Rants etc.....

Ran into a weird issue with home lab the other week figured I'd share.

With a B50 pro to take full use of it requires resizable bar and a bunch of other settings... BIOS for the generation of servers I'm using supports all the settings except resizable bar unless I'm willing to DIY custom patch the BIOS and install the DIY patched BIOS. So I find myself now occasionally poking around for a newer server motherboard + cpu combo that can.

I could also shove the 5950x into the server and replace my desktop but that would end up being far more expensive in the end with current pricing of hardware.
 
Looking at nvme drive prices, just about fainted.

I really need to rearrange some of my drives at home.. could sell 2 or 3 4tb nvme and a couple 2TB... yeesh.. at current prices I'd be able to retire a year earlier.

Haha, my friend ran into the same, and bricked his board, so YMMV! I think he might have used Grok to generate the BIOS patch though, can't quite recall. His Gigabyte X299 board had no USB flashback either - I guess it wasn't prevalent back then. Funny thing is though, newer X299 boards do have rebar support, so he ended up buying a new ASRock instead since surprisingly they were still available.

Realistically a x10dri board and a pair of 2697-v4s are not worth a fortune or anything like that so bricking the board wouldn't be the end of the world but not sure if is the risk I want to take. A 7002/7003 dual socket epyc would be amazing because I could just re-use the ram but they are not cheap right now either. Not Xeon v3/v4 levels of cheap anyways.
