Tuftuf Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just now, killeriq said: so ur using the "rom dump file" right? Yeah i have the same issue with UEFI spend couple of days on that till i find it out Yup I dumped the vbios (rom file) on the 670 myself and used it, I had to borrow a GPU off a friend to get it working Tomorrow I'm hoping to use the hex editor method for the 1080ti and hopefully will be able to do it easy enough since I have two of them coming. TBH I don't really need windows on this machine but I want a benchmark before I try getting a docker mining on the gpus. This machine has turned into a little more server than desktop since I let a few friends have access to my plex server Quote Link to comment

Asus Radeon 6450 1GB (Desktop) Graphics Card, no UEFI as of yet. Sorry, can't help you with the NVIDIA stuff. May I ask what's the pros/cons are to using UEFI, from an unRAID perspective?

How do u want to mine? create Linux VM with nvOC or something like that and let it run? ...minig my my original idea...but 3 card do lot of heat, so ive put 12x 1080ti on water into Rig Quote Link to comment

Really I'm just collecting gpus before building them into a separate rig which might be sooner than planned due to the overall system temperature at the moment. I've looked at nvOC and a few others, also thought about an ubnutu vm and using docker myself but that was mainly for testing on unraid. Looked at some of the 12 and 16gpu systems recently, still making plans. You don't happen to have a parts list for your system do you? Quote Link to comment

Greygoose Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just finished my new rig x1800, asrock itachi, 32gb ddr3 3000mhz, Nvidia 1030 GT passed thro to VM running offical UNRAID 6.4 Not a single issue, past several hours its been rock solid whilst stress testing in VM. 1 Quote Link to comment

Did you disable C6 or "global C states" in bios? The hang typically happens when everything goes idle. Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) These are enabled. The only leg work i did in unraid was the XML within the VM to pass thro the nvidia gfx card. The system is 24/7 on so will see tomorrow and report back. Edited January 19, 2018 by Greygoose Quote Link to comment

AMD claims to be rolling out bios updates for this issue, what is the date on your bios? Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have the most latest from the Asrock website 3.20 I have had the VM running and working within the VM so the system hasnt been idle. I have shutdown the VM and will leave idle tonight. Quote Link to comment
luisv Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks @Greygoose and @limetech . Sounds promising as Asus released BIOS v3404 for my motherboard today. I'll give it try over the weekend. Edited January 19, 2018 by luisv Quote Link to comment

Thanks Quote Link to comment
killeriq Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 seems like this is new... on Asus x370pro 3404, dont recall seeing it on 3402,can someone confirm?also what is it for?thanks Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

I shutdown all dockers and VM's and left the unit overnight. It was fine, no lockup. I did speak to a friend who has same, MB,CPU,Ram. He said his system paused after around 1hr and had to apply the fix seen in Sapce invaders video for ryzen build. The difference between my system and his system is I overclocked my CPU and adjusted all the settings in the bios voltages/etc. Quote Link to comment

Maybe consider posting your results in the main Bugzilla topic: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 Adjusting voltages may be another workaround. Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I will take pictures of all bios pages and post here today and can refer back to here on the bugzillia thread. Also, a big thankyou for Unraid. I completly love this platform and community, i have introduced a few friends to it and i cant see myself ever being without it Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Here is my bios setting. I started a fresh USB unraid today to be sure it was not my old config from my other system.. It was fine for 4 hours idle, no issues. Quote Link to comment

Very similar build here! I have the same mobo, but with a 1700x and 16GB DDR4 3000mhz (Corsair Vengeance LPX.). It's nice to see someone running similar hardware in the forums to potentially bounce issues / ideas off of. I had been running the RCs from about 11 or 12 onward without issues, currently on 6.4 official. I have about a dozen Dockers running, and a simple Windows 10 VM with a GTX 1080 passed through for Nicehash. I haven't had a single lockup ever. Bios version has been 3.2 since I bought the mobo a couple months ago. I echo your sentiments about UnRaid and the community here. A few friends of mine are now running UnRaid because of my raving about it too. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi Snazz, Have you tried to pass thro a second GFX card, I want 2 VMS running and both having their own monitors/keyboards/mouse etc. Quote Link to comment

I would guess that if I'm able to do that, you should be able to pass a 2nd GPU to a 2nd VM successfully. I'll update this thread with results if/when I give it a try. Quote Link to comment
Greygoose Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I just did it GPU 1 running Windows 10 VM GPU 2 running windows 10 VM Both running 3 core, 8gb ram, and independent keyboard and mouse. What I have noticed tho, is the XML file drops out the VBIOS command and I have to reenter. This happens randomly so hopefully, someone can explain why it does this. EDIT: When i say randomly, it appears to happen when i stop VMs and change other settings within the VM. Maybe the XML is reloaded back to default config (most likely) when editing the VM config under the VM EDIT function Edited January 21, 2018 by Greygoose Quote Link to comment
