    Very nice, what other hardware have you paired this with.

    Everything gone smoothly? Any quirks?

    Re: My latest build - Threadripper 1950X

    I've heard from a couple of sources that X399 is still a bit immature. Any problems your end?

    I was thinking of threadripper but went Ryzen 8 core myself. Want to keep the costs down and won't use it for anything but crypto, so spent on the GPU...

    Well, my use case is to achieve virtualisation in Linux via KVM/IOMMU, and Fedora 26 makes this super simple.

    So far, I've had no issues - already been able to get Ubuntu VMs running. Any issues are resolved by the fairly frequent AGESA updates (in the form of new UEFI releases).

    The trick is to pick a 'good' Linux friendly motherboard. L1Techs cover these in detail and so far the MSI X399, Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 (mine) are two of the 'friendliest'.

    IOMMU groupings however is a whole different cat, and that's where things many be a bit iffy - like on my Gigabyte board. There's an AGESA update from AMD to allow full-RAID across all M.2s (without a lame lock like Intel's VRock), and I'm wondering if the IOMMU groupings would shift at that point.

    Yup - my goal is to virtualise most of it via KVM in Fedora 26. Already got it working, just need to make the time to finish my setup. Doing a pfSense router build at the same time so I'll swing back to this soon.

    That looks slick, fingers crossed that your quad channel kit works straight out of the box

    what you doing with this rig now Mike?

    Is it still making you smile, and doing it's tasks?
