    @patm95 When I first ordered my 1950x in dec 2017 short after release there where not much good cooling solutions out there. I ordered a Noctua NH-U14S and it worked great with stock cpu speeds. I later decided to push the CPU clocks to see how far I can go. Luckily my chip clocks at 4GHz on all cores with only 1.275V without getting to hot. On full load it barely scratches 70°C with air cooling. I've noticed that with 1.275V only, I had a real good chip on hand. In most reviews you see they needed 1.4 or even more to reach a stable 4GHz OC. I wantet to push it even further and I looked up for all the available AIO's out there.

     

    All AIO liquid coolers back than which not fully covered the IHS performed worse in all the tests i saw compared to the Noctua. The only option was Enermax Liqtech 240 and 360 with full IHS coverage which I ordered a couple months later. The 360 brought my temps down in the mid 60s under full load @4GHz. For 4.1 I had to raise the vcore to 1.5 to get it stable. For a 24/7 this wasn't an option and to risky, so I turned it back down to 4GHz @1.275V. 4 months later I noticed some slowdowns and checked my temps. I saw lots of spikes to the 90s and even 100°C showed up on some small work loads. Unfortunatly I had a bad Enermax Liqtech 360 from the first gen with a manufacturing issue which gunked up and corroded inside and prevented the liquid flow. I RMA'ed the thing and since than I'am back to the Noctua NH-U14S. Second gen should be fixed, but wasn't out back than.

     

    All in all I never have workloads fully pushing the server all the time, a couple VMs and Dockers, some gaming, some CAD workloads, but thats it. I'am happy with that cooler idling in the mid 30s and on daily workloads it's in the 40s and never passes 60°C using my main gaming VM.

     

    I guess it would fit in a 4U (178mm) rack with its 165mm height. More details you can find here:

    Thank you for this detailed response. I was looking at that enermax just like you mentioned. But also read about some of the problems with that system that you experienced. Unfortunately the model of Noctua that you have will not fit in my case. I have been looking at the Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 but it seems to not do well with the wx chips. They are more suited to the 180W tdp chips from what I have read. I may have to “settle” for the 16 core chip rather than the 24.  I’m not sure I can justify the extra cost for the intel chipset. I read about a Corsair unit that gets fairly good marks. I am going to see what the 3rd gen TR looks like on Tuesday before making a decision. I don’t really plan on Overclocking but would like to run a few VMs with one being a gaming pc. 

  2. Hi all. In the middle of a build with a super micro 846 4U case. Considering a 2970WX threadripper. However I am realizing that my cooling options that fit in my case are very limited. Noctua has an option but from what I’ve read Temps can still get high when pushing their system. Any ideas for a good cooling system? I’d consider liquid cooling if there was a good reliable system out there. This server will be on 24-7 and be my main server running multiple VMs. Worth considering intel given a lower tdp for given performance? Hate to do that given the TR has so many cores. Thank you. 

  3. Hi all.  I am currently planning an upgrade to my current server.  Fueling my desire to upgrade my server is my interest in VMs.  On one of those VMs, I would like to use it for ripping DVDs and Blu Rays to ISO format.  My question is do I need a drive on my server to do this, or can I simply use the drive on the PC that I am accessing the VM from?  Will it work both ways?  Is one way better than the other?


    Thank you.

    Do you have a rack to put a 24 bay chassis into? If so, make sure whatever you buy comes with rails. These chassis usually come with dual power supplies and the standard ones are quite noisy. You can find the Q version of the power supplies that are a lot quieter. Inside the chassis they sometimes do not have molex connectors which can be a pain if you want to hook up power to a video card, so check for that. If you can, make sure the chassis comes with drive caddys, you can find them on eBay if it doesn't. SAS2 backplane is a must if you want to use larger than 3TB drives.

    I don't have a rack, but am considering getting one.  Thank you for the advice.  Do you think this is a good buy?  https://www.theserverstore.com/Supermicro-4U-BAREBONE-Server-BPN-SAS2-846EL1-24x-Trays-2x-PS-W-Rails_p_922.html

    I suppose I could buy this, upgrade the power supply then basically build my PC.

  5. Hello all.  Planning on updating my 8 year old hardware for something better.  Considering buying a used supermicro 24 bay server chassis, upgrading to a Ryzen with a nice graphics card, ect.  My biggest roadblock now is I am not familiar with what to look for in a supermicro chassis.  I know I should look for one with a SAS2 backplane.  Anything else I need to be aware of?  Are the power supplies that typically come with these ok?  I remember back in the day, we wanted a power supply with a single rail.  Any downsides I should be aware of?  Thanks!

    Thank you so much..

     

    Will you please share with us your onlyofficedocuments and onlyoffficeserver containers details... My problem is when I install both of them... They dont work at all...just a blank white page 

    For Nextcloud you only need the document server.  I downloaded the document server with the defaults, only change the Name at the top to "onlyoffice".  What navigating to the Webui -> https://your-ip:4430/ You should see a green checkmark and "Document server is running" text

  7. Hi gang.  I finally got onlyoffice to work!  I will try to describe the best I can as I tried many different things.  I found a reddit post and random youtube comment that was very helpful.  This is what finally worked:

     

    1.  Set up a CNAME for your subdomain unless using a subdirectory.

    2.  Install OnlyOfficeDocumentServer docker container. Make sure to re-name the container to all lowercase (this is important).  Rename to "onlyoffice" without the quotes if you want to match the config file.

