" rel="nofollow - I bought an X399 Taichi with the intent of building a box specifically to be able to set up multiple virtual machines, each with its own ethernet adapter, to be able to virtualize a small office worth of computers as a lab for replicating issues clients are encountering. I have installed a Threadripper 1950X, 64GB of RAM, an NVMe drive in M.2 socket 1, an AMD R9 380X in the first PCIe slot. I am able to install one 4 port NIC adapter in any of the remaining PCIe slots. However, if I try to install the second (and third), booting fails with a boot code of 95 (problem with PCIe). I've tried each of the NIC cards individually. One will work. Two will not. Otherwise the machine works just fine. These are cheap Syba SI-PEX24042 cards. Cheap, yes, but suitable for my needs. I was able to get two to work on an older Gigabyte board with an FX-8350. I believe it should be possible to do this on the Taichi -- until all the lanes are saturated, of course. Surely more than one will work?

This is the issue, without having used these it is impossible to help you. The only advice we can really give here is try using better 4 port NICs. Wardog was not wrong, this is the advice I would give too. You have a resource conflict, that is likely because all the cards are trying to use the same addresses/registers. Unless the cards have a config (jumpers/switches/OPROMs) that allow you to change this I don't see how you can get more than 1 to work. Like you said, cheap. Your issue isn't with the ASRock board, it's with the cheap NICs. -------------

Hey there, I use HP NC364T adapters here, now. They can be gotten off of eBay for under $25ea Each card employs two Intel 82571EB controllers, can install Intel PROSet Utilities, and have a broad selection of drivers available. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_from=R40&_nkw=hp+nc364t&_sacat=20318&_sop=15 |

Thanks. I'll have a look at those. Apparently I lost the compatibility lottery with the ones I had and this motherboard. Sometimes that's how it is.
