Figured it out. Forgot in my old case the drives were in a hot swap bay that was built into the case which did NOT supply 3.3V which my new setup did have. Took the 3.3V cable out and everything is back to normal

Hey all, Just moved my very basic setup into a new case, it is just a single cache drive and a single drive in the pool (no parity). The cache drive is showing up fine for for some reason it says my disk 1 is missing but if i scroll down to the bottom I see it under unassigned devices (and the drive ID does match as you would expect). (I did try a different SATA cable and port too FYI) Any ideas? edit: here is some of the info from the log May 27 14:41:22 Unraid2 kernel: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xa2502000 port 0xa2502100

Figured it out, found an old post in another thread 'I had this problem myself, but tracked it down to me pre allocating video memory. I had 1GB. Set the value to auto and unraid booted fine after that. ' I also had mine set to 1GB, i dropped it down to 512MB and it booted fine (there was no auto for mine). Last issue I have to figure out is how to get my RGB out of rainbow mode. Tried the openrgb docker but it wouldnt work with my mobo. I might be able to install windows on a different drive, set the lighting and then go back to unraid. A lot of extra work (especially because I dont have any extra drives) but if i cant figure anything else out.... Thanks for your help!

So it at least tried to boot after doing that but now it fails to boot

Yeah the folder is called EFI- So if i just remove the - that should fix it?

Hey all, Switched from my 9600k setup to my 11600k setup and at first it wouldnt boot from the flash drive, it would just go right into the bios. Found that CSM would let me boot but ran into this - https://rog.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1045467 " [Motherboard] When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable? 1. Q: When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable? A: The Intel® 500 series chipset does not support UEFI VBIOS graphic card, hence the integrated graphics mode does not support legacy boot and CSM option becomes non-configurable 2. Q: How can I configure CSM normally? A: You can use a discrete graphics card that supports UEFI VBIOS to make CSM option configurable" Problem is I wanted to use the iGPU for plex. So how do I get unraid to boot without enabling CSM? Thanks!

Hey all, So right now I have my Gaming PC and Unraid server separate boxes but I was tossing around ideas of how to merge them into one. One of the ways I was thinking was building a unraid box and then do a gaming VM. I did it a while back when the AMD R9 390 was still current and it worked reasonably well but I am curious how reliable as a daily driver it is. Aside from the Gaming VM itself the other 2 items that are important that work well are my Valve Index as I play a lot of Beat Saber and making sure my Sony A6100 with the Elgato camlink passes through ok. Right now there are times where either machine is idle and the other machine could take advantage of the extra power and shrinking it down to 1 physical box would be nice. I was thinking of a Ryzen 5950X and then do 8c/16t to my gaming VM and 8c/16t to divide up amongst the rest (unraid/plex and maybe a minecraft server). I have a RTX 2080 Super for my gaming gpu and would pick up (when prices drop) a quadro P2000 (or something in that ballpark) for plex. Little worried about my PCIE lane count but i think i could squeeze it in there What recently made me interested in this again is Nvidia allowing gpu passthrough on the consumer gpus Thoughts?

Thanks, so even if it was something that didnt have a proper driver it would still at least be visible there? unfortunately i dont have another computer available to try. I contacted the seller and i am going to exchange the card for another so hopefully it was just that.

Good Morning, Bought an Intel X520-DA1 10gb NIC and wanted to see if there were any known issues with it an unraid (I had seen a few posts in the past that folks said it worked). I recently bought one and then i look under PCI Devices and IOMMU Groups I do not see it listed. I tried a different slot (both slots worth with other devices) but i dont see it at all. It is also an X570 AMD motherboard if that matters I think the card is DOA but i wanted to make sure there wasnt something else i was missing. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Is that still the case with the 3000 series threadripper chips, AMD seems to have sorted out the gaming performance with them. The Intel 10980xe though is on my list of chips to consider

The GT 710 I have is an x1 card, right now i have it in an x1 slot on my Asrock X570 board without issue (My current unraid box is just a 3900X and the only gpu in it is the GT 710). Gaming is important to me, i understand that a VM loses performance over bare metal but I am hoping I can throw a bit more resources at it to make up for that loss. Thats good to know about the usb, i figured an addon card would just be easier but it is good to know it wouldnt be required. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I had considered a gpu for the plex transcoding (I have used a P2000 in the past) but i like the simplicity of using a cpu. More so than that though, I am concerned about running out of PCIE lanes as it is, so adding another gpu would make that even more likely. On the sound side of things, I use most of the time an external usb DAC so i would just connect that to my addin usb card and pass that through. When not using my DAC I also have a corsair usb headset so i would plug that into the same usb card. I am still sorting out what to do storage wise. I only have room for 3 nvme drives (4 would be ideal) so i might try to pass 1 of the nvme drives directly to the VM so it gets to have that to itself and then keep the others in the cache pool

So I have heard from a few folks that have done a similar build (at least a gaming vm build) and it has been reliable for them. Right now I am debating the jump from something like a 3950X to the 3960X. If the 3960X is the only way to make it work ill save up a bit longer and go that route but if i dont have to spend the extra money id rather not ($750 vs $1400 for the cpu and $250 vs $450 for the mobo (also i am not sure my 750w psu would be enough at that point)) Right now my 3900X handles unraid and I have a small minecraft server on it (that i give 2c/4t) and then the rest is pretty much just for Plex. The 3950X is basically the 3900X + 4c/8t so i was thinking of giving that extra to my gaming VM (that should be more than my current 9600K correct?) I also just have to make sure i dont run out of PCIE lanes. Since i plan to get a mobo with at least dual NIC i could ditch my addin card for that. That leaves the 2080S, the GT710 (x1), a usb card (likely a 4 port x4 card) and then i would make sure i get a mobo with 3x nvme slots and at least 8x SATA slots Trying to decide on a case, Looking at possibly the thermaltake tower 900

Hey all, So right now I have 2 separate systems, a 9600K/2080S VR Gaming Machine (attached a picture of it for reference) and a 3900X unraid build. On their own they work great but there is definitely some wasted resources between the two. I thought it would be really cool to do a single crazy water cooled Threadripper 3960X build but i am worried about how reliable VR gaming will be in a VM. I have read that buying a usb addon card and passing through the entire card helps and i dont mind some tinkering/process to get it setup initially but i dont want to mess with it every day. Curious to those who have done gaming VM's what their experience has been with reliability (after getting it setup) Thanks! Edit: Also, I did consider a 3950X but I suspect it will not have enough PCIE lanes/possibly not enough CPU power. If i were to use my current motherboard from my 3900X this is what I would need for slots, x16 - 2080 Super x1 - Dual port NIC (Mobo only has a single 1Gb NIC) x1 - GT 710 GPU since the cpu has no gpu built in x4 - PCIE to x4 NVME adapter because my mobo only has 2 nvme slots and I run 2 drives in the cache pool and 1 external x4 - a good 4 port usb card (still working on which one). As mentioned above I also have 2x nvme drives that consume 4 lanes each. I want to run my valve index on the gamine machine and also possibly get into some basic mixed reality vr capture, my plex setup which has about 75% of the 3900X allocated to it, and a small minecraft server Thought about maybe the 10980XE as it has more lanes then the 3950X but is still $400 cheaper than the 3960X but I am not sure if that makes much sense

Thanks for doing the giveaway. My favorite thing has always been the flexibility, being able to mix and match different disk sizes and easily being able to add/remove disks from the pool. I would love to see multiple cache pools, IE a cache pool for only my vm's and dockers and then another cache pool for just acting as a write cache
