Q670 Question - Enquiries - 04-26-2025
Hi friend! Been a fan for a few months now and am finally putting together my first rack after many hours of reading and watching you. I have a quick question for you regarding the White Q670. So, I decided to go for this board as it was the best middle ground for my use case (and the ssd’s I already have)…regardless of the concerns about ASPM/low C states.
I am curious if you had any further investigation with this mobo and could share any insight? I have a note sheet with all of the bios settings to try and achieve low power. A couple people have it sounds like in the more recent half year, which some getting to C8 (but couldn’t use the two front nvme slots and something else I’m blanking on… the PCIe slot?). I’m not too worried about power tho, only running 2-3 nvme and 8 2.5” ssd’s, but am going to try. I will compile all my info for you as well!
My main concern is using the pcie slot. Hoping I can use the 8x8 feature to 10gbe x710 (efficient and ASPM compatible) and 2x nvme card

Hey there,
Using 8x8 for a 10GbE X710 (which supports ASPM well) and a 2x NVMe card should work, but you may need to tweak BIOS settings manually (PCIe Link State, ASPM settings, etc.).

I recommend checking DMI link states too if you're aiming for efficiency. Power-wise, your setup sounds very manageable.
