Hi @brandon-lee 

Please share the IOMMU groups when you are ready with the build.
I am checking the same motherboard and I am interested if it will be possible to Passthrough half of the USB's to VM.

I know that Passthrough  of the PCI-e is available but don't have the groups.
Thank you!

It's alive! 

hardware is running with the bd795m processor

Wanted to share the power draw. There is a setting in the bios of the BD795M called Core Performance Boost. With this turned on, it idles around 40 watts and when I run the S-TUI utility to stress all cores, it bursts to 148 watts. However, if you turn this off, it idles around 27 watts in Proxmox and full load with 32 logical threads running 100% it only draws 67watts.

If you use dual channel ram it will be better.

Hi Brandon Lee,

I came across your video and am planning to use the same motherboard and hardware configuration you used. My goal is to set up this system for AI testing and run LLMs locally. I also plan to install Proxmox as part of the setup.

I need a GPU compatible with the MINISFORUM BD795M. Could you recommend a suitable option—either a specific brand or specifications—that would work well with this build?

I appreciate your insights!

Thanks,

JJ.
