July 18, 20196 yr I have moved my old UnRAID server to a GA-AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard with a Ryzen 7 1700. One of my main reasons for the upgrade was to support a Windows VM with a Pass-Thru graphics card and USB pass-thru. This post is more of an informational post about what I discovered. The move from the old Intel based box went perfectly. I just moved the USB boot with the SSD Cache and UnRAID array disks. Everything came up perfectly. The SMB shares and Emby Docker came up without changes. The only issue I had was needing to change static IP on the router since the mac address was different. My problem was with setting up a Windows VM. I was able to install a basic Windows VM without a problem but I was not able to get the GPU to pass-thru. I tried multiple AMD and Nvidia Video cards without success. Ultimately the problem was with the BIOS. Before I started the move I upgraded the BIOS on the GA-AX370 to F31. This turned out to be an issue. I later upgraded to the F40 BIOS but it also did not work as expected. I ended up down grading to the BIOS version I had before the upgrade which was F23. After installing F23 I was able to get the Video Card to pass-thru to the VM without a problem. I was not able to get any on-board USB controllers to pass-thru to the VM. I had to add a PCIe add-on USB controller to get that working. I will update this post if I find out anything that might benefit other user of this motherboard. Edited July 18, 20196 yr by SWKerr
