hello,
i am currently running supermicro x11ssm-f https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SSM-F ; using xeon e3-1230v6.
The board has only 4 pcie slots; which are fully occupied ;(
Is it possible to replace board; keep CPU with other that has more PCie say 5-6? and also can handle more then 64G ram ECC ; or ram is limited by CPU?
I need more pcie bc i need to plug GPU;
Also as far i understood there is no NVME to SATA adapter currently?
all says that i cant be connected via SATA port ;( and supermicro doesnt come with SFF-8639
So maybe i can boot system from SATA DOM instead of NVME inside PCIe reduction and save one PCIe, or if there is something that can convert NVME to SATA?
OR maybe NVME to USB adapter and boot from usb? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Adapter-...86685&sprefix=nvme+to+sa,aps,744&sr=8-31&th=1
Thanks!
