Tuftuf Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Build details CPU Ryzen 7 1700 Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming 5 RAM CMK32GX4M2A2666C16R 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Vengeance LPX 1x WD Red 4 TB Parity 1x WD Red 4 TB Data 1x WD Black 2TB Data 1x Seagate 2TB Spare 1x Seagate 1.5TB Spare (Unplugged, now moved to old PC) Initially ACS override was enabled, that is now disabled. Currently do not see the need for it. EDIT - Performance improved with ACS Override on even with 1 GPU. Main purpose of the server is to provide Plex, TVHeadend and run some linux VM's for work. Passing through the GPU for games was a bonus. Use-case VM Windows 10 - 8 Cores, (8,10,12,14,15,13,11 & 9) RAM 12GB GPU Passthrough Nvidia 670 (Required .rom Edit) Unfortunately Seabios as I can’t get my windows 10 installer to boot UEFI yet) VM Windows 10 - 2 Cores (4 & 6) RAM 4GB Running Blueiris CCTV VM Ubuntu (QEMU CPU) 2 Core (? & ?) Ryzen HostCPU passthrough, causes Unraid to crash. RAM 4GB Running nginx for TVHeadend/Plex proxy script (HDHomerun) -- Running but not using it anymore. Docker TVHeadend PCIE x1 Quad DVB-T2 x1 PCIE x1 Octo DVB-S2 x1 USB 2x DVB-T (Due to be removed) USB 1x DVB-T2 (Due to be removed) Docker - Plex, MinecraftPE, Unifi Initially was running with an AMD 7950 & Nivida 670. Both were passed through to separate windows VM's but only to the point that drivers were installed. Changes coming within days... Docker TVHeadend - WIP DONE - All three USB DVB adaptors are been replaced with Hauppauge WinTV-Quad HD DONE - Also adding DVB-S2 TBS6909 DVB-S2 8 Tuner PCIe Card - Octo Tuner DONE - WinTV-Quad -- Signal not the best... Replace cooler with H100i V2 - I have the bracket now, but not sure if I see the need to use this cooler anymore. Edited May 31, 2017 by Tuftuf updating Quote Link to comment

Tuftuf Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Main issues C-State needed to be disabled due to stability issues. Cannot boot Ubnutu VM's with CPU Passthrough (Seems to be a known Ubuntu issue) Noticed if you have a second keyboard and mouse on the unraid system when passing through primary GPU, the unraid system is still visible underneath. Each keypress or mouse movement makes unraid UI reappear on the screen. This is easily avoided by not having a second keyboard and mouse connected directly to unraid if using the Primary GPU slot. GPU passthrough required the rom file adding to the XML settings (Would be nice to have a way to keep manual edits) No temperature sensors for this motherboard.

Saintdogz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 This is going to fix ouor problem. I am also building a similar system with 1700 + GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming 5 with 64 gigs of ram. IOMMU will be fixed my man Regards, Saintdog Quote Link to comment
Tuftuf Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I was running with ACS override and two GPU's for a couple of days. Then without ACS Override and 1 GPU. I can't say for certain but when I then enabled ACS Override again with only 1 GPU. It seemed to solve all the GPU slow down issues I was having in games, FPS used to drop for a few seconds then return up to normal. Only recently have I seen GPU usage reach 80-90% before the CPU tops out. I'll edit my first post, but I'm now running two PCI TV Tuners DVB-S2 and T2 in the PCIE 1x slots. Feel free to let me know how you get on with 64GB ram. I bought my current RAM as it appeared to be the same as sold within the 64GB kit, with the goal of adding another two 16GB's at some point.
