Sorry for the necro, but thought this information could be useful to some. A while back after upgrading to Win10 I started noticing that after regular updates the TeamViewer ID was changing. This causes that problem where it appears offline in your list of contacts and it has to be re-added. There's a registry edit that solved it for me. Note that this is for the 64-bit version of Windows. There's a similar edit for 32-bit, but I am not sure where it would be. If I had to guess, ignore the "WOW6432Node" key and go straight on to the TeamViewer key. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\TeamViewer] "MIDForceUpdate"=dword:00000001

Double checked and I don't have any options for first graphics adapter. I'll look into this workaround for Nvidia passthrough, though the idea of having to pull information directly off the card is a little off putting. Thank you for the help!

Given your issues with stuttering on your gaming VM, are you going through HDMI on that 970? There were reported issues on sound across the HDMI port for Nvidia cards, stuttering and the like.

I only have Nvidia cards, a 980TI and a 210, so the AMD aspect is something I can't test myself. Also unfortunate is that my motherboard only has PCIe, (4 16x and 1 1x) so I don't have the ability to set IGA/PCI as my initial graphics adapter instead of PCIe. I really wish unRAID is something I'd known about before building this PC so I could consider more compliant hardware. I kind of come away with your post thinking it's possible to run unRAID on the second GPU. Is that something you're aware of or can confirm?

I'm lost on this subject - I think I have an understanding but what I'm finding/reading leads me to think otherwise. I have a motherboard without IPMI or integrated graphics. I've read that UnRAID can run headless, but the online manual seems to suggest this only means without connected input/output peripherals. That doesn't seem to be an issue with AMD gpus because some how they can be shared between a VM and unRAID (which sounds like magic to be honest). Nvidia on the other hand requires they be isolated for that VM - that's fine. So if I have no IPMI or IGA and I have an Nvidia GPU, in my mind my solutions are either don't run unRAID with any GPU, or install a second card for it. If the first isn't possible, is it possible to passthrough the card in the first PCIe slot to a VM while running unRAID on the secondary card? If either of these is possible, it'd be great for the purpose of dual-booting Windows and unRAID until I get my configuration figured out.

So there is a way to use that unassigned drive? I wasn't able to find it I'll look through documentation again.

I came across Linus's video on his 2 gamers on 1 PC and liked the idea of unRAID. I currently run my own gaming PC 24/7 and have a server that's set up for recording video from security cameras around the house. I've been on a stint of finding ways to cut bills and thought "Oh man, running 2 PCs full time is probably a killer." If I could use unRAID to combine my gaming PC and server into one box that would be fantastic. So my gaming PC is a x99 XPower MSI board with a 5820K, 64GB memory (for virtualization), a 980TI, a 500GB SSD, and 4 2TB HDDS (RAID 10, 4TB usable). Most of my games are actually on the RAID array, load times are fine. My server is a Lenovo TS440 with a E3-1250 with a 240GB SSD and 3 4TB HDDS in RAID 5 (8TB usable). I also found a second 240GB SSD while cannibalizing an old case to fit all the drives into my Shinobi XL. I'm working on setting it up right now, so I have my 500GB SSD as cache and all the HDDs in the parity array (4TB parity, 2x4TB+4x2TB = 16TB usable). They are all 7200 RPM drives, nothing special. I haven't started on doing passthrough for devices yet, and I have installed an EVGA Nvidia 210 as the dedicated card for unRAID. It just hit me that if I'm trying to load games off of the RAID array and I'm recording video to that same array I could be running into some serious issues with I/O bottle necking on my drives. Do you think this is something I need to be concerned with? Am I missing a way to set up multiple arrays? Another thing I thought about - is there no way to have the cache drives run independently? It'd be nice to use that extra 240GB SSD, but from what I understand if I put the 500GB and the 240GB in the cache, I can only use 240GB of the available room.
