I believe the default answer for you will eternally be, RMA it.

Tear it down and rebuild it physically. Everything; motherboard out of case, CPU out of socket, remove NVME. Shouldn't take long and may expose possible shorts or poor connections. When rebuilding, rebuild with the minimum needed to get into the BIOS, turn off XMP, make sure it is stable and...

I don't know. My comments are solely for a converted IBM M5015 that has been flashed to an LSI 9260 to bypass the very slow boot process (it was like 2 minutes+ if I recall). It is functionally the same card, but the issue is that IBM branded has a different hardware chip than stock/vanilla LSI...

Unknown. I've never tried to cache my arrays, it's pretty speedy for my media server as it is. The information that I've provided is a simple heads up. I just didn't want you to dive in thinking that it will plug and play. I would suggest that you do a bit of research as things may have changed...

The performance key enables everything. The advanced key only does RAID6, RAID60, SED.

I have an IBM M5015 that I flashed back to an LSI 9260 for a couple years now. I think you may have an issue beyond what SSD you'd want to use and that would be that the IBM M5014/5 require the IBM specific key in order to unlock the cachecade. You can find the IBM 'advanced key' everywhere for...

Yes, streams were crossed, 100%

You need to replace that QFLASH button with an Amazon Dash order button for a brand new PC.

It's not a gimmick, it's a convenience. Also, it has been proven well enough that water cooling is better when factoring in the size of the cooling apparatus. Sure, an air cooler can be effective, but it takes up a lot of space and given that PCs are for the most part standardized this becomes...

RMA both Micosoft's and Nvidia's memory managers. #allframesmatter

This is my experience as well. A rare twitch intro ad, nothing otherwise in twitch and YT is without ads all together. Edit: Figured I'd show their stats since I installed it about a year ago. This is only one machine's stats:
