Ok, in that case, you will need to note the below:m (Thank you, So then this looks like it is a go-ahead and it should be viable.)
- You will certainly need ACS Override for it to work since I'm pretty sure the PCIe x4 slot is connected to the chipset so it's in the same IOMMU group as your LAN, Wifi etc. The x8 and M.2 slots tend to be together in the same group too so need ACS Override to break them out. (Understood, Should I disable WIFI / USB 3.1 to save on system resources. In reality I'm not going to be hot plugging any USBs or anything like that to be honest.)
-
Since you are passing through a 1080Ti as primary (i.e. what Unraid booted with), also expect potential run in with error code 43. You can try to mitigate this by booting Unraid in legacy mode, vfio stubbing the GPU, turning off Hyper-V in the VM template and dump your own vbios and hopefully all is well. (Understood, before the water damage I did actually have two cards working perfectly with no error code 43. Two separate machines with one GTX 1080 and a 1080TI as well. Unfortunately after the water damage, the motherboard was completely destroyed as well as the USB stick. And I had no backup
so I am building everything again from scratch.)
-
Based on your plan, I'm assuming you are doing 2990WX, for which your core assignment isn't ideal. The 2990WX has 32 physical cores broken down into 4 chiplets (each chiplet has 2 CCX, each CCX has 4 cores), only 2 of the chiplets have PCIe and memory connection. (Understood, Thank you for making that clear.)
- So your main gaming PC should use exactly 8 cores (1 full chiplet) that connect directly to your GPU PCIe slot for lowest latency. Anything else using the same chiplet while you game will introduce some variance to your frame rate, which can vary from unnoticeable to freaking annoying. (Understood, Thank you for making that clear.)
-
The remaining chiplet with PCIe connection needs 1 core reserved for Unraid (core 0 is almost always on chiplet 0, which almost always be the one having PCIe connection). So you are left with 7 cores with PCIe connection to split between your streaming and video-editing. I would suggest you give 3 cores (from a single CCX) to your video editing and the remaining 4 cores (1 full CCX) to the streaming. (I am good with this information in Excel, just so I have it clear in mind.)
- Alternatively, you can have 6 physical cores assigned to the streaming VM (evenly spread across 2 CCX) and the remaining 1 to the video editing VM. The latency is less noticeable with video editing than streaming (here I'm assuming you are doing live streaming on Twitch / Youtube (Correct). (Understood)
- The remaining chiplet cores (without PCIe and memory connection) can be split across VMs as you see fit but for best performance (especially for the streaming VM), you don't want to split chiplet across multiple VM's and within the same chiplet, you would want to split your cores as evenly across the multiple CCX as possible (to even out the load). (Understood)
- Need pictures once you are done with the custom loop. Would be a nice build. (Of course)
At the moment it is just a temporary setup as you can see in the picture. I have this loop only to cool the CPU as I am building everything. Once everything is working and stable, I will then proceed to create the hard tubing dual loop system. Which has an extra advantage of exhausting the heat in the room where I am working to conserve electricity and take advantage of the heat.

Not John but doesn't take John to notice it's not viable right off the bat. You need single-slot width cards for the middle 2 GPU and I don't remember any single-slot 1080Ti widely available (if at all outside of China). The card in your illustration are Zotac Mini which definitely is dual-slot. (NO PROBLEM HERE - I have LONG PCIX Ribbons)
(not wanting to sound harsh (Not at all) but if you don't know why dual-slot cards would not work in your config then you might want to watch a few more Youtube videos on PC building) (NO PROBLEM HERE - I have LONG PCIX Ribbons, check out the Thermaltake Core P3 ATX)
Also, you don't need 1080Ti for streaming nor video editing. (With the extra CUDA cores, it help as well as other applications we use, Furthermore, it is a good idea to use all the same cards for the custom water loop I am building. )
Unless there are separate people working for you for video editing and streaming, there's also no reason why you need separate VM's for video editing and streaming. I can see merit in having a separate gaming VM for Threadripper due to NUMA nodes but certainly not streaming / video editing. (Multiple people working at the same time)
Thank you for the input.

Hello John,
As you have become somewhat of an expert on this matter and we have the same hardware I would like to ask you a question please if I may.
- PCI Slot 1 - GTX 1080Ti
- PCI Slot 2 - GTX 1080Ti
- PCI Slot 3 - GTX 1080Ti
- PCI Slot 4 - Elgato 4k 60 Pro Capture Card
- PCI Slot 5 - Black Magic Deck Link Duo 2
Do you think it is viable to have the following?
- VM 1 - Gaming (GTX 1080Ti) 8 Cores
- VM 2 - Video Editing (GTX 1080Ti) 24 Cores
- VM 3 - Streaming Machine (GTX 1080Ti, Elgato 4k 60 Pro Capture Card,Black Magic Deck Link Duo 2) 24 Cores
- VM 4 - * - Small automation Tasks ( The rest of the cores)
The reason I am asking this is that, I know that a lot of time will be needed to set this kind of system up. So that is why am curious to see if this is viable from your prospective?
If it is not viable, can you suggest a better setup, or should I just have two separate machines.
Thank you very much.

