Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Couple of Questions, if anyhow might be kind enough to chime in. With the Vision-D and a 10900K I am looking to get a 10GbE card. The youtuber margonaut recommended the Asus XG-C100C. Not sure if someone could recommend a different/better option?

Another question is more of a thought. While I run MacOS 99% of the time, with this new system I definitely have the resources to run ESXi (unlocked) and possibly split the system into a MacOS / Windows machine. My thought was to install 2 GPU's, passing through an AMD card to MacOS and an Nvidia card to the Windows VM. Not sure if this would make things easier than having to install Open Core? Is there a huge performance hit to MacOS in ESXi? Would things like ThunderBolt 3 be able to be passed through? I was thinking about having a dual monitor setup and use synergy to pass the keyboard and mouse across the VM's on each monitor. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/input into this scenario doing this with the Vision-D and a 10900K?
 
This might indicate a hardware issue:
  • How many DIMMs are installed?
  • If using 4 DIMMs, try removing two (from either A1/B1 or A2/B2)
  • Also try disabling XMP Profile 1 in BIOS. We can set memory speed manually to 2933 MHz or 266MHz.
I have 2 DIMMS of DDR4 3600 GSkill ram with 16gb in A1 and 16gb in B1. Disabling the XMP profile for the memory fixed the crashing completely and now the system is perfectly stable and has been running for an hour now atleast with no crashes running off the internal ssd. The ram is now running at 2133MHz in macOS but you said it could be manually configured to be faster. I've also noticed that in the about my mac page everything displays correctly except the CPU, it only reads "3.6GHz" instead of "3.6GHz 10-Core Intel i9" not sure if this is an issue. I think thunderbolt may not be working as system information says no thunderbolt driver installed, have to test with UA interface. Definitely getting somewhere as the system runs fully stable now thank you so much

Glad to hear it!

@CaseySJ Alright so thunderbolt works just fine on both interfaces and hard drives, I also got the ram up to 2933mhz with the system stable but thats as high as it will go before things start acting weird. I wasnt able to get the CPU to rename properly and after following the steps posted it now reads as: 3.6Ghz "10-Core

Seems like the name was cut off or didnt handle the quotation right. I followed the steps in this order: downloaded cpu_name_v2.sh.zip, ran the first command then the second (was I supposed to run them as one command?), then created the final command
cd Downloads
./cpu_name_v2.sh "10-Core Intel Core i9-10850k"

Also since about my mac shows a correct serial number is it safe to sign into my apple id?

Thats faster than a 12-core Mac Pro 7,1 :)

yeah - I was like .... how - ran it about 7 times -
(just added that I have a NVMe drive) not sure if that matters
in normal tasks is screams and laughs at everything I use it for

Also recorded 2 mono tracks at 88.2khz for over an hour and 40 min striaght - not one hickup. I even tempted fate and opened the internet, messenger...

on my system I did 1152 D-Verbs across 384 Tracks at 32-sample latency for 91% CPU usage. Bonkers.

Nice!
I'm not sure what DAW your using but in the Logic Pro benchmark session you can find online - I got 56 midi tracks, 96KHz 64 sample -I use Harrison Mixbus v6 32C now and it just breezed thru a 42 track session my old rig was struggling to handle (but I can't complain - that build lasted 8.5 yrs with a CPU upgrade a few yrs back).

I've got logic on my system (have been on it since it was C-Labs Notator ;) ) but my bread and butter is Pro Tools.
