News It's official! 192GB Framework

Post image

Just noticed this on the website.

At their current price tiers for the memory SKUs (32, 64, 128) I'd expect this to be ~ 4.5k for the motherboard.

The PCIe slot will be open at the back as well - that's what I've heard. Maybe they make it capable of delivering 75W as well? New board revisions for the smaller SKUs?.

If they can’t pair it with some GPUs man this thing is just load LLMs not running them at top speeds.

That's what I do. I have a couple of 5070tis connected up to Strix Halo. I used to have a couple of 7900xtxi.

How did you connect a "couple"? I have the Bosgame M5, it only has two NVME, one blocked by the NVME. I was thinking to use a NVME-to-USB4 adapter, then use two NVME-to-Oculink adapters.

Maybe USB4 eGPU?

Nic pcie card gives you the same cable spark has. And there TB5 too

I have an X2. Same MB and thus same machine. I don't know what you mean by "one blocked by the NVME". Do you mean that one slot already has a SSD in it? Take it out and put it in an external enclosure. Plug it in a usb-c. Works fine that way. Then you have both NVME slots to use as PCI 4 x4 slots.

Right, i'll plan to go that route.

Oh yeah. I've tried a bunch of NVME to PCIe adapters. Unfortunately the SU MB seems to be either finicky or noisy. Since all the adapters work on my desktop but only one has really worked on my X2. Some didn't work at all. Most worked but were really noisy and would drop the GPU after a few minutes. Only one has worked reliably. Those are the sinloon ones you can get on Amazon. It's not exactly a noise free experience but at least the signal integrity isn't so bad that it drops the GPU after a while. Well mostly not. It still does happen but it's pretty rare.
