Did you make sure to reboot you server after installing Nvidia drivers?

Can you post screen shots of your Docker container? Have you previously used this card in a VM? What Nvidia driver version did you install? What version of Plex are you on? When you say “dashboard GPU statistics”, do you mean the Nvidia GPU statistics plugin? Have you tried uninstalling it and trying to transcode?

Did you reboot your server after installing the Nvidia drivers?

What does your Plex Docker setup look like? Did you input the extra parameters?

Have you installed the IPMI plugin and have the fan control working?

The socket on this motherboard is situated perpendicular to what is normally on the threadripper motherboards. It's done the exact same way with the Epyc motherboards. The Noctua cooler is meant for normal (non-server) motherboards, that's why it's pointed in an unusual direction. Overall with the Noctua cooler, you're definitely not getting optimal cooling with the way it is orientated, but you shouldn't still see the CPU spikes you are seeing. It's more than likely a IPMI/BMC issues in their software. The E3C246D4U had something similar going on. ASRock Rack is renowned for trying new things like Threadripper server boards but they struggle often with their BIOS/BMC updates. Their motherboards are very cool but most usually have some sort of quirks that take time to work themselves out. Are you on the latest stable BIOS or the beta BIOS?

That is correct that AMD cards/AGPU’s won’t work with hardware transcoding in Plex Docker containers. It’s not so much an issue with Plex as it is a Linux issue. Nvidia is the only brand of card that can be passed through on a Plex Docker container for transcoding.

I would replace your cooler with one designed to move air from front to back (a true server one). It will also benefit from having the fan wall pushing a good amount of air in the same direction. Any server grade Dynatron or Supermicro SP3 cooler should work. The Dynatron A35 looks like it should handle the load really well. I would also contact ASRock Rack because it could be an issue with their BIOS/IPMI/BMC. If you do all that and are still having issues, you might have a faulty motherboard.

@dmacias Any chance that the plug-in will be updated with the new commands for the X570D4U and X570D4U-2L2T in the near future?

Glad you figure it out, and it wasn’t some weird error with a new CPU.

Price of being an early adopter. It might be a while before anyone knows what is wrong or a fix will be created. It's always advised to go with slightly older hardware (at least a year old) with Unraid. First thing though: Are you on 6.9.beta30?

What Supermicro chassis? Should be able to figure out the fan model with just that.

@Forty Two, my bad. I for some reason thought I was on the X11SCA-F thread. Glad you figured it out.

Why are trying to use the AutoFan plugin when the IPMI plugin will give you all that you're looking for and more?

This motherboard hasn’t even come out yet. It probably won’t be able to be purchased until sometime in October.

Update 9/21: Everything is still available and list prices are staying the same but I'm open to negotiating.

Everything is still for sale! Updated prices as well as added a CPU/Motherboard Combo.

If anyone that comes across this thread and is looking for something similar, I have a E-2278G and Supermicro X11SCA-F combo that I’m selling in the Selling Forum: The X11SCA-F has the same iGPU passthrough as these ASRock Rack motherboards but it’s a stable BIOS and not a beta one. It has zero trouble with CPU boost clock performance. It also is a full ATX size so you can get adequate distance between PCIE slots which is perfect if you’re trying to use a dual slot GPU. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. I’m trying to sell the CPU, motherboard, heatsink, and RAM all together, but I’m definitely open to just a CPU/motherboard combo if that’s what it takes.

I'm looking to sell my excellent condition, very lightly used Supermicro X11SCA-F MB w/ E-2278G CPU 32GB ECC RAM combo. All that this combo entails: CPU: Intel Xeon E-2278G (8 cores/16 threads, 80W TDP) --> This CPU is a beast and the iGPU can handle nearly 20 x 1080p 8Mbps transcodes. Heatsink: Noctua NH-D9L --> Even at full speed, it is virtually silent. It is extremely easy to install and fits nicely in a 3U server chassis. Motherboard: Supermicro X11SCA-F --> Motherboard has only been used for the last couple of weeks and comes with all the accessories including IO Shield and M.2 installation adapters. RAM: 2 x Supermicro (HMA82GU7CJR8N-VK) 16GB SDRAM ECC DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Server Memory Model MEM-DR416L-HL01-EU26 --> This RAM is on the QVL for the motherboard and works perfectly. Everything is in perfect working condition and will come in original boxes. I'd like to sell everything all together, so those that want the complete system will have priority. I can even leave the RAM and CPU installed and shipped if that is preferred. The heatsink will have to be applied by the buyer though since shipping with it installed would make it a lot more difficult. Complete CPU/Heatsink/Motherboard/RAM Combo Asking Price: $870 (PayPal - US Shipping Included!, Local Cash will get better deal!) = SOLD CPU/Motherboard Combo Asking Price: $670 (PayPal - US Shipping Included!, Local Cash will get better deal!) I'm open to negotiating. Pictures: https://imgur.com/gallery/GNu9515

From what I read on the Level1 Forum, it looks like @cybrnook has one. You could ask him.

Looking to sell my slightly used and working ASUS C246M PRO motherboard. The BIOS is the newest one available so it will gladly take a 9th Gen Intel CPU without doing another BIOS update. This is a great motherboard for a 1U pfsense/server build and it's also good for any case that needs a motherboard that is built for airflow. Specs are here: WS C246M PRO | Servers & Workstations | ASUS USA It comes with 1 x Support CD, 1 x I/O shield, 8 x SATA 6G cables, 1 x Com port cable, 1 x User manual, and 1 x Quick start guide. Asking price is $130 local or $145 shipped. PayPal or in-person cash. This is a good deal cheaper than what you'll currently find on eBay or Amazon. Please let me know if you have any questions. = SOLD More Pics: https://imgur.com/a/wSSz9at#YdSHXuX

To give a little more clarification that what has been posted above: Your current motherboard has a C232 chipset. This motherboard only supports Intel 6th and 7th Gen Celeron, Pentium, and Core i3 as well as E3-12xx v5 and v6 CPU's. This chipset also won't allow you to passthrough an iGPU for transcoding. This is a limitation of the particular chipset. Passthrough of the iGPU is only on the other consumer chipsets (non server) or C236 chipset. If you're looking to use a 8th or 9th Gen Intel Core CPU, you could find a motherboard with a C246 chipset which would also allow you to use an iGPU for transcoding (if one exists on the CPU you chose). However, if you want a motherboard with a built in SAS HBA, there isn't a C246 motherboard that has one. You'll have to buy a separate card. Overall, I don't believe you're going to be able to find a motherboard that will have everything you want it to do.

If you figure it out for your X11SCH-LN4F, please let us know. It’s definitely possible with the X11SCA-F but the BIOS is different than what is on our motherboards (I have a X11SCH-F). I’ve tried a lot of things but I haven’t switched to EFI boot or called Supermicro for support. Someone got it working on ServeTheHomw but didn’t post a lot of details about what they did and we’re using a different Linux OS.

If you review the earlier posts and do what is required, you should be able to have both active without issue. iKVM and QuickSync can work simultaneously if the right adjustments are made.

If you want a detailed build list, I could put one together for you. After that, it's pretty simple to put together. A quick installation guide would be easy to write up.
