I'm pretty sure all APUs (at least before the 3000-series, IIRC I heard they got a full off-chip PCIe setup) whether they be Ryzen or Athlon had 16+4 PCIe lanes, of which the 16 is split into 8 lanes for the iGPU and 8 lanes for the first PCIe slot. And given that PCIe lane splitting on motherboards for CF/SLI uses lanes 0-7 for slot 1 and 8-15 for the second slot, I believe the second slot will not be connected to the APU whatsoever, as those lanes are already occupied by the iGPU and never actually leave the APU substrate.

Swapped my fractal design r6 case to an i5 7400 cpu and asus z270-p Motherboard.

Bought:
palit Jetstream gtx 980ti,8gb ddr4 2400mhz ram and 256gb Samsung 950 Pro m.2 for a sweet deal.

ok that was weird ...

sooo, basically one of my etailer finally got a Retroflag GPi case, i decide to order a kit yesterday,

the kit should look like that :

i receive it this morning, case .... ok batteries... none (not complaining i have some) RPi Zero W 1.1... UH? 2 of them? (not complaining .... it's about the price of the accu pack that was initially supposed to be in) uSD ... ok

ok installing pogo pins and provided 2 head screwdriver ... easy as pie

setup will come later ... need to configure RetroPi and wifi + SSH

and i got a universal 8.4" tablet flipcase, not bad for 19.90chf

@GreiverBlade
Have any plans for the second Pi Zero?

Have any plans for the second Pi Zero?

probably since, given the price, it's not really advantageous to resell it opposed to keep it for my second TV in my bedroom, i have the MiBox S on the main TV in the livingroom and moving it is not a real issue, but since that Zero is a W and not a WH the lack of the GPIO header mean i can do a hyper compact case (probably an aluminum CNC milled with a little array of fins that would act as an heatsink, although it would mean finding someone with the tools to do so :laugh:

but nothing is impossible )

also price wise ... Switzerland is a nightmare ... usual online store price: 10'ish chf my retailer pricing : 22'ish chf (yep double the price but in stock )

Libretro initial setup and DL for all needed .... will take some time, some time later ... ooohhh look good ... (i still own the original NES cartridge and i also have the GBA version of it ... soooo technically legal)

Some more bits for the Ncase m1 build, just a shame the Black version of these fans aren't released yet.

great mouse
if they added infinite scroll wheel and made the clicks sharper there would be no reason to make mice anymore.everyone should just stop.

Cooler came

heky · Jan 3, 2020

@Durvelle27

One of the fans on the cooler is mounted the wrong way (the fans push air against each other), do turn it around before mounting the cooler...

biffzinker · Jan 3, 2020

I just ordered this since I have been wanting to get my hands on Arctic Cooling's MX-4 paste. I have used their MX-2 before in the past, and was I surprised at how well it works.
First though, I will try the graphite thermal pad.

This didn't even pop up in my notifications but it was corrected

remixedcat · Jan 4, 2020

He's not as picky w phones just needs higher than 3500mAh, big screen, and 3GB RAM.
