I have (probably) the same problem here but with X520 cards: booting
4.12.x gives me oops after circa 20 minutes of our workload. Booting
4.9.y is OK. This machine is in production so any testing is very
limited.
Machine was stable for >2 months (on the desk before got to
production) with 4.12.8 but with no traffic on X520 cards.
Cheers,
Vita
