December 8, 20214 yr Hello all! I have some questions I hope someone more knowledgeable prople can answer for me. Below is a list of my current Unraid build. I am getting a NIC for Christmas and would like to install it. Here is my question. My current motherboard has three 16x lanes and one 1x lane. Which device should I put on the 1x with a riser and/or should I look for a four 16x motherboard. Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master CPU: AMD 3600x PCIe 1: Nvidia P2000 PCIe 2: LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i-8-port PCIe 3: LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i-8-port New NIC: Dell 0RT8N1 Mellanox Connectx-2 The reason for the dilemma is because I am not sure regarding the limitations of a riser when it comes to the data transfer rate which is why I was leaning towards the GPU. Suggestions and thoughts would be appreciated! Edited December 8, 20214 yr by ItsRaining
