Ok i bought this board too a few months back and now got everything installed. i was SUPER excited about IPMI as this is one of my biggest headaches... my server is somewhat out of reach and when there was issues i would have to get a keyboard out and a small rasp-pi screen to trouble shoot... BUT, as i read here there are some real issues on this board... either board or how it plays with unraid... I have it along side a i5-14400 with the iGPU... But when you use the IPMI card, the setting in BIOS for IGPU/Multi monitor are not there... and of course when you go to unraid the Intel GPU plugin wont detect it... meaning you cant use it for Plex trans coding... the whole point was to get rid of my P2000 GPU... I noticed when using the IPMI card the HDMI output doesn't work correctly either... there is only PCIe and one other in the BIOS... no iGPU... But... remove the IPMI card... then everything works... Has anyone figured this out? there most be a way to use the iGPU and the IPMI card... There most be some way... dummie HDMI, setting in the IMPI?? thanks for the help.

Look I understand it’s still in its infancy and I really respect and admire all the testing and work around people are doing…. Especially because in practice this/these cards show big promise to us… but looking at the data given I still see it’s far from a viable option. I run the Quadro P2000…. It idles at 6w and about 18++w when transcoding… I’ll max have 4-6 users transcoding Plex at a time… I run it along side a i7-7700. I of course want quality and I care about power… that’s also why I didn’t upgrade to 13th gen and just use the iGPU ad if that’s running it’ll use even more power than the p2000… and at the end of the day the p2000 just works…. whats your experience for the others that run/ran the quadro? Have you switched to IGPU or the ARC gpu? Results? Feelings?

i just got a new z790 and same issue... i actually did return it... fan control based on hhd temp is important for my setup... i really want a new 13 gen but not willing if ita not supported completely yet... how did you build turn out?

Hello Kopernikus, just to keep a bit of life in your question. I am looking to upgrade my Gaming PC to an 11700k.... i dont want to make the same mistake i made before so this time i want my gaming PC should have a Motherboard that can later be used when i upgrade my Unraid server.... (today i have a WS ASrock with a i7-6700) i too am trying to fine a good mobo and came across the same one as you... The Gigabyte W480... What i REALLY like about it... besides the 8 sata, the internal USB connector (for unraid) and the PCI lanes, is that it looks like you can nearly populate the whole board... all PCI, SATA, and m.2 with there only being 1 conflict... the m2m (second m.2) and PCI x4 is on the same lane.... but almost all consumer boards... (that i see in the z570 or z590) have so many compromises... meaning you cant fully utilize the board... (for unraid) Let me know what you ended up doing.... but it looks like a GREAT board. But the sort answer is... what do you really need... i have a lot of disks... and i need... at least 1 GPU for docker (plex mostly) - Quadro P2000 1 GPU for casual mining - old 1080ti 1 LSI card to expand 8 SATA (plus the 8 on the board) 2 m.2 in raid 1 for plex Cache 4 SSD for general DL cache and general cache (in raid 10) MEANING... this seems to me the only board that can do that.... (or at least i cant find another board Z590... that can do that) PS As far as i read the 11th gen works fine on this board. A fellow unraider.

Thanks for the work... It's was up and running together with the other nicehash rig in a matter of minutes. That being said... This unraid server is my media server and I just want to run my Nvidia p2000 at like 50% in the background.... But it's running at 65/75w with about 80°c which I don't want... Did anyone find how to limit the card? I tried nvidia-smi -pl 50 (since my card is 75w) But gets returned "50w is not a valid power limit which should be between 75 and 75w" Any ideas ( sorry guys... I know this might be an easy fix) Thanks

Thanks man... Like it was posted before, it's hard to find the answer... And sometimes it's good to just try stuff out on unraid and other times it's good to ask that stupid question.... "There is no such thing as stupid questions, unless you ask it twice" Confirmed 1 GPU can be used for multiple dockers.

Hello Gents, Sorry to come in again on this but i still was not sure... My use case is i have a Nvidia P2000 assigned to plex but i now would like to ALSO use Emby... can i assign both plex and emby on the same GPU? and they would both be able to trans-code at the same time?> Thanks
