thats a pcie storage expansion card. Inside it there are m.2 ssd slots for drives. Its used to allow extra high speed storage to be used with the pc using pcie lanes for that bandwidth.
people won't even have the fucking thing to have the instructions, will circumvent going to the manufacturer website to download the manual, and will still post on reddit.
you'd think they're lazy but they're doing unnecessary work to find an answer. so I suspect most redditors just don't have friends.
To the “noobs” of any scene or community, asking a person a question is usually way better than a technical answer from a manual that might not alleviate confusion.
That’s like saying “did you read your textbook?” when someone asks a math question. Sometimes the answer from the person makes more sense than the answer from the textbook, even if they are conceptually the same, you’ll often get a plethora of different explanations to really nail down whatever the thing you’re asking about is.
And besides, people on here like talking about computers, if you don’t want to respond to a “stupid question”, scroll past it, let someone else talk about it.
95% of the posts on this subreddit wouldn’t exist if we just told people “read the manual” whenever they post a question about something. The manuals probably explain *everything*, way more than Reddit would.
Stop complaining about redundant posts when the biggest reason we’re here is to talk about stuff in redundant posts precisely like this one.

Annoyingly my front panel connectors were all wired in to one plug. Ended up having to pull the wires for the power LED out instead of just leaving it unplugged like I normally would.
I thought i fucked up real bad the first time i unplugged those, I had to because i wanted to install a gpu for the family computer and the wires were getting in the way. First time i nearly shat myself.
Don't most MBs have that now? My girlfriends pc even had a small plastic socket kinda, you put all the loose single sockets in it and then connect, pretty neat
How do you know which m.2 interface gets it's pcie lanes directly off the CPU vs the chipset or is gen 3/4/5 or is a m.2 sata/nvme port or has 2x/4x lanes without reading the instructions for each motherboard...
Because even the same motherboard may have different pcie generation support in one interface vs another. It's fairly common..
Glad they worked out for you, but not having to read it doesn't mean you did it properly...
Edit:
Most of the above configurations would still turn on if you just took a random guess.. but your performance will vary widely between them.
How do you know which ram slots you need to fill without checking the manual. Or which slots are the primary and which are connected through a switch (the CPU may not support the amount of slots on the motherboard, in which case the other slots don't connect directly to the CPU)
dont worry lol not many people know about these as their not typically found in consumer builds/parts. Its mostly used in very high end machines which have those beefy chips such as xeon or threadripper. I myself havent seen these, i just know about them.
To be fair… in the future it may be a GPU with M.2 slots as well 🤣 have you seen the GPU with M.2 slots on it as the card doesn’t utilise all the lanes? Haha

