Interesting! And how about the IOMMU groups on this board? Can you decipher any information for them from the block diagram?

Ohhhh!!! So how would one got about adding another M2 slot or two if needed? Would that be possible via some sort of extension card in one of the PCI 4 slots? Would it still be fast? Im really bad at reading block diagrams. Would you be able to tell from the diagram if all of the PCI slots and the M2 SSD slot would be getting their own IOMMU groups? Or are some of them grouped together? (Or does a block diagram not even tell you this?)

Same. My only hope is to find someone with this board that is doing something similar. I was really set to buy this one until just now. Lol

Dang it. That makes this board a little less desirable for me. yes you can but for gaming it is best to pass the bare metal m2 card for maximum speed. It’s quite a bit faster that way. I’m actually surprised how limited the IOMMU groups are on this board compared to my current Asus board. TBH I’m also confused why all the M2’s are in the same group. I thought the first M2 slot was CPU direct and the others on the chipset. I thought that for sure would make them separate groups. But then again I really don’t know too much about IOMMU and how it all works.

Thank you so much!!! Seems like it’s bad news for me, though. Appears like all of the SATA and M2 devices are all in group 4, right? I can’t really spot your Crucial P3 M2, though. Is it part of group 4 as well?

Could you post images of your tools -> system devices output from Unraid? Like my screenshots attached? I should be able to gather some information from that I think. Thank you!

This is FANTASTIC!! By any chance could you shed some light on the IOMMU groupings of this board? Will it be possible to pass the PCI 5.0x16, one of the PCI 4.0 and the main M2 drive to a VM separately? I would like to bind those to the VM but non of the documentation has block diagrams.

Haha dang. I’m gonna buy in November.

Yeah so on paper this board looks really nice! Just need to figure out the IOMMU grouping. Are you going to purchase it?

I’m building this as a Plex/gaming vm so I’d put an RTX 4070 into the PCI 5.0x16 CPU slot. Then for the other slots I’d really only need one 10GB Ethernet card and one USB 3 extension card (to pass through to my VM) and maybe in the future another SATA extension card for spinning hard drives. So no SSD storage would go into any of the PCI slots. my biggest worry is the IOMMU configuration, though. As I can’t find anything on this and I need to pass a couple of things into my VM. (Graphics card, usb3 extension card, and one of the M2 drives)

I love that the ASRock has more PCI slots! Can they all be used at the full bandwidth, at the same time, though? Or will there be some sort of bottlenecks when all PCI slots and M2 slots are used? That would be my concern. Also do we know how well the ASRock would do with virtualization? Are the IOMMU groups known?

So I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts about ECC RAM vs “regular” RAM on this board. I was looking at the G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6400. How much faster would this be for gaming compared to the 4800 ECC? Also, if you go with the ECC RAM can you still overclock the CPU via XMP profiles or is that only possible with faster RAM? I’m basically going to use my Unraid machine as my Plex server and virtual Gaming machine. So I’m unsure which way to go in regards to RAM.

that’s encouraging to hear. Hopefully someone with the full ATX Version can chime in as well. Hoping all the PCI slots will have their own IOMMU group as well. I also saw the board has 4 DDR RAM slots. Is it okay to just populate two of them or should you always populate all 4? Most DDR kits come in a set of two.

Hey guys, I’m also considering this board for my Plex/VM gaming machine but I have some questions about the IOMMU groupings. I’d like to pass (bind) the following directly to my VM: - RTX 4070 located in PCI 5.0x16 slot - USB 3 card located in PCI 3.0x1 slot - One of the three M2 slots (for bare metal SSD access on the VM) Then I’d like to use the two remaining PCI 3.0x4 slots for a 10G network card and a SATA expansion card. Those two would be used by the Unraid OS, though, and NOT passed on the the VM. Would that be possible with this board? I can’t find any schematics that outline the IOMMU groupings. Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS: and just to confirm it is possible to use the IPMI card while using the igpu for Plex transcoding and the RTX4070 for my VM? A monitor would always be connected to the RTX4070 but it would be excluded from Unraid used (via binding to the VM)

Have you figured this one out yet?

WOW! That fixed it! I also set “Local Server Uses NAT” to “No” in the Wireguard VPN settings. I don't understand why this fixed it, though. I previously had Wireguard installed in Docker on a raspberry pi and I never had to set up a static route on my router to be able to access all networks. Not sure if you have any more time but I would love to understand what the static route did to make this work and why it wasn't needed for my previous setup. Thank you!!!

I set up Wireguard and added a peer (Remote access to LAN). I can successfully reach all of the devices that are on the same network as my Unraid Server. However, I can not access any of my devices on my other networks. There are no firewall rules preventing traffic between my networks and I confirmed via Terminal that the Unraid Sever itself can ping all of my other network devices. Wireguard Configuration: My Unraid Server is on 10.0.40.2. When connected via Wireguard I can reach all devices that are on the same network address (i.e 10.0.40.112) but I can not reach devices on any of my other networks (i.e. 10.0.50.2) Have I configured something wrong? The Unraid machine itself has access to all of those devices. Why can't I access them when connecting to the server via Wireguard?

Hey @Fredrick did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue. I set up Wireguard and can access anything on the network the server is on but I can access any of my devices on my other networks even though the unraid server itself can ping them.

Hey @tknx did you ever figure this out? I'm experiencing the same issue.

This is currently broken in Plex. You can either install an earlier version of Plex (forget which one) or wait for Plex to finally fix this. It’s been broken for about 6 weeks I think.

How can you manually install this?

I have iperf3 installed from nerdpack. Would be awesome to have this included in UnRaid by default.

Beim Neustart (nicht beim ausschalten) von meiner VM kam es oft zu einem crash. Meist hat es dann auch das web interface von meinem Unraid system mit runter gerissen. Weiss noch nicht ob das AMD plugin hier hilft. Habe es gerade eben erst installiert. Ich habe auch die 5700XT. Hier ein paar tips wie ich sie zum laufen bekommen habe: Q35 machine in VM settings Follow this video to put Graphics and Sound Card on same virtual slot: Bisher laueft jetzt alles sehr stabil. Hoffe das das AMD plugin mit dem reboot hilft.

Ach was. Das ist ja mal erfreulich!!! Und wie genau funktioniert dieses Plugin? Also was macht es genau um zu verhindern das man ständig UnRaid Neustarten muss um die amd Karte wieder in der VM zu nutzen? Und verhindert es auch den UnRaid Crash beim reboot der VM oder hat das einen anderen Grund?

Hallo @ich777 um noch mal kurz das Thema vom Anfang des Threads aufzugreifen: um AMD Vendor Reset zu benutzen muss ich es lediglich aus dem app store installieren und das war es? Oder muss ich noch irgendetwas anderes konfigurieren? Ich versuche damit den restart bug von meiner 5600XT zu eliminieren. LG
