  1. Where is Intel with my HEDT! i want a new X399 499 599? Why! i want multiple gpu capture cards and high speed storage with thunderbolt 5 and occulink.

  2. The best product Asus can make. Ive used these Hyper M.2 Cards since PCIe Gen3 version on all my workstations. I have raid0 arrays of minimum 4 nvvme drives up to 12 on two of my workstations ( Gen4 EPYC 3rd Gen and Genoa Gen5). This means my slowest array was already at or faster than current Gen5 nvme drives all while not needing to worry about cooling. And on some of these machines I still use Primocache (Slowest Raid0 array is 4 980 evos with primocache and I get 17 to 22GBps sustained reads/writes and insane random/iop figures X399 TR build).

    for work these are great and on some games it can definitely make up for the loss of Microsoft direct storage since direct storage does not support raid

  3. Wendell "Data Pump" (Whatever his last name is)! 😆

    I could use something like that for AM4, because the prices of SATA SSD's at higher capacity are ridiculously highly priced compared to M.2 NVME's, despite much lower performance!🤯

  4. lol was just planning a ASUS B550-XE build > 200$ on newOgg … how did u know i needed this very instructional vid!? x8 > good thing i got a W6600 and RTX 4060Ti to play with

  5. I would love one of these things fully kitted with 8Tbs in them, but who am i kidding, i cannot afford, i have no real use case for it whatsoever, but still, this thing is fucking awesome.
    Also, VERY few motherboards where this will be useful, most that CAN bifurcate will mean you end up with an x8 for your GPU, which if you have a use case for this might be an issue, or you have so much money to burn you will want to max out your RTX 4090 but then maybe can't !?

  6. Looking forward to some test numbers on this card. I have a Lenovo P620 with a 3995wx Threadripper and I have been thinking about adding one of these in Slot-1 with some fast PCIE-4 drives. This system board supports bifurcation with x4x4x4x4. I wonder what kind of speeds are realistic with RAID0 read/write on this combo.

  7. I'm using gen4 version in my nas PC (am4) and it works flawlessly.
    It's a pity that you didn't show any performance tests on 4 gen 5 devices. With intel vroc and md.

  8. Verry much needed video! Thank you! Asus product website does not explain a small fraction of what I heard in this video. We definitely fall for it with a LGA1700 machine and had to send it back because the CPU/mobo 8x + 8x bifurcation was not properly detailed. We had to google for 2 days and gather information from several places to realize we f..ked up.

  9. It would be nice if Wendel gave some of us Intel W2400 and W3400 users some lovin' too, instead of mostly/only discussing AMD. There is more to life than just Threadripper… I just made the AMD crowd mad… 🙂
    I looked at this Quad card plus the Gen4 version of it, but I only require 1 additional 4TB NVMe drive. It's going in an Intel Xeon W7-2495X 24C, ASUS W790 ACE, 512GB, RTX-3090 system. I have a 2TB SN850X for the OS, a 4TB SN850X for Data, and I want to split the data across two 4TB SN850X units, one for UE4 and UE5 installs, and the second for projects. The 5000D case has two 3.5 bays, so I use one for a 2TB OS Clone drive and the other for an 8TB Data Robocopy backup drive. I still really like this ASUS Quad card, but I feel that it is overkill for just one more drive.

  10. D4 Strix Z690 Wi-Fi(ddr4)
    Gen3 X16 Length-slot/ X8 PCIe dimm contacts / x4 signal lanes. Can run x4 or x2x2 or x4x0* non-NVME PCIe devices of X4 in the "M.2 card" bios labeled (2×2) bifurcation will run @x4x0. have not tested if two(non-NVME) x1 or x2 PCIe devices. Probably*~(m.2 Card label). Gen5Pcie x16 @ 16 or x8x8 some i/o overflow seems to cause no hindrance while others … 💣

    ** Chipset is apt to get hot well over 80'C. Fairly thin finless aluminum heatsink.

  11. Mucho appreciate your hard work. I love my x4x4x4x4 gen 4 card with all its wonderful speed. Give me more please and it will still be fantistico

  12. I really want cards like this but with an onboard switch that allows install in an x4 slot. I don't need the performance of a threadripper system for my home server, but I yearn for the pcie lanes.

  13. I JUUUUST won an old 7th gen intel bitcoin mobo with all the X1 slots everywhere so i can try it as a budget all-flash NAS with 10Gb and a bunch of 256GB garbage SSD's on x1 NVME cards using ZFS on (probably) ubuntu …may my garbage fire burn bright and hot!!! i think itll work…i doubt itll be good…but im poor enough that itll make me happy 🙂

  14. @Level1Techs I don’t have a bunch of these to test, let alone a Gen5 server board, but my understanding of these cards are that they just physically take the lanes and put them for an NVMe connection with nothing in between.

    If that’s the case, is there a difference between the Gen3, Gen4, or Gen5 versions of these Hyper M.2 cards? Or is there something else going on?

  15. My beef with Asus. This card was included in my B550XE. Thought it was a great add-in, especially to justify the price. EXCEPT. The B550XE doesn’t support PCI-e bifurcation, no matter how many configurations and slots I tried.

    So it ended up in my headless Ryzen 1600 B350 (AsRock B350 Pro4) that DID support 4x4x4x4 bifurcation.

  16. I am CONSTANTLY frustrated by the lack of pcie lanes on mainstream high end cpu platforms. it's incredibly annoying to only have room for 1 16x gpu and like maybe 3 m.2 drives. MAYBE a 10g nic if you're lucky.

  17. When you put the PCIe IC close to the connector it becomes very difficult to get the signals all the same length. If you have to stretch a differential pair by 10mm but the IC is 5mm from the connector – it gets ugly. But if the IC is 50mm from the connector then it becomes much easier thereby allowing for better shielding. And this is not atypical – the connector is flat and the ICs are rectangular. It never works out perfectly.

    And fyi, the distance is not that big of a deal. As long as the PCB impedance is correctly implemented and the traces are well shielded then the signal will travel quite far. But adding those extra layers to facilitate better shielding cost money. The motherboard manufacturers are only aiming for good enough.

  18. I have one of the gen 3 and gen 4 cards. The drives can get a bit warm in the gen 4 if I'm really hammering it so I hoped they bumped up the cooling to match how warm gen 5 drives can get. Otherwise been happy with these cards.
