  • description: Building a server with a consumer-grade AM5 chip? I've been saying it couldn't be done, but here we are doing exactly that. After weeks of wrestling with my venerable Epyc 7402 server that died and some disappointing experiments with Threadripper Pro, I'm taking the plunge with the Ryzen 9950X paired with ASUS ProArt X870E. The real challenge? Making do with just 40 PCIe lanes versus the 128 I'm used to. It's a tight squeeze configuring the bifurcation so everything plays nicely - my Intel data center SSDs, the A4000 GPU, and various other bits. Through careful experimentation and lots of BIOS tinkering, I've managed to create a setup that handles almost everything my old Epyc box did, at half the price. Power draw sits at around 80W idle and peaks at 400W under load - surprisingly reasonable for the sheer computing power on tap. If you're interested in maxing out consumer hardware for server applications, this might just be the sweet spot. Full Proxmox configuration details coming in future videos. === Enquiries: [email protected] 🖥️ https://alex.ktz.me 🦣 mastodon techhub.social/@ironicbadger 📓 https://blog.ktz.me 🧑🏽‍💻 https://github.com/ironicbadger 🎙️ https://selfhosted.show podcast === 00:00 - Consumer hardware for a server?! 05:56 - What is a PCIe Lane? 08:13 - Asus ProArt X870-E Overview 15:49 - Power Usage
