  If I use this, will it affect my PCI-E lanes for my graphics card? Using 2x3080s on a B550 Aorus Pro with a Ryzen 5000 series cpu

  Edit: The M2B_SB connector shares bandwidth with the PCIEX4 slot. The PCIEX4 slot will become unavailable when an SSD is installed in the M2B_SB connector.

  Dang. No NVMe for me I guess unless I go X570

    Just a clarification, your second RTX 3080 would run fine in PCIE3, and this isn't a PCIE4 ssd either…

    I presume on the b550 they share bandwidth between the nvme slot and the second pcie slot…but surely both would work just fine together?

    I probably dont have a good understanding of the issue here…

      thats what I thought too, the manual is pretty clear that if you use the M.2 SSD then the bottom PCI slot (for the second card) will be un-usable.

      part of me wants to ask Gigabyte if it will be ok with PCI Gen 3 SSDs, as I am curious how much will it affect the bandwidth.

      Currently with the miner riser outside, my main card is running at 16x Gen 4 and the second card at 1x Gen 3. cant go lower than that lol.

      1x Gen3 doesnt affect mining, but does have an effect on rendering and gaming.

    I was in your situation too. I ended up getting Asrock x570 steel legend. It supports two pcie4 x8 (pcie3 x16 speed), plus two pcie4 x2 speed (theoretical 2000MB/s each) for two nvme ssd. It is one of the last ATX board has 4 slots spacing, it will give much better cooling for dual GPU setup.

    If he mines with two 3080, he only need pcie x1. His b550 can mine with three 3080 if he wants to. Duel GPU can be used for machine learning, rendering and other professional work, even without nvlink.

    Just saying.

      The spacing looks similar to the B550 Aorus Pro - plus with waterblocks it should be much slimmer hopefully (having put the loop together yet).

      I tried 3x3080, was too hot for my room. Kept crashing, plus reselling it made me recoup costs of the 2nd GPU.

        Ah, so u don't need full pcie speed. It shouldn't crash though, did u get gigabyte card with junk thermal pads?

        Or run without side panel, and fan pointing at the card directly.

        Or use bigger case.I used Fractal design AS myself for two 3070s. I just cable tie two fans on the water pump mount, blow at two cards directly

          @s20525xxx: For rendering 1x isnt enough (CUDA rendering) - which the second card will be doing. For mining, it is sufficient. I am hoping that when I move the 2nd card to the motherboard it will be more than 1x.

          I got the EVGA FTW3 Ultras. Could hit max 97Mh/s on them. At 100MH/s they were too sensitive to 100C+ temps and would crash. Two of them were outside, and one inside. Using the O11 replica, Qube Neo.

            @kehuehue: I would say try to put fan on the backplate, and another fan feed air to gpu intake fan, like what they do on mining rack

  wait what, you have two 3080 cards? why?

  • 

    Jengel on 19/08/2021 - 11:58

    I assume they mine crypto with both at the same time and saves on initial startup costs. Don't know any other reason why someone would have two high-tier graphics cards in one machine! Crazy.

      i know the 3080s dont support SLI - so not for gaming for sure, unless DX12 multi-GPU allows for it.

      its mostly for mining, and when that ends or becomes nonviable, then CUDA rendering.

        holy hell, well gg to you sir

        also if your bios allows it, you should be able to set up two profiles
        1 with the second gpu slot disabled thus allowing m2 slot active (for games i assume?)

        then 2 profile for both gpus to be up and running with the m2 slot disabled

          @PensionerXXL: interesting, never thought of that.

          i dont really need nvme m.2 but want to have it for the direct-storage feature that will be used for games eventually (and requires nvme).

          maybe by then ill have my motherboard upgraded.

    my sentiments exactly

  hibijibis on 19/08/2021 - 21:26

  is this or the crucial p1 deal better?

  • 

    blackfalcon53 on 20/08/2021 - 08:11

    I think the SN550 is considered to be slightly better than the p1. So at similar prices get this.

  will this work with ps5?

    Danny N on 20/08/2021 - 14:34

    No, you need gen 4 nvme. Sn550 is gen 3
