Regarding your questions about the dual slot NVMe PCIe adapter card and bifurcation, here’s a breakdown to clarify things:
Bifurcation Setup
Jumper Cap for Bifurcation:
Yes, the jumper cap is typically used to enable PCIe bifurcation on the motherboard. Essentially, by placing the cap on specific jumper pins, you are enabling the motherboard to split the PCIe lanes from a single x16 slot into two x8 slots (or x4 slots depending on the motherboard and card).
BIOS Settings:
After inserting the jumper cap and the adapter card, you’ll still need to check the BIOS settings. Some motherboards may require enabling or configuring PCIe bifurcation in the BIOS.
You’ll likely find an option under Advanced Settings or PCIe Configuration, where you can specify the number of lanes you want to allocate to the card. This is critical to ensure the system correctly recognizes and uses the dual NVMe slots.
Jumper Cap Explanation:
A jumper cap is a small plastic piece that you place on two pins of a jumper header to connect them. It's a simple way to change a setting on the motherboard without needing to adjust more complex options. Think of it as a physical toggle switch for certain configurations (in this case, bifurcation).
Regarding the Noctua CPU Fan Link:
Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll look into the link issue. It seems like it’s mistakenly pointing to the AMD model instead of the Intel version for this motherboard. I’ll get that corrected right away.