    3.  If you've already go the Let's Encrypt docker container, create a new proxy config file the attached config file.  If you haven't setup Let's Encrypt, search for the spaceinvader youtube video on it.

    4.  Edit your LE docker container to add in your newly created subdomain and restart the container.

    5.  Stop the letsencrypt and onlyoffice containers.  Go into your appdata\letsencrypt\keys  and copy cert.crt and cert.key files. Go into the appdata folder in onlyoffice /Data folder and create a folder called "certs". Paste your certs in there. you will likely need Krusader or use the terminal due to permission issues.  rename them onlyoffice.crt and onlyoffice.key  Restart the containers. 

    6.  Go into NextCloud UI, click on your username, then Apps. Install OnlyOffice. Go to the settings page for OnlyOffice and type in your URL (e.g. https://docs.yourdomain.com). Save and that should be it!

     

    As a side note, this seems to have broken my collabora integration.  Apparently onlyoffice is not compatible with the nextcloud iphone app and collabora was.  I could have broken something in my efforts to get onlyoffice working.  Not 100% sure yet.  If anyone is able to get them both to work, please post here. 


    Good luck!

  8. Hi all.  My server is almost 9 years old now and I am thinking it is time for an upgrade.  Unraid has grown so much since then.  I'd like to experiment with VMs.  I'm leaning towards the Ryzen Threadripper 1950x as it has a good price to performance ratio.  I watched SpaceInvader's video about setting up an unraid server with Ryzen.  However, since this video is almost 2 years old now, I was wondering if there is better compatibility now than there was then?  Are certain motherboards better to use with unraid and this processor? 
    Thank you.

    Please report back in here if you ever found a way to get it working 

     

    because, from my end... There is nothing more I can do... I even watched german videos that got it running "at least that's what they claim" my steps were 100% aligned with theirs !! still it is not not working for me 

    For the moment, I've went with Collabora.   I'm hoping Spaceinvader One will put a video out on it sometime.  There are a lot of people interested in it for sure.  If I do ever get it done, I will be sure to post it.

    I am surprised that your system cannot run VMs if it is 64-bit capable.   What many systems do not support is hardware pass-through, but this is not a prerequisite if you do not need graphics performance.

    I can look into this again.  I looked into it a couple of years ago and didn't think my system could do it for some reason.  I don't remember why.  It is almost 9 years old now.  Has an old AMD 3 core processor.  8GB ram.  Was overkill back when I built it.  Now, sometimes just streaming media I have to close down dockers to get smooth playback. 

  11. I'm questioning if this is even possible.  Reading over many forum posts on different websites, no one has even claimed to have gotten this working with unraid.  One individual had gotten it working using an Ubuntu VM.  But unfortunately, I do not have the required hardware on my server to do VMs.

  12. Has anything changed on this docker recently?  I can no longer access the admin page.  It seems to have been working fine for months.  I haven't tried to access the webui recently.  But tonight I noticed that it no longer works.  Used SpaceInvaders video to set it up.  I haven't seen anything with a search..... Thank you.

    That sounds like either flash drive problems, or it dropped offline

    Thank you for the heads up.  I will get an extra flash drive ordered and ready.  Then reboot and see what happens.  I still have the original flash drive and it's 8 years old.

    You can use alternate ports.

     

    I would assume that they are blocking 1194, then you can change that, You might try 443.

     

    If you can access the server admin page with the 'Host Port 1 or 2' then it's likely they are only blocking the 'Host Port 3' which is the port used for the tunnel.

     

    If you can't contact the server on any port the the firewall is really locked down.

     

    Of course I'm making the assumption you have the 3 ports available to the outside in your router.

     

     

     

    I did try changing ports.  I've tried 1194 and 443.  Idk what else to try without just doing random ports.  I wonder if it has deep packet inspection?  OpenVPN basically just tries reconnecting all of the time. 

  15. Hi all,

     

    I use OpenVPN to access files on my server for my business.  However, some of the sites I go to have OpenVPN blocked on their firewall.  Does anyone have a way around this?  I have read about stunnel, but am unsure how to set it up with OpenVPN and Unraid.  Any other creative ideas? 

     

    Thank you.

     

  16. I've noticed that I can no longer play blu ray iso's since using Emby.  Is this a coincidence or a limit of using Emby? I  like the program, but if it won't play blu ray isos then it might be a deal breaker for me.  Is this possible and if so, is there a work around for it?

  17. Anyone gotten the message "Exit(-1) Cannot run script /config/autoProcessTV/sabToSickBeard.py " .  SABnzbd has been working great for years except for the last couple of days.  Nothing has changed on my end(maybe the docker has updated), but now I am getting this message.  Has anyone else experienced this?

     

    its due to you upgrading to sabnzbd 1.2.x, stolen from LSIO post:-

     

    This is one of the changes in SABnzbd 1.2.0

     

    "Python post/pre/notification-scripts now require execute (+x) permissions"

     

    https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/5nrfek/sabnzbd_120_final_released/

     

    SSH into to your unRAID machine, cd "change directory" to where your post processing script lives.

    And enter: chmod +x nameofyourscript.py

     

    Thank you!  Worked like a charm!

  19. When you say "copy files over to the array" do you mean copying to user shares or copying to array disks? Writes to array disks are never cached. Only specific user shares that have been set to Use cache disk: Yes are written to cache before being moved to the array disks.

     

    Oh sorry, I ment copying to user shares.  I was copying over a few movies and noticed that my cache drive wasn't filling up at all and it was taking the data straight to the array and bypassing the cache drive.  I do have the user shares set to use the cache drive.
