Maddeen Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Hi there, due to the very good price I plan to send my i7 6700 to the retirement and make a change to AMD Ryzen 9 (or) 7 series with a B550 board Depends on the keynote tomorrow. Can some one provide me some information that can be very essential or maybe some incompatibility with unraid? About my unRAID server/ my needs / requirements: Running unRaid headless (HDMI dummy at the HDMI Mainboard-Port) Using plex/pi-hole as dockers And running only one Win10 Gaming VM - Q35 with a passthrough NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super // a NVMe Samsung 970 m.2 and an USB controller for separate keyboard/mouse. In addition to have more SATA ports I also installed a PCI-E extension card with a JMicron JMS585 chipset. And I plan to add a 10GB-NiC asap - either by another PCI-E extension card or maybe built-in in my new B550 board. (not sure if there is any MB with a 10GB-NiC) If anybody got a recommendation for a 10Gbe PCI-E extenstion card --- you're welcome What I know so far is not that much 🙈 I just found out that I need to buy a cheap PCI-E GPU because the AMD CPUs dont have a IGPU. And thats it - I doesn't found any further problems/challenges for Ryzen 9/7 - all other struggels seems to relate on using a Threadripper. Thanks in advance for any help or information regarding my planed upgrade. Edited October 11, 2020 by Maddeen Quote Link to comment

Maddeen Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Ok - After analyzing a lot of mainboard test regarding PCI-E Lane Sharing, SATA-Ports and M.2 connectivity - only two mainboards remain to fit my needs. 1) ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) 2) Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE Are there some members here who already have one of those in combination with a Ryzen CPU and can share their experience? Thanks in advance - have a nice weekend. Quote Link to comment

Cliff Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (non-wifi). I would not recomend you to buy this board. I have two gpus but can only use one of them as the system hogs one of them and stubbing does not make any difference. I have a multi-controller USB pci-e x4 whitch I can't connect, so I had to use a single controller usb x1 to be able to get some more usable usb-ports for vm's. Adding a third pci-x1 gpu to use as dummy disables the network. 1 Quote Link to comment
