Since Windows is in a vm, can you pass through your linux /home/ folder and such and have access to all your files natively in Windows?
I'm thinking about a setup like this myself, seems way better than dual booting

No idea.
I do like that the newer Ryzen mobos have encrypted UDMA IOMMU though.
Intels are a bitch because intel doesn't want its consumer CPUs/Mobos being used for virtualization so they remove it.
AMD's are slower but even the consumerist CPUs have virtualization support.
Jow Forumsvfio has much more info than I could give.

Your fault for buying a "gaming" CPU yet alone two of them

read up a bit on gpu pass through, it really is the gaymer/professional gentooman's solution
in short, it makes it so the CPU is shared with the VM and host while the GPU is dedicated for each, making it possible to do video intensive shit in a VM

having a super pc running with gpu passthrough to windows vms for production testing... wet dreams
does ryzen support intel cpus? got corsair ram and 1080ti

I've got something of the sort, dual 24c ES xeons bought off eBay for 1k, mobo as well as ram bought used off amazon
the unparalleled feeling of both CPUs working knowing that I could have very easily gotten chinkd made my month, gpu passthrough was a breeze to set up in arch(I run arch btw), even if I was using two identical gpus for host and vm (gtx 1080's) under win7
since I've got two CPUs I was able to allocate one cpu to the VM, as well as 16 out of the 64 gigs of ram I got
I was extremely lucky for both the mobo and the ram, I got the mobo for 214$ and the 64 stick for 350, which is pretty amazing considering they both have lifetime warranty
the only complaint is that they are both server hardware so they have that ugly blue/green no backplates look that doesn't fit with the graphic cards or case
pic related is as I was testing the first CPU with an old card and an AM3 cooler just sitting on top

two cpus? holy shit
ive got a i7 6850k, will it work?
Andrew Williams
depends on whether your mobo properly supports vt-x and vt-d, you should check that and more online ressources if you're interested
you really don't need two CPUs for it at all, it was just my overkill dream build, you'll be more than fine with a 6850k

had i known about this mobo i might have gotten it
thank you user i will remember this next time i build a 3000 dollar computer
