[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2392061, member: 76792"] I haven't started any thermal testing yet. Now that is worth exploring. It would appear the chipset, A77E, supports six SATA ports but AMD intentionally restricted it to two ports for this product: [ATTACH type="full"]143665[/ATTACH] The last line there, "FIS Based Switch Mode", indicates the chipset supports FIS based SATA Port Multipliers. Some information about that here: [URL]https://www.synopsys.com/designware-ip/technical-bulletin/port-multipliers.html[/URL] This is promising since there's confirmed support for SATA port multipliers for the A75 chipset here: [URL]https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SATA_hardware_features[/URL] . I had [USER=138]@SunnyBoi[/USER]'s LGA115X mount adapter ([URL='https://techenclave.com/threads/discussion-amd-4700s-desktop-kit.199558/page-10#post-2371157']link[/URL]) laser cut from 2mm stainless steel last week: [ATTACH]143666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]143667[/ATTACH] The holes line up pretty much perfectly though I will tweak the hole size a bit to make them smaller. The backplate has M2.5 threads and screws that small have really tiny heads that would fall through these holes. I'll first wait until finances permit purchasing a decent air cooler for this and then figure out a mounting strategy. The included cooler is woefully under-specced for a 8 core Zen 2 processor.
