A lot of research on this topic has been done and documented here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/home-lab-threadripper-build-thread.18789497/page-6" rel="nofollow - https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/home-lab-threadripper-build-thread.18789497/page-6 It looks like the issue is specifIc the Taichi board since the ASUS Prime X399 board works out of the box. |

Why people not go to VMWare when an issue arises I will never know. https://communities.vmware.com/message/2699436#2699436" rel="nofollow - https://communities.vmware.com/message/2699436#2699436 |

Wardog, Thank you for adding background to this thread. This thread shows my point, X399 boards work with EX, but the Taichi does not. I would like for the ASRock engineering team to investigate and resolve the compatibility issue. |

Read it carefully, here is the part that matters in the last post: I am not giving up on the Taichi and will build another machine around that at some point to continue working with it as I still feel that it offers a better feature set than the Prime I have replaced it with. Hopefully ASRock and VMWare come through with some kind of fix to make the Taichi viable. Hope this helps... |

| It looks like Bios 3.3 works. I was able to do a clean install onto a usb stick from a usb stick and boot it with sata and nvme drives plugged in. |
