  1. rclone has evolved so much since the initial youtube video of @SpaceInvaderOne - looking at all the discussions with regards rclone, I wonder if is not time for a new (updated) video on the topic 😁. I am happy to support (as a newbie) however I can: testing, writing the script, donating $ to whoever is willing to take on the challenge of creating a video on how to properly configure rclone in 2022 on unraid. anyone? @Sycotix 😉
  2. Page 36 of the same document writes: 4.5 Fan Header Connector Descriptions All system fan headers support pulse width modulated (PWM) fans for cooling the processors in the chassis. PWM fans have an improved RPM range (20% to 100% rated fan speed) when compared to voltage controlled fans. Base and BRP chassis fans are a 4-wire/4-pin style designed to plug into 4-pin or 6-pin SSI Fan headers. When plugged into a 6-pin header, only the first four signals are used (Pwr, Gnd, Tach, PWM). LX chassis fans are a 6-wire/6-pin style designed to plug into 6-pin headers. The extra signals provide for fan redundancy and failure indications (Pwr, Gnd, Tach, PWM, Presence, and Failure). Server Boards installed in this chassis may feature two additional 4-pin CPU fan headers and one additional 4-pin system fan headers. These connections are not required for use with the Intel® Server Chassis SC5600. To assist with fan connections in the system, the system fans are numbered one through five and color-coded. These correspond to fan header numbers on the server board. Fan 1 and fan 2 connectors are white in color and the fan 3, fan 4, and fan 5 connectors are blue in color. These colors should also match between server board and fans.
  3. I have a question with regards connecting some fans to an Intel motherboard model S2600CP. The motherboard documentation is here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/sb/g54899001_s2600cp_p4000cp_sg_rev14.pdf On page 20-21 there are 4 FAN connectors named X and Y, AF and AG. The problem is that I have no idea what kind of connectors are these: 6 PINs. I attached a picture too I was planning to use these motherboard connectors to replace some old case fans which are using a 4 pin MOLEX connector.
  4. For me I decided to get this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07ZT31GTD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it seems to work with unraid without a problem - of course the speed is not the best, but if you are limited to PCIx1 might be a good option.
  5. I have the same problem: only 2 x PCIe 3.0 X1 slots available on my MB + 1 NVMe M.2 slot - used for the cache drive - all the other SATA ports are full - array HDDs. PCIe 16x slots are occupied by GPUs. I was thinking if I can use the 2 PCIe X1 slots with a combination of: 2 x https://www.amazon.de/MZHOU-x1-Kartenadapter-niedriger-vollständiger-Halterung/dp/B07NSVNS1T/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=PCIe+x1+nvme&qid=1612396181&quartzVehicle=16-23&replacementKeywords=pcie+nvme&sr=8-4 + 2 x https://www.amazon.de/KALEA-INFORMATIQUE-Controller-Karte-CHIPSATZ-JMB585/dp/B078875K5Q/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=JMB585+m2&qid=1612396230&sr=8-2 If this combination works I could expand my no. of SATA ports to 10! Did anyone try this? Or is too r/techsupportmacgyver? 🙂
  6. Hello everyone, I am new here, so please have a little bit of understanding that my technical knowledge is a bit limited. I am coming from the synology world... and I have 3 days of experience with UNRAID 🙂 I am looking for some advice with regards a possible setup for my server. Hardware: - Intel Core i7 6700K 4GHz LGA 1151 - Skylake - Motherboard ASUS Z170-K - Onboard graphics Intel HD 530 - 16Gb DDR4 - Multiple hard drives, but not relevant right now. - optional: Very old GPU Asus 6600 LE - might not support passthrough Here is what I am trying to achieve: - Have unraid run a Windows (preferred) or MacOS for my daily tasks - with dual monitors - extended desktop mode. - On the VM: No gaming, no video/photo editing - just normal MS Office stuff, MS Teams, Web browsing, youtube, etc. - On Unraid: Docker with Radarr, Sonarr, Transmission, Plex (light - no 4k, max 1 steam at a time), nextcloud, hassio. What I tried so far: - install the old GPU (6600LE) - set bios settings to consider this the main GPU - for unraid - install a Windows VM - tried to get the intel 530 passthrough using some of the instructions on this forum. I did manage to get it working but only with one monitor on DVI - HDMI and VGA are not sending any signal to the second monitor. - try to install the intel 530 drivers -> DVI also stops working. - in this process, i also noticed some Kernel errors when connecting the monitor to the old card. So, what I have in mind is to give up on trying to: - passthrough the intel onboard graphics card - too complicated for me - use the old 6600 GPU and instead to buy a cheap GPU which allows me to be easily passthough for a windows VM. What I had in mind was this: - buy a GT 710 https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07489XSJP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A8KICS1PHF7ZO&psc=1 - have it configured to passthrough for my dual monitor win10 vm - use the intel onboard graphics for plex and the rest of the docker containers until the current GPU supply chain crisis is passing - later on (when I will have money) add an NVIDIA Quadro to take over the PLEX workload. My concerns: - will the onboard GPU be enough to take care of some Plex streaming without huge performance issues? - will I be able to make the dual monitor setup in win10 VM work with a GT 710? Many thanks
