March 1, 20206 yr Hi, I'm facing the decision of a purchase of particular hardware and I want to know what do you think about it. I'm talking about threadripper 2970WX and motherboard Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro. Are there perhaps any users running this motherboard or any known problems with this manufacturer / series / model that I should be aware of or by your knowledge it should work just fine? Thanks in advance
March 2, 20206 yr I have this MB with 1920x, no problem found for my use case. ( It doesn't mainly for Unraid ) One complaint, it haven't boot option to UEFI shell in BIOS. Edited March 2, 20206 yr by Benson
March 2, 20206 yr Author Yet, you had the opportunity to test it with unraid with GPU passthrough? If yes, have you found any major problems?
March 2, 20206 yr I have X399 Designare EX which is pretty similar. I passed through my GPU, USB controllers, NVMe etc fine. I am even able to run a single GPU passed through. However, I did dump my own vbios using a second GPU to boot Unraid with before switching to single-GPU. This is where Gigabyte "Initial Display Output" setting in the BIOS comes in very useful since I just need to plug the second GPU in any spare slot, set the BIOS and do the dump. No need for GPU swapping and I have seen a report of vbios dumped on 1 slot not working if GPU is on a different slot. Have a look at my build log for some tips that might be useful.
