I came back after about half an hour. Nothing obvious in syslog. Completely stumped. Will keep an eye on it.

Thanks, done.

Correction since a nother reboot, docker containers are responding now just not main web GUI

I can SSH in just fine but nothing web based will respond. I have tried stopping the docker service and VM service and a couple of reboots but same isue persists.

Yes they are fine. I've just downgraded to a HP prodesk with an i5 8500 in it and it runs VMs and docker like a champ

How do I work out what this is? Pressing enter doesn't make it turn good. I assume it is one of my drives but I don't know how to map host3 to a physical drive...

Any chance we can get the power in watts to display on the bottom status bar like I have my CPU temp?

How are you testing the speed? I did read that the results can be unreliable when in a VM due to shared CPU cycles but with isolated cores that shouldn't be the case. When I use CrystalDiskMark I get drastically reduced scores around a third of what I get when booting into the NVMe drive using bare metal.

Actually I think I answered my own question, I had it isloated with VFIO and that made it run at high idle power. By not doing that, installing Radeontop, the power draw came right down, I assume because drivers got loaded? Anyway I can still use it in my VMs and power usage is much lower so I'm happy.

Not sure if this is the right place. I recently upgraded my server to 13700K, Z690 motherboard an 64GB 3200 RAm. I am getting 100W idle which feels quite high. I have done a lot of the tuning mentioned here but have narrowed it down to my GPU, a Radeon RX6800. If I remove that then it idles around 40W. Anyone know how I can reduce the idle consumption of the card - it should be less than 10W at idle from reading about.

So does that mean the VM has 14 cores - albeit 7 x 2 HT ones? If they are presented as individual cores to the VM, what happens if it tries to use a HT pair at the same time, th performance will tank on one won't it as only the host knows they are a HT pair? I've never quite understood this with hyperthreading...

I am looking to upgrade my system. I currently have an i7 9700 with 32GB of DDR4 2666 memory. My system is used for gaming and media server mostly. I have 6 cores assigned to the gaming VM (which has an RX6800 passed through) and then unraid and docker just does its stuff although I don't specifically limit to cores 1 and 2. I would like a bit more CPU grunt in the gaming side of things and am currently thinking of trying to get a 13700 with Z690/Z790 motherboard. Plan being to assign 8 P cores to the VM and the 8 E cores to unraid (I am assuming the E cores still can do iGPU transcoding?) Is it worth going with DDR5? I could spread the cost of this by re-using my existing memory but I think that locks me into the choices of a DDR4 motherboard then from what I can tell.

I only seem to have powersave and performance in the scaling governor. Does anyone know why? Update. Okay having read through it is because that is all that is offered by Intel P-state driver it seems. Do you get to choose a driver or just have to haev the one it defaults to? I have an Intel i7 9700 8 core CPU.

Slightly off topic but I have an i7 9700 and was wondering whether to upgrade to a 13500. I’d lose a couple of P cores but gain 8 E cores. Did you notice much difference? One of my uses is as a gaming VM
