First of all, I want to thank everyone so far in this thread for all the research and information you've put together. After reading your comments, I decided to build my very first server using Ryzen and unRAID. I put this build together a little over a week ago, and it's been running great: unRAID v6.3.5 | Ryzen 5 1600 | Gigabyte GA-AB350M-D3H (BIOS update: April 2017) | EVGA GeForce 8400 GS Passive Graphics Card (for BIOS only) | 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 | 500GB Samsung 850 EVO (cache & VMs/dockers) | 2x8TB WD Red HDD (one as parity) | EVGA 450W B3, 80 Plus BRONZE | LG Blu-ray Burner WH14NS40 | Fractal Design Define Mini MATX Case | VM: Windows 10 Pro (4GB RAM; CPU cores 9, 10, & 11; VNC graphics) | Dockers: Plex, MakeMKV, HandBrake, OpenVPN It's mainly a Plex media server (plus DVD/Blu ray ripping), Time Machine backup, and occasional Windows machine right now; in the future, I intend to add a Vega GPU (whenever those are available...) and run my Windows VM as a gaming system. I followed the advice in this thread as far as Global C-state (and a few other settings, I think), and the only times in the last week I've shut down the server is when I wanted to change some settings. It hasn't failed on me once. I have assigned the GeForce 8400 as the graphics card for the Windows 10 VM and the VM worked fine when accessed through VNC and Windows Remote Desktop, but I've never actually plugged it into a monitor to see if the graphics were really passing through. The only issue I have is that I can't quite access the temperature sensors, even when using the advice earlier in this thread with modprobe it87 force_id. I've tried a couple of the 86xx numbers, but I can't get the CPU and MB temperature labels; all I get are generic "temp 1," "temp 2," etc., and I don't know which temp is which. If I figure out which number to use for this motherboard's ITE chips, I'll post it in this thread. You guys are awesome; thank you all for giving me the courage to take the plunge and build my first server!
