Hi, I have a 3700x in a Asus B450 Gaming Tuf motherboard running the latest Unraid; I had my build all working fine and everything seemed smooth for about 20 after my build, however suddenly the CPU shows I am throttling on every core and I am at 100% load! When I reboot the server my CPU goes back to IDLE speeds, however after about 20 mins or so the CPU goes back up to 100% and wont come back down unless I reboot I have done everything like turn off docker and wiping all my drives but I still got the problem. I even wasnt running anything in the background like docker and VM's but about after two hours the CPU throttled again. So I have re-installed unraid on a new USB but still throttled again. I have tried such things as using the CPU scaling governer from Tips and tweak and changing the settings around (currently 'on demand') but no luck. I have even tried the rcu_nocbs=0-15 on the startup config but still throttles. As mentioned the odd thing was everything was fine about 20 days and suddenly the CPU started throttling. No big changes have happened to unraid and even so as mentioned I wiped and started again with no addons or VM's and yet still throttled. I have also checked the actitvities log and nothing is draining the CPU, however Netdata says the default 'root' is using up all the capacity but it cant tell me what app or what is causing it. Please please can someone help otherwise I fear I may have to ditch Unriad what I really dont wan't to do

Thanks for that I deleted both the sucessful_conversions and the failed_conversion and ran Handbrake again. It didnt work, however the container log is giving more info; Basically it is saying if I want to put media back where it came from the 'SAME_AS_SRC' flag it doesnt exist what is confusing.... I have also attached a pic of my container attached;

I have navigated to that exact folder but there is no log file inside it? Handbrake is running inside my docker on unraid but no log in that folder. This extract is from the bottom of the Unraid Handbrake Docker log. The one when you click on Handbrake in Unraid and then press 'Log'; Any other ideas what could be happening?

Hi, I have setup Handbrake to watch a media folder that I have made on a Download share. However HandBrake wont transcode anything that is put in the folder. I have extraced what I get from the Log; Any ideas how this can be fixed? Many thanks,

By total miracle it has started working!!! A big thank you. My options I have setup if anyone else has a 3600 or a 3700x or a 3800x with a B450 Motherboard with a AMD RX 560, 570 or 580 graphics is to set your VM has these applied like this; Machine; Q35 -4,1 Do not add any additional Sound or graphics only the RX 570 graphics and HDMI sound Get the correct vBios from TechPowerup for your Graphics ROM BIOS In VM settings have PCIE ACS overide set to Disabled Add 'rcu_nocbs=0-*' . (* being your total threads on your CPU) to your SysLinux Configuration on your USB stick In theory this then should work as it has for me....

Thanks for this. I tried what you said but it didnt work I am afraid. I adjusted my VM to be Q35 4.2 with OVMF but no luck. Yeah, the BIOS is up to date on my B450 and yup GPU has slot 16 for OOMMU for both Graphics and the HDMI sound on the card. I also tried your Q35 idea with the vBIOS and also no vBIOS but no luck still.... 😞

Hi All, I am finding my feet with Unraid and loving the flexibility with it. I have messed around with plex and a few other dockers apps and everything seems fine. My build is; AsusTek TUF B450-Gaming Plus MB with latest BIOS update in mid December 2019 AMD 3700X Processor ASUS Strix RX 570 4GB Graphics card 2x 8GB Crosair 2666Mhz RAM 2x Sata 512GB SSD 3x 3TB Spinny 3.5 hard drives I am running Unraid 6.8.1 However when it comes to VM's like Windows 10 and OSX, I cannot get my AMD ASUS RX570 to passthrough to the VM. I have tried the list of things below but no matter I do I get the spinning red arrows when I start either VM and then the whole of UNRAID crashes and I have to hard reboot the whole server. Can anyone help in what I can do. 1. Downloaded the TechPowerup VBIOS for the GPU here and then dropped in in the XML as per spaceinvader One with a Nvidia card but this is a AMD card https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/197590/asus-rx570-4096-170406 2. Turned on ACS on VM settings to 'Downstream' 3. Updated Syslinux configuration with - rcu_nocbs=0-15 (my CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads) Example XML from my Windows 10 VM; <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm'> <name>Windows 10</name> <uuid>ac19db3c-f237-5f0a-3ea8-a25d95c82db5</uuid> <description>Main Windows 10 with RX Graphics</description> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>6291456</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>6291456</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='10'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='11'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-4.2'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/ac19db3c-f237-5f0a-3ea8-a25d95c82db5_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='none'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/Win10_1909_English_x64.iso'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.160-1.iso'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:5f:16:47'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <sound model='ich9'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </sound> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <rom file='/mnt/disk1/isos/Asus.RX570.4096.170406.rom'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0a' slot='0x00' function='0x4'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> </domain> Anybody know what I am doing wrong?
