January 19, 20233 yr 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
January 29, 20233 yr 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.
January 29, 20233 yr 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.
February 18, 20233 yr 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, 20233 yr by Lexron
February 19, 20233 yr 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...
March 15, 20233 yr 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.

March 16, 20233 yr 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.
March 16, 20233 yr 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!
