    Need a new motherboard

    in Motherboards and CPUs

    Posted

    My Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi is dying (Known issue but Gigabyte would not acknowledge - Randomly no power unless the battery is pulled to reset CMOS)

     

    Is there a MSI or Asus motherboard out there that has a good IOMMU grouping and the ability to pass the onboard USB controller to a VM.

    Anybody planning a Ryzen build?

    Get a x470 or x570 board. Stay away from the lower end B450 chipsets as they have less PCIe lanes available. I'm using the Asus X470 Prime PRO, and I had some issues getting it stable and setup, but it's OK, but seems people around here like the Gigabyte Aorus X570 boards. ASrock is also heavily used on this forums. Anything along these lines should be fine for your build.

     

    4 X 16 GB of ram will limit your ram speed, depending on if they are dual rank or single rank. Take a look @johnnie.black's posts in the follow thread. My suspicion you will be limited to about 2667 on the memory if you go with 4 dimms. I'm running 4 DIMMS, with two dual rank, and seem to be limited to about 2933 for stability. Anything higher and I seem to get read errors on some of my IronWolfs. 

     

     

    I really like my Gigabtye x570 pro wifi. I can even passthrough a usb controller which is a HuGE plus for me!

    Try adding this to your xml (after the last </hostdev>). Also i assume you deleted the portion of the xml i gave you earlier. 

     

     

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
          <driver name='vfio'/>
          <source>
            <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
          </source>

    </hostdev>

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
          <driver name='vfio'/>
          <source>
            <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/>
          </source>

    </hostdev>

    Yeah I done IOMMU and enabled Svm whilst following space invaders vm tutorial I have turned off acs overide I have a perfect running vm with sound video passthrough and my usb keyboard mouse ect it’s working very well and love it but I wanna get the vr working I’ve tried following guide lines for finding the bus numbers and stuff and tried to follow everything I’ve seen on the unraid forum but to no success I need to try the xml suggested by phat cow but I just wanna check a few things make sure the xml matches my usb configuration don’t want my server getting stuck at boot anymore il have a heart attack if I get much more of it lol 

    If your usb controller is passthrough correctly then your vr stuff should be working as long as they are plugging into the correct usb conntroller. Not sure why you need the bus numbers for your vr equipment.

    Thank you il give it a try is there anything I need to change or look up before inputting the code I’ve got my unraid usb in bios slot which is white my oculus 3x usbs in usb 3.0 ports il save the xml before I change it so I can change it back thank you for your help 👍🏻

    Make sure you update your bios to atleast f10 and make the following changes in the bios:

     

    UEFI / BIOS Settings:

    Tweaker -> Advanced CPU Settings -> SVM Mode -> Enable

    Settings -> Miscellaneous -> IOMMU -> Enable

    Settings -> AMD CBS -> ACS Enable -> Enable

    Settings -> AMD CBS -> Enable AER Cap -> Enable

     

    And in unraid turn off acs override. You will no longer need it.

    OK - GTX1060 arrived and installed.   For some reason, I still don't get the VCN Remote option when the 1060 is passed through (and the 1030) still won't pass through) but I CAN get to it through Splashtop.   Window runs SO SO SO slow.   So slow I haven't had the patience to get in and download the latest drivers for the video card.   So I guess I'm making progress.  🙂

    With tour 1060 passed through (and your vbios). When in windows. Check your cpu usuage by logging into unraid from another device. Does one of your cores pegged to 100%. It took me a good month to have mine setup.

    Yes. The 3900X and 3950X both have 2 CCDs.

    In fact, you can pretty much consider the 3900X / 3950X to be the (improved) successors of the Threadripper 2920X / 2950X.

    The key improvement is having an IO die so you don't have to worry about NUMA node optimisation.

    Which cores should i be assigning to my vm? Similar to the 3950x (last 6 cores)?
