Skrumpy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) During gaming my parity (usually) and sometimes another drive will get above normal operating temps. This otherwise only happens during a parity check. My VM OS and all games are installed to a passthrough NVME dedicated to the VM. Using unRaid as a daily driver, TR 3960x v6.9.2 with my Win 10 VM xml below. Anyone have any thoughts on why these non-VM drives are getting hot while not utilizing them directly? Also if you're parsing through it, any additional optimization tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
