Threadripper 3060X - Performance optimization


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I have recently built a new server with a Threadripper 3060X and I'm having a really hard time making it work with decent performances. I've watched SpaceinvadorOne video (but it seems it doesn't really apply to the 30xx generation). I've also gone through several topic on this forum with no result (except that someone made it work on Proxmox).

 

I have tried several things already :

- 6 cores with nvme passthrough : https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/49139639

- 12 cores with nvme passthrough : https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/49138713

- 12 cores with nvme VDisks : https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/49132565

 

I found someone with a similar setup here that has done a way better benchmark (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/31430866).

https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/i500o3/threadripper_3960x_rebuild_cache_pools_what_do/

 

Thank you in advance !

You'll find below the XML for the 6 cores with nvme passthrough (lastest conf) :
