I currently have a 2950X Threadripper which I would like to change due to power consumption. To be honest my server does not need masses of power so maybe both the 13600K and 12600K will be overkill (again) 1, As unraid needs a GPU would I need an additional card to utilize HW transcoding on the 770 iGPU on the CPU? I have at most 5-6 streams (1 or 2 might be transcoding) 2, idle power is king, should I be looking at an alternative CPU? I have 25 Dockers & 1 Windows VM for Blue Iris. 3, I have a Taichi X470 and a 3600X sat doing nothing but would need a discrete GPU for HW Transcoding, would pairing this with a Quadro make more sense? Any advice gratefully received! Thank you 🙂

Thank you! worked for me too!

Hi, My Nextcloud has been running for years and today I noticed this error This version of Nextcloud is not compatible with > PHP 7.4 I restarted the container and now I am presented with the install screen! I have not done anything else as terrified I will lose everything (if I haven't already) can anyone please help?

Perfect! All done, thank you 🙂

Hi, After some searching the posts I can find for removing a cache pool are for different reasons and/or from 2016/17 I currently have 2 X NVME drives mirrored and would like to remove one of them, can anyone please point me in the directions of the latest method please?

Yes, I understand.... definitely not clear cut but very hard to make any decisions without having another system to compare to. I would imagine that the 12400 in a direct comparison to my 2950X is going to be considerably more ecomical but by how much is (to me) impossible to guage. I have now stopped using tdarr as I encoded everything to HEVC but no more lol! I do have a 3600X server which I decommissioned to save power (it was just a backup server sat there running tdarr encodes) It may make sense to make the 3600X my main and only server as I already have it and will be considerably cheaper to run than the 2950X I did discover the Precision Boost Overdrive setting on my X399 Board but looks like I can only overclock? I need to research this some more as if I can underclock that may be the easiest/most cost effective way to reduce power.

Gigabyte Designare X399 Threadripper 2950X 64GB RAM Unicaca 3800 PCI SAS Card Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 1-gbe card 2 X Rocket NVME 1 X Samsung 960 NVME 5 Hard Drives Spinning (Out of 24) As I Type the CPU usage is fluctuating between 5%-20% and the Wattage is fluctuating between 188W - 275W so but changing to an intel 12400/12700 I could save around 60-100W it is tempting!

I have 24 Spinners & 3 NVME drives will spin my drives down later to see the difference, 92W is nice!

This is what I am getting at the moment on an idle server...

I currently have a 2950X I am using in an unraid server and run 3-4 VM's and 20 or so dockers and Plex. My price per kw/h is going up to 0.35p on Monday and as AMD & Intel measure their TDP differently I am struggling to see if it would be econmical to change? Can anyone offer any advice please?

I am looking to build a replacement setup for my 2950x Threadripper due to power costs The i9 12900 is 65w compared to my current 180w plus the IGPU (Intel 770) from what I read would be great for Plex but would I need another GPU to be able to use it on unraid? as in I would not be able to pass it through to Plex without another GPU being available? I currently use HW encdoding for Plex so I am thinking the saving on the CPU wattage plus being able to use the IGPU for Plex should make quite a difference? Any rights or wrongs here? Thank you!

It just came back for me, no idea why, sorry!

ok, quite the coincidence that I started using sleep/hibernate on my Desktop a week or so ago so I will close browsers and monitor, thank you

Oh wow! I see! I have just started using sleep/hibernate on my main desktop which indeed has web browsers open to my unraid servers I would never have thought that would have caused an issue or even been related at all! Is the "solution" to close the browsers? there is nothing I can change on my server side as I will struggle to remember to do this and/or not be in front of my Desktop when it decides to sleep every time. Many thanks!!

OK, found quite a lot of people with this issue on unraid, doesn't appear to be related to plex ram transcoding, looks to be an unraid bug/problem

ah really? I have 64GB thought that would be enough!

I am trying to download diags to upload but system is running so slow, cannot reboot yet as recording a tv show. Would the diags/logs tell you what is causing the problem as would really like to keep RAM transcoding with Plex

Hi, My Log file is full and I can see it is full of these errors. The only change I made a couple of weeks ago was for Plex to use RAM for transcoding is it possible to be the cause?

Thank you, I had just found that on the CA scripts forum, added the "bash" and now all running again! Thank you! 🙂

Ah! I see all scripts are stored on the boot usb and that is now not possible. Why does unraid create scripts there if you are unable to run them from boot? I cannot see a way to move/change the script location?

Hi, I have a couple of scripts that I have not run for about a year but they no longer run and each have the same error OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367: starting container process caused: exec: "/UNRAIDSHARE/bashfile/opus.bash": permission denied: > I have tried changing the user but it makes no difference? has something changed in unraid? Here is my script #!/bin/bash docker exec -u root -i Blender-Desktop-G3 /UNRAIDSHARE/bashfile/opus.bash /UNRAIDSHARE/opustest

Hi! Is there a way to test that the transcode is happening on the RAM please? It should be working but would like to know if there is a way I can check it is not transcoding on the nvme drive. Also, I am allocating 20GB with my parameter, does that "lock out" 20GB for plex (Will show as used in unraid) or just allow it to use 20GB of what is available? Thank you I am using a threadripper 2950X so no cpu capabilities --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=20000000000 --no-healthcheck

Thank you, I will have a read!

Thank you, this may also be an option!

This sounds interesting, do you have any info? is it a 2nd cache pool?
