<hr />
<div>Viewed your wiki Desktop Roadmap page. The first Urgently Needed section points out to me that the first thing needed is a place for Normal Users to ask questions or seek advise on fairly basic tasks or problems.<br />
<br />
This should lighten the load on Raptor having to answer the same question multiple times or help people new to the system get familiar with the ins and outs of doing and understanding at least the basics.<br />
<br />
IRC is okay for many tasks and discussions but just not for everything, especially trying to lead another through a multi-step procedure that may take more time than folks in different time zones have to dedicate to on-line presence.<br />
<br />
My first request for Urgently Needed would be a dedicated website setup with catagorized forums and ruled by a dictator and minions to keep the noise to a very minimum.<br />
<br />
I do not know about setting up such a website or what costs are involved although very willing to help pay for such as I'm sure others would be. It's always good to have a home.<br />
<br />
And now we have :-)</div>Xilinderhttps://wiki.raptorcs.com/w/index.php?title=Talk:Desktop_Roadmap&diff=1903Talk:Desktop Roadmap2019-01-28T17:11:09Z<p>Xilinder: Website Home.</p>

<div>Talos_II Two kernel GPU solution.<br />
<br />
Until a solution can be found to take advantage of booting using the onboard AST GPU -or- a GPU you have installed in a PCIe slot this workaround can be used.<br />
<br />
It requires building two kernels to use the same installed Linux system.<br />
When issuing the update-grub command after having located your new kernel, and initrd.img plus System.map, into the boot directory, GRUB will boot the kernel with the highest local number first. So the kernel for the PCIe slot GPU must have a higher number than the kernel for the AST chip.<br />
<br />
For example;<br />
4.18.12a3 = AST<br />
4.18.12k4 = AMD<br />
<br />
To use the AMD GPU the AST VGA jumper must be ON and you will see no video output until the login screen appears.<br />
<br />
If you need to use the AST VGA for Petitboot functions then the VGA jumper must first be removed. You can then manually select the lower numbered kernel to boot into your system.<br />
<br />
Instead of messing around with the jumper a mini toggle switch can be connected to the board pins and located most anywhere.<br />
<br />
The only difference in the kernels is the selection of Graphics Driver.<br />
One will select only the AMDGPU driver and the other, lower numbered kernel, will only select the AST driver. Both kernels will have any firmware blobs needed for the AMDGPU but they will simply not be used for the AST kernel.<br />
<br />
There is no need to make a xorg.conf.d file or to blacklist the AST.<br />
<br />
Unfortunatly this only works for one Linux distribution on your Talos II.<br />
Additional distros will need to use the Xorg.conf.d and blacklist.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />
* SilverStone Strider gold S series 850W ATX. 80 plus gold certification. ([[User:Xilinder|Xilinder]])<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />
* SilverStone Strider gold S series 850W ATX. 80 plus gold certification. ([User:Xilinder|Xilinder])<br />

== SAS/SATA Storage Drives ==<br />
<br />
Connected via optional on-board [[PM8068]] controller, or via PCIe controller. NVMe cards are also [[#NVMe Storage Drives|supported]].<br />
<br />
Boards with onboard SAS have one Mini-SAS HD 4i (SFF-8643) port, and four standard SATA-III ports. Both support both SAS and SATA at the electrical level.<br />
<br />
Note: Microsemi Adaptec Series 8 RAID controllers [http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/readme/microsemi_series-8-controller_readme_4_2018.pdf do not support ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD, or tape devices.]<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />
* SilverStone Strider gold S series 850W ATX. 80 plus gold certification.(Xilinder)<br />

