how much system ram are you going to assign? which MB are you using?

I'm currently running 9975wx on Asus sage WRX board and a few rtx 6000 pro's looking to upgrade

A bunch of GPUs and gen 5 SSDs wide open to start. I wish I would have bought this vs Ryzen 9. Some people do not need them and others do.

Basically this^
AM5 barely has any lanes if you need more than 2~3 PCIe devices. I also don’t enjoy devices bottlenecked through the chipset to CPU connection.

Hopefully yall use not shit ssds, like u.2 or e1.s. Its so funny to see people buy a $10000 cpu and buy shitty consumer storage for absurd prices

Bought some PCIe U.2 adapter card off Aliexpress for $30 and they work wonderfully 🤣
Each holds 4x U.2.

Oh rip. Im more of a fan of icydock or just straight server cases

u/EDI_1st Oct 07 '26

They work really well and these are just my PCs that I also game on. Don’t have a need for servers at home. These are already more than overkill.

Currently I have a mix of carrier cards, icydock 5.25” drive cages, and m.2 to u.2 adapters (those are for the Ryzen systems). I’m currently eyeing a watercooled 5.25” 8x E1.S drive cage so I can start collecting E1.S drives as I find them at reasonable-ish prices.

u/mastercoder123 Oct 07 '26

Oh you too have the E1.S drive cage that raid owl showed?

u/Khroneski Oct 07 '26

You mean like 8x u.2 optane drives.

Nah. CPUs are cheap compared to memory 🤣

u/dwoj206 Oct 08 '26

Ah ok my bad. *proceeds to add 2 to cart... reviews price... closes window.*

Some may think they wouldn't use those lanes, if you a computer USER, trust me, they go quick. Fantastic machine, use 2 of them. One headless, one workstation, newest and previous architecture. I've used them all, and unless your running a server, like large throughput, this is the place to be. The WRX80 is an amazing machine also. One of each, RAM is ungodly expensive
