x-dast

After a few tests and playing around with the container, I just wanted to completely reinstall it. But I can't find the container in the apps anymore. I only see the container of linuxserver.io and the nextcloudpi. Where is the container of the forum thread here. Has it been deleted?

Ok, problem seems to be the RTX2080. If I remove the RTX2080, the power consumption drops down to 40-50W. I think that Unraid does not set the GPU in powersave and therefore still always runs in performance mode. Windows in the VM sets the RTX2080 correctly in powersave. I hope this will be fixed in a next update, so that the VM doesn't always have to run.

After further testing, it seems that there are CPU driver problems in Unraid (apparently with the CPU c-state and p-state). Unraid + 1 SSD running + all HDD in standby: 80-90W idle Unraid + 3 SSD running + all HDD in standby + Windows VM running (6 cores and RTX2080 passthrought): 40-50W idle I hope that this will be fixed in an upcoming update with the 5.x kernel.

In Unraid all HDD are in standby.

Which GPU? The Intel GPU or the PCIe? Booth are not in use on Unraid (80-90W, also with PCIe GPU removed). In Windows the Intel GPU is in use (40-50W).

The only problem I still have is that the power consumption with Unraid is in idle at about 80-90W and 40-50W with Windows on the same hardware. And I don't know why. CPU freq idle with Unraid is at about 800 - 900MHz and 900MHz - 1,5GHz with Windows. What the heck is Unraid doing?

In addition to my tests I have now added "intel_pstate=disable" to the file "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" and disabled pstate drivers. My i9-9900 now correctly clocks down permanently at 900MHz in idle. I have solved my problem with this change. Original post:

That is correct. The behaviour is the same with me. However, it doesn't explain why unraid doesn't downclock the CPU and run above 4GHz permanently. Windows on the other hand clocks the CPU down to about 1GHz-2GHz correctly.

I have now also tested the problem with an older unraid version. With version 6.7.2 the CPU is correct clocked down to 800MHz-1,5GHz.

The lowest possible frequence for i9-9900 is 800MHz. All core boost is disabled in BIOS. What I don't understand is, that the tips & tweak Plugin has "Governor: Performance" after every reboot but in the settings i have set it to "Power Save". Also the plugin "system profiler" has for the CPU "Max Speed: 8300 MHz" which is not correct. Is there a unraid 6.9 with Kernel 5.4 what i can test?

I have tested this with Windows on the same hardware and Windows does its job correctly. The CPU is not continuously above 4GHz. Windows correctly clocks the CPU down to about 1-2 GHz. This also reduces the power consumption from over 100W down at about 50W. So this must be a bug in Unraid.

Hi, im using a Core i9-9900 (not k version) and a Gigabyte z390 UD Mainboard with unraid 6.8.1 and the cpu does not go in power save mode. In Gigabyte bios all settings for power saving are active but the cpu is not clocking itself down. Also in unraid i have tips & tweaks installed and "CPU Scaling Governor:" set to "Power Save". The cpu is always over 4GHz and only goes down to 1GHz for a second and then again immediately over 4GHz. Cpu usage at all cores are at 0 - 1%. Are there currently problems in unraid 6.8.1 or settings that I need to adjust? I don't know what else I can do. There are no more settings in Bios. Thanks for any help.

I have build a new unraid server with an Gigabyte rtx2080 (not super) and have the same problem with high idle power draw (~120W). Is there any fix for the high idle power draw or must i buy another card?