== SAS/SATA Storage Drives ==<br />
<br />
Connected via optional on-board [[PM8068]] controller, or via PCIe controller. NVMe cards are also [[#NVMe Storage Drives|supported]].<br />
<br />
Boards with onboard SAS have one Mini-SAS HD 4i (SFF-8643) port, and four standard SATA-III ports. Both support both SAS and SATA at the electrical level.<br />
<br />
Note: Microsemi Adaptec Series 8 RAID controllers [http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/readme/microsemi_series-8-controller_readme_4_2018.pdf do not support ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD, or tape devices.]<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />
* SilverStone Strider gold S series 850W ATX. 80 plus gold certification.<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 6850 - Disable AST VGA with jumper. 32 bit.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a collection of components known to work with the [[Talos_II|Talos™ II]]-based solutions. It's maintained by both [[Raptor Computing Systems|Raptor CS]] and community members.<br />
<br />
== Cases ==<br />
<br />
=== Good Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases were successfully used by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732i-500B'''<br />
** Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D3-903B'''<br />
** No NIC 2 LED on front panel<br />
** Needed [https://www.startech.com/Cables/Computer-Power/Internal/12in-4-Pin-Fan-Power-Extension-Cable~FAN4EXT12 four pin extension cable] for main chassis fan<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC732D4-903B'''<br />
** Add-on sound card recommended<br />
** Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ'''<br />
** Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended<br />
** Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs<br />
** Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** [[:File:TalosII_SystemAssembly_nashimus_v3.mp4|System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ]]<br />
<br />
* '''Rosewill RSV-L4500'''<br />
** Fans are two wire and use molex connectors<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W100''' (See the ''[https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery Morgan's Revenge]'', by [[User:Peter Easton|JollyRoger]])<br />
** The positions of some standoffs are under components mounted on the back of the board. Careful measurement and attachment of only the standoffs that fit prior to installation of the motherboard is ''a necessity'' to avoid damaging the motherboard upon installation.<br />
** An add-on internal USB header is necessary to activate the extra 2 USB3 ports on the front panel.<br />
** The case is very spacious, with plenty of room and lots of space for many fans. Works well to provide necessary airflow and pressure within the case. <br />
** It is extremely important to have a good quality, powerful fan capable of withstanding high temperatures is required for the rear exhaust fan, which is very close to the rear CPU exhaust. A low quality fan in the rear exhaust port may hinder cooling.<br />
<br />
=== Problematic Cases ===<br />
<br />
* '''BeQuiet Dark Base 900''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website<br />
** Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX. <br />
** Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.<br />
<br />
* '''SuperMicro SC822'''<br />
** Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.<br />
<br />
* '''Athena Power RM-3U8G1043'''<br />
** Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.<br />
**There was no standoff hole for the top right. <br />
**The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
==== Standoff Issues ====<br />
<br />
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Fractal Design Define XL R2'''<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
** Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.<br />
<br />
* '''BitFenix Aurora'''<br />
** [[User:MarcusC/BitFenix_Aurora|Multiple missing standoff holes]], some mitigation possible.<br />
<br />
* '''Thermaltake Core W200'''<br />
** Heavy, expensive, massive.<br />
** Compatible ''with caveats''<br />
*** Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.<br />
*** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)<br />
*** Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit<br />
<br />
* '''Nanoxia Deep Silence2''' ([[User:Sharkcz|Sharkcz]])<br />
** missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead<br />
** Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16<br />
<br />
* '''RAIJINTEK ASTERION PLUS (Model 0R200049)''' ([[User:cyrozap|cyrozap]])<br />
** Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.<br />
*** As a workaround the standoffs can be unscrewed and placed upside-down (screw threads facing up) under the motherboard holes.<br />
*** This actually works surprisingly well, and thanks to the other screw points the motherboard is rigid enough that I don't worry too much about the weight of the HSFs flexing it.<br />
*** That said, it's probably a good idea to always transport the system on its side and avoid bumping it if possible.<br />
** The hinged panels that open with handles are much nicer than fiddling with thumb screws, but annoying since it makes it slightly trickier to do things that involve both the inside and back panel of the case (e.g., inserting PCI-e cards).<br />
** The PSU is at the very bottom of the case, while all the motherboard power connectors are at the very top of the case, so this can cause some issues if your PSU's cables aren't long enough.<br />
*** The EPS12V cables on my power supply had a few inches left over, but the main motherboard power cable was just barely able to reach from the other side of the case to the power connector.<br />
** The front of the case is sheet metal stuck to plastic using some double-sided adhesive tape, which doesn't seem to work very well.<br />
*** When I received the case the front metal was starting to peel off a few inches (several cm) at the top and bottom.<br />
*** It sticks back in place when I press on it, but I may need to get some better adhesive and re-apply it later.<br />
** For $170, I was hoping for something a little more robust, but at least it's pretty.<br />
<br />
* possible mitigation is plastic standoff like [https://www.kangyang-europe.com/product/pc-board-hardware/ass-10/ ASS-10]<br />
<br />
* '''Corsair 760T''' ([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Reasonably cheap.<br />
** Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.<br />
** E-ATX boards fit, but the top-left and top-middle standoffs are missing, however this isn't much of a problem as the I/O panel helps hold the board in place.<br />
** Cable management may be difficult, as E-ATX boards cover most of the cable holes.<br />
<br />
=== Candidate Cases ===<br />
<br />
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.<br />
<br />
* '''Lian Li PC-V1000L''' ([[User:Robbieab|Robbieab]] ([[User talk:Robbieab|talk]]))<br />
** Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU. <br />
** Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic. <br />
** Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.<br />
** Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B<br />
<br />
<br />
== Power Supplies ==<br />
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.<br />
<br />
* Seasonic PRIME 1300W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Gold<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W<br />
* Seasonic PRIME Ultra Titanium 1000W (SSR-1000TR)<br />
* FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply ([[User:ebrasca|ebrasca]])<br />
** Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality<br />
* Corsair TX550M 80+ GOLD ([[User:MarcusC|MarcusC]])<br />
** 2nd EPS power cable sold separately<br />
* Corsair AX860 <br />
* EVGA SuperNova 1200P2 1200W Platinum([[User:mosst|mosst]])<br />
** Works well, but the included ATX power cables may be too short if your PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case.<br />

