In the opinion of the experts here, is it worth it to get the threadripper 1900 over the R7 1700?
Are you planning on running multiple NVME drives and or a bunch of PCI-E passthrough? Threadripper is great for the PCI-E lanes and a little higher overclock. To me it wouldn’t be worth it, but for your case it might be a good fit. Now remember an x399 board costs around $250-$350. So if you are budget conscious it is something to consider. So a 1700 with a decent board x370 will run you a little under the threadripper price alone.
-
If you plan on running 3 or possibly may run 3 at the same time a 1700 is a good fit. I get by with 2 vms with 4 vcpus for gaming with a 1600x.
-
If you run the most recent 6.4rc10b you shouldnt have to have C-states off. I haven’t run them turned off since rc7. I don’t know what the I’ll effect of having them off since RC8, that’s when I flipped the option in bios.
-
Big difference between the 2 boards is SLI compatibility. I think you are right, x370 boards can be gotten pretty cheap. Trick will be looking for “multi-gpu” support. Now technically a second pci-e 3.0 running at x4 is the same amount of lanes as pci-e 2.0 x16. For future proofing pay the extra $ if you can afford it.

C-states are on. Make sure your bios are up to date.

Hey guys just wondering since ryzen doesnt have a built in GPU, is there still a need for a sacrificial GPU for unraid to function? Im on a i5 4460 right now and a gtx 960, so obviously i dont have any issues giving unraid the iGPU and make use of the gtx 960 on my VM.
But ryzen doesnt have an iGPU will i need to get some cheap additional GPU just for this?

Unless you want to mess around with using the 960 in the first slot and using the Nvidia passthrough technique. Something like this would work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D0E1TNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PbAaAbS132H3S

Im at 6 straight days without issue right now. Once i added the lines to the sys conifg that was recommended by devs its been moving along pretty well. I have a r5 1600x with a Gigabyte gaming 5.
+1 Same situation here once the option that Eric put in above is added it’s the best I’ve ever had it run. 1600x MSI SLI Plus x370 super easy add right after the “append” before the boot info. Should be fixed in a later RC but it’s the workaround for now.

I’m assuming you meant didn’t have continued problems. Youtube SpaceInvader One has some great videos on building VMs. Other than minor tweaking here and there while Ryzen was still new my VM has been untouched for settings for months. Big thing for gaming make sure your board has 2 pci-e slots second one running 8x at minimum (B350 or x370). That’s so you don’t have to mess with the PCI-E passthrough workaround in the 1st slot. Big thing with ryzen make sure your bios are up to date! Rest of the VM setup is clicking drop downs. Give unraid at least 2 cores (1st set) and of you go with Ryzen pay the extra little bit for a 1400 (4C/8T) or ideally a 1600(6C/12T) if you want more threads. Overclocking the chips is pretty easy too. 1400 get up to about 3.7-3.8 and 1600 around 3.8-3.9 on air.
Also so if you use steam the use of a mapped drive for your gaming repository on Unraid works very well. There’s some topics in the announcement forums with that info.

I’d go the Ryzen route. Most of the work for tweaking has been fixed. The “line work” you mention you just go to the Main tab, click on flash, and add in a command string after the word “append” on all lines. That line work my be fixed in the next pre-release. The rest is pretty easy. I get ~130fps with my 1080 passed through for gaming now.

I just started with unRAID and for some reason my system won't stay up for more than an hour. This is what posts to the screen:
And this is what posts in safe mode:
This is on a Ryzen 1600X with nothing attached but the ram and an AMD RX 550 graphics card.
Check that you are up to date on bios and have C-states turned off to begin with. 6.4 has a fix for them but baby step yourself to stable. I’ll let smarter people than I troubleshoot to diags.

Hello,
Have you tried various USB ports?
I actually never had such issue, passing any USB device worked flawlessly. Be sure to also have the USB adapter installed for the VM and to have correct drivers installed.If you are plugged into a USB 3 port make sure you’ve gone under advanced in the VM configuration and turned on USB 3.0.

Update on the NPT patch:
Everything seems to be working great! No more spikes, 3Dmark score is just around where it should be compared to other peoples scores and games run as intended.
If anyone is still holding back on buying Ryzen then the time to buy is now.
From the top of my head the only reason not to buy one is ECC memory but AMD performance killing bugs are now fixed.
Now I only wish I would've gotten r7 1700 instead of r5 1600.
Thank you LimeTech for releasing the fix so fast after it was discovered!I’m limping my 1600X until Ryzen 2. Are there recommended cpu counts and RAM recommendations now for a Win 10 vm? Got mine running with 6 vcpus isolated, course mine does Video transcoding as its main function when idle. (Record a lot of tv in my plex docker and scrub out commercials with it)

Guys thinking to upgrade my NAS machine and want to add 2-3 GPU 1070 also to replace my desktop and use it also as miner (zcash,eth) when is idle.
Im mining on other RIG as well on pure Linux, but 2 GPUs in Unraid could pay the electricity bill and i will reduce 1 desktop at home.
Does anyone tried that already (mine in unraid vm or docker)? What im reading with this new patch should be possible finally and the "final PC setup" shouldnt be that much expensive as Intel
Thanks!
Other than the pressure on the cards I never had issues before the patch. My 1080 would get ~27Mh/s and a second 1060 piped through got 24. (1080 stinks for hashing, great gaming card though) Figure our what your “break-even” is cause the cost for power vs money made may not be worth it to you. (Zcash has to be about $220 for me to consider worth it)
-
I concur with Beancounter here. This fix has been a real godsend for those that look to use KVM and hated the NTP=0 performance tradeoff.
-
Either will work.

GUI boot is much more responsive, typically had to wait up to a minute to get the webui to load on initial login after a reboot/powerup. 3 tests so far today on this had the webUI working by the time I was able to login to the GUI boot. MUCH improved, awesome job!!!
-
Don't forget the option to downclock in bios. I have my 8350 running at 2.8Ghz for a power save.

+1 mine is doing that too.

Posting my diagnostics, AM4 Ryzen 1600X build with 16GB memory ~75% allocated between 8GB VM assignment and 5 dockers. VM tries running games and it locks for a second and reboots. Haven't run a mem test yet however option is on the table and doesnt happen if I drop the VM to around 7GB it runs fine. I'd buy more if the damn stuff was cheaper.
didn't have this issue with 6.3.4 but it showed up in 6.3.5 and now 6.4 RC.
-
Try the new RC build of 6.4 kernel is updated to 4.11 which has enhancements for Ryzen. I've had good luck so far after I locked down a rogue crashplan docker that was eating more RAM than it should.
-
There's a docker container by yoshithewire I've been using this for my PVR engine for a solid year. Check github

Sounds good bit of a process change for me vs the old black/white display. BTW good work on the new interface styles, very modern Bonienl.
didn't have this issue with 6.3.4 but it showed up in 6.3.5 and now 6.4 RC.
Upgraded to RC10b from 6.3.5, can't boot or ssh.

Assuming typing diagnostics at the console doesn’t do anything? Can you pull a dish from the GUI and post? Looks from the pic like some C states were activating. Care to tell us some specs too? Big one get diags
