AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with MSI X670E Tomahawk

Don’t know if the onboard Wi-Fi works, suspend doesn’t work.

So fare, everything else seems to be working.

Not sure how many of the USB controllers can be used by Qubes OS, but I think it’s 3.

R4.2.2 needs latest kernel when installing, and don’t enable sys-usb during the installation. The motherboard firmware needs to be updated to the latest version, for the Ryzen 9000 to work.

Am interested to hear more about performance and stability when/if you get more time with this hardware on Qubes. :+1:

Been using it for 2 days now without any issues.

Performance is very good, feels similar to an i9 K, but without the E cores.

It has been completely stable, I’ve not had any crashes. I’ve been running GPU pass-through, streaming video, etc., everything seems to work just fine.

Thanks for being one of the first to share about this CPU!
The performance must be wicked. Enjoy it!

Sounds great. This or something like it is probably my upgrade path if no widespread issues pop up in the near term.
