Just got the new Jonsbo N2, pretty much perfect for what I wanted - a mini itx sized enclosure with enough space for my 3 HDD’s (can take 5) It comes fitted with a hotswap backplane but I unscrewed and removed this to help with airflow. Really cool little case, can imagine these are going to be quite popular.

Would you mind explaining the process you used? Thanks Edit: NVM I figured it out. Works great Thanks for sharing folks.

Can one of you guys please guide me on what to do here? I have the same issue with my Win 10 VM and I’d love to replay RDR2. Worked fine up until the patch.

Apologies for the delayed response. After fiddling in the BIOS and re-enabling power saving, the VM is now booting within 15 seconds or so from vdisk. Performance state during VM boot seems to have caused the issue. I'll need to try passing the controller through on a second VM now. Hopefully it's sorted.

Sorry, meant to say I'm passing through the 970 EVO Plus. Both 970 Pro's are being used in the cache pool. I have bound the 970 EVO Plus NVME controller using the VFIO-PCI Config plugin. I'll attach my diagnostics zip when I get back from work this evening, thanks. I have gone through the BIOS a few times looking for anything out of place but I'll do as you've recommended and double check there are no power saving features left enabled. I'll also try dropping out the USB controller and/or removing the keyboard and mouse see if that helps.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. As the title suggests, when I assign more than 2GB RAM to my Windows 10 VM it takes longer than expected to start, followed by a 'guest has not initialized the display (yet)' delay, then a long wait at the Tianocore logo screen before finally booting Windows. I have 10 cores 20 threads pinned and would ideally like to assign >64GB RAM. I'm passing through my Samsung 970 EVO PLUS NVME controller, a GTX 1660 Super and the onboard ASMedia USB 3.0 controller. Full tower spec Intel Xeon 2673v4 ASUS X99 WS/IPMI 128GB 4 x 32GB Samsung ECC (M393A4K40CB1-CRC) Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super EVGA GTX 1660 ASUS ROG Areion 10gb nic 2 x 1TB Samsung 970 Pro (cache pool) 1 x 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus (pass through drive for VM) 2 x WD 12TB (shucked from Elements) 1 x WD 14TB (shucked from Elements) RM 650W Corsair Power Supply I have tried pinning fewer cores/threads, lowering allocated RAM to 2GB and while it does seem to help it's not going to be any good in the long term. Similar posts I found while googling are years old, some state slow boot (GPU passthrough with high RAM allocation) has since been fixed. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I can post my VM XML later if it helps? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
