September 7, 20232 yr So I'm in the process of doing a new unraid build. Here is the hardware I have purchased: Now when I do my first boot, which settings in the BIOS should I be changing? I know I will adjust XMP settings for the Ram and turn on IOMMU settings. Are there any other settings that it generally recommended to change or turn on in the BIOS? Thanks

I usually don't mess with the bios settings unless 'something' is't working or some setting is needed for a specific purpose.
September 9, 20232 yr Author I knew I wanted change the XMP settings for the memory. I also checked on virtualization, which seems like it is turned on by default on my motherboard. I'm using an intel i3-13100 & the motherboard is an ASRock Z790 PRO RS WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard.

It's generally not a good idea to enable XMP on a server, the minimal performance difference isn't worth the risk of crashes.
