't made the driver public yet though. But can discussions about this can be found on the AMD reddit.

Thats impressive, i didn't see it, that driver was meant to be public yesterday... https://www.techpowerup.com/236644/amd-to-enable-nvme-raid-on-x399-threadripper-platform
Oh and no added value cost USB dongle from

And you do forget also that on the X299 platform, nvme raid is over the chipset which communicates CPU over the DMI 3.0 connection (pci-e 4x speed), and it's bandwidth is shared with all other devices (usb, lan) except the GPUs.
Lets hope nobody tries to run benchmarks comparing X299 to X399 on that aspect, might have many crying over the forum and call us cynical AMD fanboys.
(which myself clearly isn't).
Got my OCUK made 1950X build last week, but was travelling so just torture-tested it last night... it was me previously torture tested knowing that my new PC is already at home, but will be days until I can open the box...
So far very impressed, exactly what I expected - plus got lots of bonus Haribo, thanks

Anyone with a Zenith board: is there any way to link a fan curve to the graphics card temperature? All the other options (CPU, VRM etc) are there in the BIOS, but not the GFX card.
I got the MSI 1080 Ti Sea Hawk X, but it seems that AIO fan has to be connected to the mobo, and there is no way of controlling its speed other than what the motherboard offers.
So ideally, I'd like it to run the fan 50% most of the time, and ramp up from there, if ever needed.
Right now the only thing I could do is to link it to the CPU speed which works correctly and has a poor man's correlation to what I really need, but would be nice to control it correctly by the GPU temp instead.
I wouldn't mind if I had to use a program from Windows (10 Pro) to achieve the correct MB fan control effect though.
In other words, if MB fan control by graphics card temperature is really not available (rather than I just couldn't find it yet), is there a Windows program that could set any of the motherboard fans to a specific curve controlled by graphics card temperature?

Yes I caught it, super impressive performance numbers. Those Asus hyper cards running on 16 pcie lanes looked really sick loaded with 4 960 Pro's each
Thanks for the aquero tip, never heard of that one before! Can it controller the fans using graphics card temperature? How does that work? Software or purely hardware?

The performance is way off the scale we had up to now.
On the MSI Carbon & Asus Zenith can use 3 of those slots since they come with 4 16x, leaving one for the GPU. That means 12 NVME in Raid at full speed!!!!
(Gaming 7 has 2 16x it seems)
Up to few months ago, if someone wanted to do such things with that performance was impossible. Because even the Xeon servers, are PCI-E castrated.
Yup Aquaero software lets you control its fans hardware relative to any sensor its software picks up, or even other 3rd party software it has hooks into like AIDA64/HWInfo, so I use it for ramping up my Pump and fans based on load etc. but I think speed fan can do the same with your current hardware for free, it has been a while since I have used that though, so not sure.
All told you get a nice LCD and pages on Aquaero if that is your thing (I like it) but reckon you can probably do it on the ASUS as I am able to run my pump on the MSI board on the pump header and control it all through BIOS with some success but I don't like its software so as I have an Aquaero already I will use that. They do actually have cheaper none screen variantst.
You can also save start up defaults such that when software is not loaded it will run something other than 100% but again your board should do this.
Little vid on Aquearo fan curves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoTcxBbwd3w
The thing can do more than I use it for, perhaps a bit OTT for me and costly once you factor in splitters etc, but it's lovely when it all just works

It seems like its not straight forward (one you tuber commented that not only are Intel SSD's required but an additional dongle is also required to run raid ?)
Can see other youtubers running these cards with SSD's from Samsung but only on intel cpu's /chipsets so far.... (obviously still early days, so its still interesting none the less)
I was actually reading /watching about a similar dual card in a NAS box for SSD read/write cache (dual card only here though rather than quad)
I thought the Intel drive & key limitation was for intel's VROC, no such limits for Threadripper.

Correct.
Yes, and no, it brings the cost of this down massively compared to what it was before. I am currently working on a system moving from a Asus Z10PE-D8 WS (Dual socket X99 Xeon) where I was using a couple of these card fully populated.
http://amfeltec.com/products/pci-express-gen-3-carrier-board-for-4-m-2-ssd-modules/ There is also a couple of other cards on the market that do the same thing, Dell and HP both have their own versions as well.
My re-design is hopefully going to be a single EPYC or Threadripper CPU, using up to 12 drives per system which allow a huge cost saving on the CPU's, and a much smaller footprint for the overall system (less racks needed). The AMD solution is almost like a dream for this, especially with the integration of the RAID capability into the board and CPU package. I'm really hoping ASUS pull their finger out and and some EPYC TR4 boards, or Threadripper WS boards out soon, rather than later.

X99 supported 44pci-e lanes, except you had delegated your GPU to 8x only, burying it at the bottom slots, that could be possible only possible, otherwise the name drivers were working over 8x

Guru has the full article and video here. Sadly my ASUS Prime X399 still has not received a BIOS update so I may return this for the Zenith as the main point for me buying this platform the ability of RAIDing M2's.
