Hello,
it's me again.
Some of you might remember me from this post,
in which I was asking for feedback to build a Linux PC in 2025.
Stuff happened and I didn't went through with it.
So this still my first attempt at a build.
Well now I've got time and want to try it again.
As you may notice,
I've ditched the Z790-9 mother board in favor of a MSI PRO B650M-P.
My dream of building a coreboot-system is officially dead,
thus I decided to build an AMD-System.
If you notice anything wrong
or have suggestions/improvements don't hesitate to point them out.
Thanks in advance!!!

How do you not configure the network stack? If you have an Intel NIC on the motherboard/any PCIE lanes in theory it should be able to connect.
What worries me is that someone could perform a reverse shell on my system with/in addition to a magic packet and get full ring 0 access to my system. I'm investigating network monitoring tools that can help me find traces of ME on my network.
How did you list your hardware like that? Where it shows the key specifications for each part as bullet points, not the bullet points though, if that makes sense. I know how to make bullets, I mean the data.
Was is generated with a script or did you copy and paste individual part stats from their website specs or some other way?
I have a few ways to generate info, like with inxi or searching pcpartpicker, but there often there is not enough info, important info that is missing, far too much info about stuff I don't care about or I have to spend a lot of time searching for specific data and have to copy and paste each feature for each part individually which can be too time consuming.
What you have shows pretty much exactly what I would like, so I could easily share when needed.
AI is a different beast altogether, maybe I missed that use case in this or your previous post. From what I've read, rocm support for the 9070 cards is still being worked on.
Edit: Just learned to stay away from the keyboard until after coffee. Also, GPU pricing is horrible all around.
I have ollama running locally on my RX9070, I have to use kernel 6.14 since it's such a new GPU.
The 16G VRAM means I can run decent models, faster than I can read.... currently running gemma3:12b, it's crazy fast.
How quantized? I don't think 16GB of RAM is enough to run a full fat 12B model at FP16 but maybe I'm wrong.
Nvidia cards are just too expensive
Since you have a similar setup. I have a question for you.
The motherboard was released in 2023. I've read that most suppliers drop the firmware support after 3-5 years.
What I am asking is, is it worth in your opinion to buy this motherboard or should I look for a newer model instead?
I don't know, I never really thought about that. I had my previous mobo for about 10 years and at that point it was becoming a problem, but for the first 7 years or so it worked fine. After 7 years there would be a new CPU socket anyway, so it would be a good time to upgrade.
This is my build:
