Hi All,
I am currently using AM4 platform on Proxmox hypervisor with the bellow config:
ASUS X570 Creator WIFI
AMD Ryzen 5950X
Cooler Thermal right Assassin RGB
4X32Go DDR4 128G 3600Mhz
GPU RTX 3090 Founder Edition X2
SSD 990 Pro 4To X3
1000W FSP Fortron Hydro TI PRO ATX 3.0 80+TITANIUM
Case Fractal design torrent compact.
Unfortunately I am bandwidth limited and gpu performance is dropping when using my 2 gaming VM.
My goal is to build a Hybrid Gaming-Workstation with the bellow use case.
2X Gaming Windows 11 Pro VM's with 2 RTX 3090 passthrough (4K Gaming)
1X Truenas or Unraid VM (haven't decided yet) with HBA and 10gb Nic passthrough
1X MacOS VM with GPU passthrough
1X Frigate VM with gpu and coral passthrough
1X Home assistant VM with usb passthrough
1X Docker VM with couple of self hosted services
I am leaning toward a TRX50 + 7960X for the moment but I still did not find the perfect motherboard for me.
The ideal board should run :
Must have :
- 3 GPU at full bandwidth (2 X RTX 3090 + 5600 XT)
- onboard 10gb + support for additional 10 SFP+ NIC
- 1 HBA CARD
- 3 Nvme SSD
Nice to have :
- IPMI Support
- TB4 or USB4 with ALT DP
And finally the case, this is a big one as I am intending to rack mount the workstation so my ideal case would house everything + a 360 rad for the CPU cooling + min 8 hot swapable 3.5 HDD Storage.
Don't hesitate to give your insights about this setup and or propose better suitable hardware.
Thank you all
