I have got an ASROCK X99 WS-E system which is running Proxmox. It works mostly fine for me. However, I wonder if there are hidden features in the BIOS that could be unlocked. The last BIOS I could update is v3.60.
Edit by Fernando: Thread title shortened
There could be…the main questions here is, aren’t you happy with the system stability?
Are you looking for a specific setting, that could exist in hidden bios options…maybe?
Does it worth the risks of unlock/mod flash bios?
Most of this options are hidden for a reason…they are not for “general” users
Still IFR extractor, AMIBCP or UEFI Editor can show you those…
Good luck.
EDIT: You should have mentioned that initialy…for that (X79/X99), there’s plenty of guides in the forum, have you try to use the search box and look for “Bifurcation”…? Lets try that…
Not that I am not happy. It works pretty good for me. I wish I could do bifurication and add in a 2 or 4 port NVME PCIe adapter. At the moment I have a single port NVME PCIe adapter. The motherboard NVME slot is gen2 x4 and is used mainly for Linux vm’s.
I have occupied 6 out of the seven PCIe gen3 x16 slots.
Asrock X99 WS-E motherboard, Intel E5 2680 V4 CPU, 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM, 1TB NVME onboard - used for varies other vm’s.
Single port NVME adapter with a 2TB NVME
10GB Network card
1 250GB SATA SSD - Proxmox boot drive.
2 1TB HDD - not really used for much as of now.
5 port USB gen3 adapter - dedicated to main Win10 vm.
NVIDIA Quadro P2000, 1 Samsung 28" 4K monitor - dedicated to main Win10 vm.
AMD WX3100 - 2nd Samsung 28" 4K monitor - dedicated to Proxmox VE with Cinnamon as GUI. Yeah I use this system as Desktop as well.
AMD RX580 - 3rd Samsung 28" 4K monitor - dedicated to Linux, OSX or any other vm I like to play with. I will replace the RX580 with another single slot AMD WX7100 graphics card.
This way I free up PCIe slot 7 for something to be installed.
Edit: Thanks for your replay MeatWar. This Asrock motherboard does not show an option for Bifurication. I did a search only for this particular motherboard.
