@JustJoshin would you be able to help me with my virtual setup. I have the intel s2600 with the dual xeons from natex but with 64gb of ram and a gtx 1080 . I want to do a Win10 VM and passthru graphics to the gtx1080 along with a usb3.0 hub. Issue I'm running into is how to setup the vmware. I setup the seabios no luck getting it to pass through to work, also setup a vnc monitor to watch it still no luck. Did the same via ovmf. Any suggestions or screenshots or video you could toss over my way would greatly appreciate you. Trying to get this gtx1080 passthru has been kicking my butt for months now.

Anybody tested a 12 port controller card that can do? With my setup I think I'm going to run out slots for drives.

ha thanks. hopefully the case i have will fit everything :-S if not i'll have to pick up a case and power supply well see through

just picked up the 64gb ram 2670 model one along with a gtx1080 and 3 8tb hd's

nice thanks I just picked up three

true thanks. wonder how it would fair with faster connection.

interesting what's your download and upload speeds?

i'm wondering if it would be possible to offload the streams decoding or encoding to a graphics card just thinking about the expense building something on par with a server grade setup vs using kaby lake cpu + in the setup

@tliptalk i think you might need to make a change in your bios i found this on another forum. this is the thread https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/intel-s2600cp-and-nvidia-gtx-1070-problem.11214/ i'm very interested in seeing how your 1060 works out i want to go with the natex setup with a 1070 or 1080 to do video editing via vm using adobe premiere. i wanted to see how feasible this is any insight you could provide would be awesome

plex would likely come up as two different host. so your system hostname would be one plex server and then your system hostname would be another plex server. i'm thinking if you want plex centralized you would probably need setup crashplan and then select one of unraid system as the main plex host and then use the other possibly as a backup say if one of the plex servers is down. likely want to use which over plex server has the best internet package. hopefully you don't have comcrap with bandwith limits on either if so go with the provider that doesn't have bandwidth limitations. would also be helpful if your service provider has a nice upload speed which will help with transferring files along with streaming files

I'm running into the same issue would love to know if there is a fix or a way around it. I noticed that filebot goes resource crazy with this setup it's destroys my cpu given it's renaming and copying the file to a new location vs renaming and moving.

I read a lot of books, just don't use this. If you're interested in ebooks then take a look at COPS for a brilliant way of browsing your library and emailing books to a kindle. you have a link for COPS? I'd be interested in checking it out http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51052.0 You need to point /books to the location of your calibre database. Edit the config-local.php file to enable emailing directly to Kindle. We're the official docker install for the application. Seb Lucas the author has done a wonderful job. Best part is Calibre doesn't even need to be running to serve up the library so it's light on resources. oh nice thanks for the details

Yeah, I have two s2600cp2j's each with (2) gt730's (for VMs), and a third s2600cp2j with (1) gtx1080 (win 10 on bare metal). nice so using the gt730's for gaming vm's? I'm wondering if you plan to virtualize your third s2600cp2j with the gtx1080 with unraid my setup goal would be to run possibly two gtx1080's in sli (if possible) for a virtal editing box with adobe premiere how much did your s2600cp2j's run you?

Def like the setup.

i'm thinking it would work via the passthrough. have you checked out the linus tech tips video when they run two win10 vm's via one unraid box? in theory you would just be adding two more cards to the setup that they are using now. 2 Gaming Rigs, 1 Tower - Virtualized Gaming Build Log This might helpful also 7 Gamers, 1 CPU - Ultimate Virtualized Gaming Build Log Will definitely be interested to see how your build goes though.

Nice. That setup looks lovely. You have Screenshots of your transfers over that 10gig connection?

might be able to take your windows vm and run something like sonarr (tv shows) and couchpotato (movies) to do automated downloads for your torrents maybe running filebot to clean up your automated downloads. I actually need to look at filebot again it runs my cpu crazy when i run it not sure if it's my version or something else

Sounds interesting. I'm guessing filebot doesn't fill the need?

nice thanks for the info!!!

Hi @tliptak Did you get the hardware yet? I'm interested in how that memory is working out as it's a good deal cheaper than what Natex are selling as part of the bundle deals. Is it even ECC? Very limited specs on the product page. Thanks I'm using the nanya ram on a different motherboard and it works fine. that's good to know that's the board I was eyeing on natex

This sounds interesting you have anymore details?

Just jumping on the thread to see how you get this going. I'll also be ordering a natex system in the future also. Which graphics cards are you going to grab up? I was thinking about going with 970 would prefer to get two but probably try to make it work with one. Addons I would like to add on to the natex board would be usb3 and/or usbc connection You might be able to skip the sound card and get audio via your graphics card over hdmi or displayport

got this running the other day great job i have recordings going. given im on time warner encryption is annoying but looks good recording to unraid via docker.

so it looks like my possible new board will only support one of these. I thought they were pci express (oops). If cool_runner is good with aptalca getting one and I get the other. I'm not opposed to that. Given all the awesome support aptalca has given over the years.
