July 13, 20232 yr I am building a new server for Unraid and will run 12x 3.5" drives (SAS backplane) and 6x M2 drives with U2. My current mainboard ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI) S-1151 doesn't seem to support PCIe Bifurcation (4x4x4x4), so it's useless unless I make a mistake. Would someone be able to help me with some things? 1. DOES my mainboard support 4x4x4x4 with some bios update? 2. Can someone suggest a good mainboard for Unraid that support 4x4x4x4 that is stable and good, and that have the S-1151 socket (so I can reuse my CPU and RAM) 3. Suggest a 12th gen mainboard 4. Is AMD worth going for if I will do Plex transcoding?
