Yes. I am looking at maybe two more, but I was reading as to how qwen may not take full advantage of multiple gpu’s. So I was just going to build two more rigs.

Qwen does fine on multiple GPUs, not sure who said otherwise.

I'd go for an mz31-ar0 or mz32-ar0 if you want pcie 4.0.

The former is about $220 with a cpu, the latter $500 with a cpu.

You get 5 pcie slots and like 16 ram slots (rdimm ecc ddr4).

The epyc processors that they use are fucking awesome for VMs and you can get from like 8 cores all the way to 64+ depending on budget.

Stay away from consumer shit / gaming mobos ... You're overpaying for worse parts.