FYI, with VM with VNC / Lates BIOS

@jbartlett are you planning on upgrading to Threadripper 3 or staying with the 2990wx? Just wondering since if you are I want to read about how well it does. I jumped on the 2990wx early and kind of regret it due to its quirky performance with more than a single numa. Even tuning it is fairly difficult since Unraid seems to always want to allocate ram from numa 0 instead of balancing it like I put in the config.
Well that means also getting a new motherboard. Because of the new memory configuration in the CPU, a new board will be required. :((

Hello John,
I should give you an update what's happened with my install. Unfortunately I had some water damage so I had to go through the insurance company and buy a new motherboard and memory.
I have a few questions for you if I may:
- What version by us are you running. I have installed the latest one. Version 2001
- when installing a VM, it is installing incredibly slow. What are your settings regarding the BIOS and any other special settings. Please note I am using only a SSD at the moment. And I would like to get it working first before I try using the MVMe
- I am not using a second video card just yet. But when installing Windows 10 it is incredibly slow, so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you very much.
Fixed it. I had the OLD bios. LOL...
Thanks

- What kind of video editing are you doing? 4k? 1080p? H.264 / H.265? ProRes? 1080p mainly. All the media will be stored on a QNAP.
- How are your games stored? Steam library? Battle.net library? No library? Steam / Local Install.
- What kind of streaming are you doing? Streaming your gaming on Twitch or streaming media to the rest of the household? Twitch / YouTube
- What kind of "image automation"? Have not heard of this use case before. Mainly image processing / Cleaning / Cropping etc etc.
- What needs to be "watch" in the "watch folders"? Video trans-coding.

The 4x2TB HDD should be in the array (1 parity + 3 data) to give you 6TB of general-purpose shared network storage.
With regards to the SSD's, there are many ways to set them up depending on what exactly you are after (e.g. capacity vs speed vs failure protection vs VM requirement etc.).
You mentioned needing 10+ VM's but few users really need that many VM's (e.g. there are few reasons why a video editing VM can't be used for playing games). So I would suggest you write down each VM and its use case + hardware needs (e.g. storage, GPU etc.) + any shared hardware.
That will give us a better idea as to what kind of storage config is more optimised (+ chances are things will need to be simplified).
Thank you very much for the information.
Well let's realistically say 6 VMS
- Main VM / Video Editing (Own Video Card)
- Gaming (Special settings) (Own Video Card)
- Streaming Machine (Own Video Card)
- Image automation
- watch folders
I understand your advice regarding the 2TB drives.
But how would I set up NVME + SSD with speed and protection in mind....
Thank you very much.

Hello,
I have the following:
- ROG Zenith Alpha Motherboard
- 2990WX Thread ripper
- 2 x 1TB NVMEs
- 3 x 250GB SSD
- 4 x 2TB HDD
I will be setting up UNRAID whereby I can have multiple Machines with a dedicated video card for video editing and playing games And in some cases streaming.
I would like to know what would be the best configuration regarding the storage as I am not familiar on how to set up the appropriate array.
It is worth noting that I will be running quite a few VM's 10+ sum for video editing, others for playing games, and the remaining ones for automated tasks. Hence the 64 core CPU.
Can someone please advise me on what would be the best way to set up everything. I can always add a few more SSD's if necessary. But I'm pretty much stuck with the NVMEs
Thank you

Hello all,
The ROG ZA has 2 NICs.
1. 1GBit
2. 10Gbit
If I use the 1 Gb Everything starts perfectly and I am assigned an IP address. The moment I plug in a cable to the 10 Gb LAN port. The system panics.
I am not sure what is going on, I have the latest version of UNRAID And the latest BIOS.
Thank you very much

Hello all,
This post is about how to configure the ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha X399 + 2990WX. Now of course this is ONE HUGE learning curve fro me. However, there are something I have picked up along the way and some problems.
Key facts (Good News)
- I have the ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha X399 + 2990WX working with unraid on it.
- I have dumped the BIOS for an EVGA GTX 1080 and it is passed through to a VM on PICE 1
- I am presently ONLY using 3 SSD drives
- I have ran Intel Burn Test and FurMark, 62 cores at 100% load for over 24 hours. No problem at all.
Key Fact (Bad News)
- I have tried adding a GTX 650TI, GTX 680 OC, 7600GT and pass them through to a VM on all PCI port except. Nothing. I cannot get it working
Questions
- When I setup the UBS with UNRAID, I used UEFI mode. Could this effect the UNRAID / GPU Pass through?
Objectives
- To make this post a good guide for those who are in the same boat as me
- To have 2 or 3 VM with their own GPUs
Guide
- I am making that now.

Hello John, I'm not passing multiple GPUs.
PCI1 - 1080 GTX is for UNraid GUI at present
PCI4 - GTX 650 TI Boost
1VM using the GTX650 Ti Boost. Your box standard set up . When turning on the VM. Nothing is outputted from the GTX 650

Right, I am going to start now.
Please can you tell me which is the best USB port to use for the UNRAID OS.
Thank you

LSTOPO PCIe assignments for the 2990WX
Absolutely fantastic work John.
I have my 2990WX and ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha X399 For over a month now and I have not even booted it once. What a pain in the arse. But it's because I'm working too much at the moment and next week I shall boot it for the first time.
I am really looking forward to getting UNRAID working on it really well,
Thank you very much John.

Hello all,
I just wanted to give an update Regarding where I am:
Ran both systems for 12 hours, no issue at all.
The above is just a test scenario. Obviously there's a lot more consideration needs to be done regarding the CPUs, and a variety of other things. Today I should receive another GTX1060 where I can test all three video cards at the same time.
I have not done any tweaking as such, however John's recommendation of resetting the BIOS really helped when the VM's were fairly slow and sluggish.
Without UNRAID, I have overclocked the CPU to 3.6 GHz on all cores stable. However after resetting the BIOS to optimal defaults, and changing the CPU ratio from auto to 36. All the VMs become sluggish again. I am not sure why this is the case. Any Insights are more than welcomed.
Next steps:
Thank you all for your support. It is really appreciated!
