Technical Build Advice for do it all machine

I have never messed with VM pass-through as I never had a need to, sounds like a pain on it’s own…

It’s not that difficult on it’s own, it’s just the big navi card and bifurcation leaves me with a bad experience.

Now I must ask the obvious, would it not have been cheaper to buy a new case/mobo then to buy a wx7100 ? But hey, I am a sucker for pain too!

Here’s a link to my build. Maybe that will help you understand why I didn’t want to do that. (Also, the case was $300)

Build Log | Monolith

Alright folks, I’ve been teasing this system for a bit under 6 months now, and I’ve finally got around to writing it up. [IMG_20210420_163028] So in June-ish of 2020, I set out to build the ultimate no-compromises ITX system. I wanted to be able to do passthrough, have lots of CPU power and run in utter silence. I’ve sacrificed only passthrough at the moment, but that’s simply due to a lack of GPU availability. I’ve got a PCIe slot available for the GPU whenever stock becomes available. I chose the SM580 for the ample radiator space, the fact that it’s made in the USA and the solid, solid construction. My intent was to put 2 GPUs in here, a mid-range for Linux and a powerhouse for Windows gaming. At the moment, I’ve only got the 6900xt in there, but that’ll change as soon as stock comes around. I want people who need a first GPU to have a chance to buy before I buy a second. So.
