CappiSteijns Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hello fellow Unraid users, I am planning on upgrading my current server to something with more power. Currently running 32 containers. Including Plex Media Server. But I notice when I want to use a VM (Ubuntu) the cpu will spike to 80% without even doing something in the VM. My Idea is to run OBS in a VM but it isn't doable because the cpu will max out. Will my upgrade be any help? Current build: Intel® Core™ i3-10100 CPU PRIME B460M-A 32 DDR4 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB New Build: Intel® Core™ i9-13900K MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi DDR4 32 DDR4 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB I am aware of the higher power consumption. So I will have to Upgrade my PSU from SeaSonic 550 to a 850. Any help, tips and or advice are welcome Quote Link to comment
fotd Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 You may want to check around on the b660 chipset with 13th gen cpu. I thought I read there were some issues with power consumption and overheating. Something about not being able to adjust pl1/2 settings. Unless you already have it I’d think going for a z790/690 would make more sense for the added pcie lanes. Quote Link to comment
Interstellar Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Agreed that board is not suitable for a 13900K. I'm getting one but running a i5-13500 on it (154W Turbo, apparently). 7 E-cores for UnRAID, 1 E-core for Opnsense, 6 P-cores for Windows 10 VM. Quote Link to comment
Lexron Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I run 13900k with msi mag b660m mortar wifi ddr4 and not see any issues or overheating. Only use my pc for gaming if that matters. Edited February 18, 2023 by Lexron Quote Link to comment
Malakai Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 B660 only has x16 lanes to the first PCIE slot, x4 PCIE lanes to the first M.2 slot and x4 PCIE lanes to the chipset that everything else that plugs into the board will run through. You need to count up the amount of PCIE lanes all your hardware needs to run at full bandwidth then choose a MB that has enough. Otherwise a lot of things will share bandwidth through the 4 chipset lanes. It will work but... Quote Link to comment
dank2021 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I have this board and can not seem to get unRAID to boot. Any help would be appreciated I think my boot settings aren't correct just goes to the bios every option I have tried so far. Quote Link to comment

Does usb flash drive show in boot options? 1 Quote Link to comment
Malakai Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Did you create the USB as UEFI or legacy? 1 Quote Link to comment
dank2021 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Shows in boot options. I believe it is UEFI I am upgrading from a Dell t30 which booted fine. Trying to turn fast boot off now. Quote Link to comment
dank2021 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Figured it out melakei thanks for pointing me in the proper direction I needed to change the folder EFI. Had to remove the trailing dash. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment
Grobalt Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Did you manage to get c10 states on that board ? Quote Link to comment
