  1. ok good to know that it's possible to get it lower! But unfortunately it's the least of my worries now Can't have the host crash on every reboot.
  2. Yeah seems we're on the same boat then. I've also tried booting "bare metal" and all is fine! The GPU does a pretty decent job in the games I play. Could have been the best €290 ever spend, if only I could get it to work in my Gaming VM... What about that bluetooth? Is that maybe for RGB LED's or something? Never heard of a GPU with integrated BT 😂
  3. Ok thanks a lot for clarifying that! Most discussions I encountered where from like a year ago, so I hoped things got better by now. I could opt for keeping the VM powered on all the time, but the GPU's 40W idle makes that a big no no 😅
  4. Hi all, I picked up an Arc A770 during black Friday as an upgrade to my 1060. I was kind of hesitating because I couldn’t find definitive answers if the card would work for my use case or not, but I couldn’t resist the bang for buck 😊 Maybe I should not be as cheap in the future, because now I run into some deal-breaking-issues. Searching these forums, Reddit, etc gave me a lot of info, but it did not clarify everything unfortunately. So I’ll try my luck here: First my relevant hardware and use case: ASRock Intel Arc A770 Challenger 16GB OC Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Samsung 990 Pro 1TB Unraid Version: 6.12.5 The SSD is passed through directly as a (newly created) Windows 11 Pro VM. My goal is to use this VM for gaming. It worked flawlessly with my previous setup (Win10 & nvidia 1060). But now with the A770 I run into the following issues: The VM boots up just fine with the A770 passed through (After setting Hyper-V to No). But when shutting down the VM, the Unraid host locks up and can only be reset the hard way... With a monitor connected to a second GPU, the last messages are something along the lines of: vfio-pci 000:0e:00.0: not ready 1234ms after FLR: waiting This happens ONLY when the sound card of the GPU is also passed through. ReBAR is reported as disabled in Intel software and performance is sub-par. It is enable in system BIOS though (together with Above 4G something..) Now googling these symptoms give a lot of hits. But not a definitive answer. I saw some tweaks etc in this forum, but not sure if they are still relevant to the current Unraid version. So my main question is: Will the above issues be resolved when I use a custom kernel with Linux 6.2+ ? Or am I better of returning the card and spend a few hundred bucks more if I want a seamless experience? EDIT: is this also your usecase @SimonF ? And did you get it working?
  5. For anyone still struggling with getting an APC UPS to connect with Unraid using a Network Management Card (like I did for the last couple of hours...), this might help: in the newer interface of the NMS, setting the user and passphrase for PCnet is done at: Configuration > Shutdown Very hard miss in my opinion.
  6. Same happened here (v6.9.2). Tried many things and in the end got it working by: installing HA as a VM instead of docker, installing the Deconz add-on (not the integration, but the HA add-on). This add-on makes it possible to use Phoscon from within the HA interface. I can add devices from there and then they show up in the Deconz integration. I'm glad I got it working and am now able to tinker with home automation, but I'm still wondering: - Can it not work without the Deconz add-on, just using ZHA integration? - I can not use ZHA integration now, because the USB is "taken" by the Deconz add-on. So what am i missing out of? Is ZHA a lot better? - Why do some people use Zigbee2MQTT? What is the benefit of that?
  7. I've managed to start the VM (Win10) using your method, but Windows device managers just shows it as a "unknown device" and "SCSI-controller". It will not install the drivers from virtio-win-0.1.160-1.iso. How did you get windows to install the correct drivers???
  8. I have pretty much the same hardware and can't find a way either. Did you (or anybody) found a solution yet?
