Live: AMD PC upgrade, with 10 GbE in an M.2 slot!

Time for an upgrade! This one will have a strange M.2 NIC that supposedly gives 10 GbE in one of the NVMe slots! Here are the parts I used in my build: - Open Benchtable: - ASUS TUF GT501 Case: - ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi AM5 Motherboard: - AMD Ryzen 9 7900x 12-core, 24-thread CPU: - Noctua NH-U12A 120mm CPU Cooler: - Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM: - KIOXIA XG8 2TB SSD: (XG7 listed on Amazon) - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC 24G GPU: - CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapters: - Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1200W Modular PSU: - HD Audio Extension Cable: - Innodisk EGPL-T101 10 GbE M.2 NIC: - I bought it for $185 from WDL Systems early last year, and it took months to ship! I also referenced the following in the course of my build: - Flashing the ASUS Motherboard BIOS: - Moving my PC into my rack in a 2U case: - I had to return my AMD RX 7900 XTX Cooler: Support me on Patreon: Sponsor me on GitHub: Merch: 2nd Channel: Contents: 00:00:00 - It’s not really NVMe 00:05:02 - It’s a 10G M.2 NIC! 00:05:36 - Stripping down the old PC 00:17:55 - New Parts - 42% for Ubuntu 00:25:42 - Huge GPU, new motherboard too 00:36:49 - Kinky motherboard cabling 00:48:15 - PSU cabling 00:52:46 - Innodisk EGPL-T101 10G M.2 NIC install 01:00:49 - GPU Support Bracket?
