I had a brief meeting with AMD back in December. Fast forward a month, I've got an Epyc 9554 in one hand... and no parts in the other. Sorry this one took so long to figure out, but now that it's all together, let's have some fun.

So much wasted potential. The saga of the Quanta T22HF Dual-Node Epyc server somehow continues, as a couple viewers of the channel managed to get their hands on the BIOS updates needed to bring Epyc Rome support to these boards. And somehow even the simplest task for this server still mana...

In the world of Small Form Factor GPUs, there aren't a ton of options, especially if you're aiming for high performance. While cards like the RX 6400 and Intel A380 exist, they even struggle at 1080P gaming. Then along came the RTX 4000 ADA Generation SFF, and brought with it a level of performance and size never before seen together.
