The Black Bear - Threadripper 2990WX build
Last update: 30/07/2020
After a few months of researching, prepping my data, persuading she-who-must-be-obeyed, etc. I finally pulled the plug when Amazon finally has my motherboard in stock. I had a i7-5820K (overclocked to 4GHz) and a Xeon E3-1245v5 server (ITX case) but it was more out of necessity since I wasn't able to afford Dual Xeon to merge them and still have sufficient performance. The 2990WX came out at just the right price point that makes the idea possible.
Hello @testdasi,
Amazing thread! A lot of great information here. I am using the same MOBO currently (had to replace a x399 that died recently).
Can i ask you what settings you used on the BIOS to get the USB to boot ? I created it using the UNRAID boot maker. It has been years since i had to finagle with the gigabyte bios and i am completely at a loss after reading the Limeware 'getting started guide'
If you could help shed any light on this situation it would be greatly app
