  1. I don't do any NIC passthrough since 2x1Gb is plenty for 4 machines and some dockers to share. Since mine is mostly setup for a gaming machine, I rarely saturate the network. I haven't measured load yet- but can tell you that I can max all cores and GPUs without hitting my 1000w ceiling. Heat isn't too terrible and the machine is in the same room as the 4 gamers playing. It does make some noise at full load but hardly more than my previous single gamer setup. The heat is noticeable after a while and we may kick on the AC that blows from the ceiling to keep us cool, but my rig never thermal throttles- it's temps stay in 55C area on CPU and 75Cish on GPU for max. Sound issues just required me to run the msi fix and use the hdmi sound from each card. I have no sound issues and don't pass the sound card to anything. I also don't use any of the on board USB and got a card with 4 controllers to pass one to each system- saves me a ton of headaches with peripherals. I agree with bastl- threadripper is a better way to go since it has so many PCIE lanes and cores available. Unraid does need some CPU power for itself and I have found that leaving 2 cores/ 4 smt available for it is the best plan for it to breathe freely. Plus- as he indicated- if you want to BLEED go CUTTING EDGE. It will definitely hurt until it heals with patches and updates.
  2. Hell no! I don't activate windows on any of my VMs and none of the others have issues- just sayin.
  3. I would definitely go threadripper, here is my setup: Corsair 740 Air case- Taichi X399 Threadripper- 2950x (upgrade from 1920X-) Corsair 64Gb 8x8Gb 2933Mhz- Evga CLC 280 Evga 1Kw gold PSU- Allegro Pro USB 3.0 to U.2 port/PLX bridge- 2x Evga GTX 960 SSC 4GB- 2x Evga 2070 Black- 2x Plextor 512Gb SSD- 2x WD Black 1Tb NVMe- Have a couple of my old parts up here: PM if you want some more info- or are looking for someone who has dealt with a similar setup. With what you are looking at doing- you will want a lot of cores and a lot of RAM to support your config. Also consider passing dedicated drives to your windows VMs if you can.
  4. I don't have anything overclocked- just did that to see if it would change the amount of time that it could perform without issue- but no change. I thought maybe it would lead to less time, but it still goes for the same time before having that happen again. Haven't tried undervolting yet- that might be something I can test also. Don't you need to tweak GPU bios to get an undervolt?
  5. Thanks for the suggestions John, I'll give some of that a shot- better than the crickets I was getting with this issue from everyone else. I have done #1 but haven't tried #2 or #3 since I rarely get much chance to troubleshoot because someone is always using it when I am home. No surges that I am aware of, and protection at every outlet- no other weirdness.
  6. Yeah- gpu-z for extraction- then deleted the header as spaceinvader's video talked about. Shown at 2:20 here:
  7. Yep. Plus- the 2070 that blacks out first has an 8+6pin so it is getting even more reliable power. Overclocking the cards also doesn't change anything, it still goes for the same 90 minutes before having the issue, then after a couple resets of that VM- works again for another 90 min.
  8. Just wanted to chime in- just changed from a 1920x to a 2950x and still having the same success I was before. 4 gaming machines with CPU/sound passed through that are functioning well with no stutters or jitters. I have only one issue with my rig currently that wasn't there before I upgraded 2 of my GPUs. The issue is explained here:
  9. Get rid of any overclocks and custom ram settings- then try it again.
  10. Yeah, I had to use a hex editor to remove the nvidia headers before I could pass the rom properly.
  11. Obviously not the same setup, but I have the x399 taichi and passing through a 960 to slot 1. I have all 4 slots populated with GPUs passed through- slot 1 displays the unraid boot until I start the VM in slot 1- then it takes over the video. The only way I could make that work is to dump and edit the rom- then pass that through. I was getting code 43 until I did that. I'm sure you probably already tried, but thought I would share my experience in case any of that helps.
  12. Still seeing this issue, can anyone give feedback or have any experience with ANYTHING like this?!? This is literally the ONLY issue I am having with my 4 headed gaming rig- if I can get it sorted out- it will be PERFECT!
  13. I also play empyrion, would love to have that too!
  14. Well LT just contacted me to let me know that the user did finally get their message and has taken steps to remedy the issue. Needless to say, they were glad that it was a community member that found it and shut it down to prevent harm. Glad they handled it before some black hat decided to re-purpose it.
  15. Yeah- I figure that I'll be upgrading if the board goes kaput. The VRMs are pretty bulletproof, not likely I'll be needing it.
  16. Northern Colorado USA- Paypal accepted or cash for local pickup. AMD 1920X threadripper USED. $220 Just thought I would offer them here before ebay and CL.
  17. Out of curiosity, are you in bloomfield, Indiana in the USA?
  18. If they did, I still would have found it on the next google crawl. I wasn't looking for the address directly when I found it- stumbled across it when searching a log message. I hope that means that he put it behind a nat gateway. At any rate- I'll keep checking on it.
  19. Well the good news is that the server is no longer accessible from the internet- not sure if that means that they finally fixed it, or if it is still just turned off. I'll check on it for a while to make sure it doesn't come back up.
  20. Yeah- I'm running x399 so haven't seen those issues yet. I did see some complain about the x399 msi board, but haven't had issues on my latest version.
  21. You really can't leave it open on any port- they will find it. Jonathan is right- vpn into your network for ssh access. Alternately, if you are a linux master and know snort at all- you can setup a port knocking scheme that would hit one port- then another- and it would open a new port of your choosing- then close it when the connection is over. Fun to play with that kind of stuff if you have the aptitude. Just google port knocking, there are tons of tools to help with setup.
  22. I can assure you- it's not that bad- most of the issues have already been resolved and the only issues I had disappeared with bios updates months ago.
  23. I know that LT tried to reach out to them but it is back online this morning. I shut it down again but if it comes back up, I may change their banner to something with a message for them. Good to know that they added the robots.txt so indexing won't continue. Maybe mail from LT is going to spam or something.
  24. There are strings in the logs that are unique to unraid, and if the server is fully open to the internet- they get indexed in google searches. From there- used a little google-fu to find others. There are a few, but most are not completely open like his was. Obviously anyone who leaves the default server name had Tower/Main in the title.
  25. I sent info to LT- they will contact them. I powered it down for now.