== SAS/SATA Storage Drives ==<br />
<br />
Connected via optional on-board [[PM8068]] controller, or via PCIe controller. NVMe cards are also [[#NVMe Storage Drives|supported]].<br />
<br />
Boards with onboard SAS have one Mini-SAS HD 4i (SFF-8643) port, and four standard SATA-III ports. Both support both SAS and SATA at the electrical level.<br />
<br />
Note: Microsemi Adaptec Series 8 RAID controllers [http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/readme/microsemi_series-8-controller_readme_4_2018.pdf do not support ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD, or tape devices.]<br />

==== AMD ====<br />
<br />
All AMD GPUs currently have DMA issues (limited to 32-bit, which can cause crashes) with the current Talos II firmware.<br />
This is expected to be fixed in future firmware updates.<br />
<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 5850 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7850 - Disabled onboard VGA. Using amdgpu is highly unstable, radeon driver is usable but has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon HD 7950 - Must disable onboard VGA first. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA.<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 220<br />
* AMD Radeon R5 230 - Works in BE mode (use <code>Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"</code> for Xorg)<br />
* AMD Radeon R7 240<br />
* Radeon R9 290X<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 (Polaris10 core) - Available pre-installed on Talos II workstation, server, and desktop configurations.<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX5100<br />
* AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 (Polaris11 core) - May need at least linux 4.16 in order to get Xorg to work.<br />
* AMD RX Vega 56 - Works with Debian Buster with amdgpu. Requires patches to work, somewhat unstable but usable. Cannot use AST Integrated VGA and AMDGPU at the same time without causing conflict. Not tested at this moment for use in petitboot or firmware. <br />
<br />
The core name is important when storing the firmware into the BOOTKERNFW partition in PNOR for use by skiroot.<br />
<br />
==== NVIDIA ====<br />
* NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) - Works in petitboot if onboard VGA is disabled. Currently has issues with only using 32-bit DMA. No firmware needed.<br />

Unfortunately the auxiliary serial port is disabled in software by default. To enable it temporarily for a given boot, interrupt U-Boot through the serial port in the prior section, and then enter the following commands at the '''ast#''' prompt:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
setenv fit 0x20080000<br />
setenv other_rfs 0x20300000<br />
setenv uart2_fdt 0x90000000<br />

else<br />
bootm ${fit}#conf@1 ${other_rfs} ${uart2_fdt}<br />
fi<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
After the system has booted, you can enable logins over the auxiliary serial port with:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS1.service<br />
</pre></div>Xilinder
