ASRock x570 Creator with Mac OS VM Build Questions

[mafoster]

Hi everyone

 

Looking to upgrade my current Unraid server that I have been using for Plex and a MacOS VM. Given the performance on my old 6th gen Intel i5, I’m looking to upgrade to a Ryzen 3rd gen and thinking of getting the ASRock X570 Creator for its 10Gbe Ethernet and Thunderbolt 3. 
 

Curious if anyone has tried this motherboard and can report on what worked and want hasn’t in terms of pass through, ideally for MacOS. 

 

I would also like to see if someone can provide the IMMO groups.

 

thanks in advance!

I have the X570 Creator. Here are the IOMMU groups after the BIOS tweaks.

Note that USB passthrough with these X570 board is not great. One of the controllers does not support Reset and the other requires a bit of config editing to passthrough properly. Basically everything in this thread applies to this board as well:

Thanks for the info @johnsanc 

 

After long debates with myself and researching boards, I ended up going with the ASRock X570 Taichi as it appears to be more documented on this forum. Plus I got my board for much less than this one. May add a TB3 and 10GBe card down the road however which should make the passthrough a bit easier.