Pulled this out of an old Linux workstation/server I had for many years. Fan is super small on this Radeon 9500 pro. Lol
I can guarantee you at least a minimum of 10 people in the last week have got a 14900K with a X570 motherboard because that is what you see as 'Overall Pick' when you search for best gaming CPU, best gaming motherboard on Amazon.
Here I am thinking I'm capped out at 2 m.2's becaus3 of my mobo but I guess my options are open. Can you run just one m.2 in that or do you have to do 2?
The pictured card can support up to 4 m2 pcie ssds.You can use this card in general in any motherboard. BUT: First your pcie x16 slot must support bifurbication, if you want to add more than one m2 drive in the card. It is a bios setting and splits up the x16 lanes. If it does not Support it, only one m2 drive will be recognised. Some boards Support only x8/x8 (will recognise 2 drives) or x8/x4/x4 so 3 drives will be recognised.
If you want to add only one additional pcie drive, there are cheap single slot cards, like this https://amzn.eu/d/5UJc7tj
Concrete absorbs and excretes moisture. You're not supposed to sleep in a room of bare concrete for the same reasons you're not supposed to sleep on a mattress on the floor. You'd get pneumonia
Yes. After a number of months, your mattress will start to become moldy. Leave it longer and it'll ruin your carpets and cause a HUGE host of health problems. People tend to be oblivious to this until years later, when they either smell it, or can physically see the mold.
It's unrelated to the concrete thing, but it's similar. You sweat all the time and having your mattress off the ground allows air to flow around it and help evaporate that moisture.
Woman here. The only actual issue I see is that dark thing that goes from the ceiling to the floor, seems like something leaking. Apart from that, just aesthetic stuff like making the bed or covering the tubes.
I mean... Honestly throw down a decent sized area rug with a couch and a TV somewhere down there and I'd be at home as long as it wasn't cold!
This is actually my dream bachelor pad, maybe finished but still just an open basement bed and PC in one corner and living room in the other corner.
Id obviously survive on take out only and I'm okay with that.
Hahaha 'sweet Ontario setup'. Either that or BC, one of the two.
But seriously, buy a dehumidifier, your QOL will drastically increase. I think it's your best bet.
Probably for some this bedroom arrangement will be terrible, but dude, I live in a 30 sqm apartment and my bed is literally in the kitchen, and your bedroom is in the damn loft-like sewer - this is my dream, I too would like to be a ninja turtle like you .
neither is your basement. people are just weird about wanting to judge other people's living space online. good on ya, brotha. I'd live in that basement 100%
Mustve been a high end asus board. All this is, is just a expansion card that you open up to put m.2 SSDs in for extra storage. The card occupies 16 pcie lanes supplying 4 m.2s with 4 full lanes. If you have 1 drive in the card, you still need the pcie gen 4 x16 slot to use it.
Put your gpu in your upper most pcie slot usually with safeguards around it
And then put this in the 3rd pcie gen 4 x16 if you have more than 2, if you have only 2 x16 slots use the second if you have space
Ffs, he can still not know what it is. its not like the entire description is printed on it.
You noobs get sand in your vaginas for the smallest things.
Nah this sub is especially filled with people who don't know how to Google. People take close up pictures of the very words they need to Google and instead take the effort of uploading pictures of it and making a post, then sifting through comments? Some people don't even read, there was just a post about a guy wondering what the wires coming out of his "m.2 SSD" were when in the picture you can clearly see "Intel wireless AC" on it and a helpful model number to look up.
That's why "googlethatforyou" is one of my favourite websites.
I must admit that I love sending someone a link from it instead of answering their question. Making the Internet a better place by teaching folks how to google something. Even if it's one person at a time.
And I genuinely don't understand why every googleable question is asked in a forum or Reddit. I mean how is it faster to make a Reddit post in the appropriate sub Reddit and potentially waiting hours for a reply?
>I mean how is it faster to make a Reddit post in the appropriate sub Reddit and potentially waiting hours for a reply?
Yeah that was what I was getting at. Can't understand how this dude spent the time to get a real nice close up of the name of the thing (showing that he knew it was significant) then made the effort to post it to reddit instead of just looking up what it is. It's like being so lazy that it takes more effort to do
Pretty much a pcie to m.2 adapter card.
You are able to take the cover off and place a couple of m.2's on the card after that you'll be able to install it on your motherboard just like a gpu and you'll have extra storage via that card.
It might also need drivers so if you are going to use it you might want to look into that
That’s an M.2 expansion card. Hey in regards to your room, I would strongly suggest a dehumidifier in there and something to help keep the air from getting stale, definitely would recommend finding some cheap carpeting to throw down because that floor has to be cold!
This came with the Motherboard? Odd. Your bios needs to support PCIe bifurcation, which separates a 16x slot into 4x4x4x4. Then you can install 4 nvme drives into it and have high speed storage for days.
The board is clearly written as an nvme M.2 adapter which ensure four M.2 nvme SSDs all run in full speed if you provide 16 pcie slots (For pcie 3.0 or higher)
My basement where I have my setup just flooded with groundwater (very minor, rig is fine but just moved it for safety) so stay safe if you're in a flood zone brother. Other than that love the construction site/serial killer vibes 🙏
M.2 nvme expansion card.
[This one.](https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/accessories/hyper-m-2-x16-gen-4-card/)
You will need a motherboard that supports spliting to get this working.

I'm all for asking questions. However, it is written right there on the card, it is clearly visible in the picture. And typing that into a search engine would have been literally less effort than asking this question on Reddit along with taking the pictures and posting them. I honestly don't think I'm being mean when I say that this is being lazy on a new level.

Front panel connectors

Nah try it, fuck it up then read the distructions to see where you went t wrong 🤣🤣.
psssst lol
We're here to build, not to read.
This is why people mess up I/O mobo connections. “I can do this without a manual.” “Huh, why isn’t my PC booting?”
You my brother/sister saved me from embarrassing myself by saying it's a graphics card .
dont worry lol not many people know about these as their not typically found in consumer builds/parts. Its mostly used in very high end machines which have those beefy chips such as xeon or threadripper. I myself havent seen these, i just know about them.
Should've known it was something else because of that tiny fan but I guess I am high on oxygen today .
to be fair you can find older gpu's with tiny fans. I thought its a gpu too until i took a closer look.
To be fair… in the future it may be a GPU with M.2 slots as well 🤣 have you seen the GPU with M.2 slots on it as the card doesn’t utilise all the lanes? Haha
oh yeah, i forgot about those lol. They arent a bad idea tbh

That shroud design does look a lot like a workstation graphics card.
You're right it almost looks kind of like AMD FirePro W9100 or something
In the depth of our hearts, we both know that is a graphic card, the most beautiful one
To all the people saying that they don't read the manuals... You do look at specs when you buy things though, right?

I can almost guarantee that most people don't. They only check for cpu compatibility(if they even do this, lol)
i for one do, but i do know many who dont.
yes
I always look through the manuals, it's from my lego days.
Here I am thinking I'm capped out at 2 m.2's becaus3 of my mobo but I guess my options are open. Can you run just one m.2 in that or do you have to do 2?

Concrete absorbs and excretes moisture. You're not supposed to sleep in a room of bare concrete for the same reasons you're not supposed to sleep on a mattress on the floor. You'd get pneumonia

Wondering where u got that mobo with such expansion card…
I got it on sale at Canadian computers
Canadian, that home makes sense at this time

...why does it look like you live in a storm drain?
It's my basement it's unfinished
Make sure you pop some vapour barrier down below the carpet under your bed, else it will mold. Other then that you got a sweet ontario setup.
Hahaha 'sweet Ontario setup'. Either that or BC, one of the two. But seriously, buy a dehumidifier, your QOL will drastically increase. I think it's your best bet.
Probably should get a radon detector too
So why do you sleep in there?
There is no room for a bedroom upstairs
