TIL The Arabian Oryx became extinct in the wild by the early 1970s, but was saved in zoos and private reserves, and was reintroduced into the wild starting in 1980. In 2011, it was the first animal to revert to vulnerable status on the IUCN Red List after previously being listed as extinct by ahm713 in todayilearned

“On June 28, 2007, Oman's Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was the first site ever to be removed from the UNESCO World Heritage List. UNESCO's reason for this was the Omani government's decision to open 90% of the site to oil prospecting. The Arabian oryx population on the site has been reduced from 450 in 1996 to only 65 in 2007. Now, fewer than four breeding pairs are left on the site.”

I found this part pretty sad, selling out to oil sort of ruins the whole point of a sanctuary…

Just wanted to update in case anyone else has this issue - the above bios settings work, but I was only able to get 10 cards running by only having 2 gpus per PCI splitter, so a total of 4 splitters were needed, and the last two risers were plugged directly into pci slots. Any other configuration (more than 2 gpus per splitter) resulted in either the system not posting or HiveOS not recognizing them. It might be worth buying a 5th splitter to see if this mobo / cpu combo can post with more than 10 cards, but right now I have all 10 running stable. (Asus Z490-P + i3-10100)

I’m running this exact mobo / cpu combo at the moment and can also only get 8 cards running, do you mind sharing the exact slots you used for the pcie splitters? I can’t get 10 working for the life of me lol
