" rel="nofollow - I've noticed that IOMMU groups of this motherboard changed going from 3.10 to 4.50, noticeably

IOMMU Group 9 00:08.0 Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) PCIe Dummy Host Bridge [1022:1452]

Group 20 and Group 21 are now fairly small and feature just one single device.
In the light of this I wanted to ask if it's possible to separate at least some of the smaller PCIe slots away from Group 13 by a BIOS update? As you can see I have a USB controller plugged into one of the slots, and regrettably it always shows up in group 13 alongside Ethernet controller and whole other USB controller (on-board).

If it is possible to split these groups it would make this board a whole lot better for VFIO, even though its GPU isolation is already great.

Hey Neo,

That is a question you will need to direct to Tech Support Directly.
