Attackwave Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hi everyone, i'm new to LimeTechs Tower. I plan to switch my old Windows Server 2012 R2 build: - Supermicro H8-SCM-F - AMD OPTERON 4174HE 6 Core - 16GB RAM - 3x 2TB HDD WD Raid - 1x 128GB SSD Samsung Boot Services: Domain, Filer, Homematic To a new tower build: - MSI x99 Gaming 7, 40 Lanes - Intel Core i7-6850K, 6x 3.60GHz, 40 Lanes - 32GB Kit (2x16GB) Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-2400 CL16 - Maybe 2x MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC 4GB - HDD and SSD above 24/7 Services (Homematic,...) over Raspberry, Cubie, Tinker or another one. Is this configuration ok for 2 VM Gamers and 1-2 Server/Workstation VM (Applikations, Services only)? Gaming over inhouse Streaming, maybe Moonlight. I'm thinking about an AMD Threadripper build, too. But there is a problem with IOMMU groups, I hear. Quote Link to comment
Attackwave Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Can anyone say something about it? Does anyone have a similar build? Quote Link to comment
TinkerToyTech Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Sure this is how I helped another i7 dual gamer tweak his setup to work https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/59380-vm-core-assignments/ read through each of the replies, it'll cover the highlights in broad strokes, I can try to help more should you need it, if not me then others.

TinkerToyTech Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) you will need to look up the core pairings for your individual cpu, but if it's similar to mine (3770 4Cores, 8threads ) vm's, one for just the workstation / single gaming, one for gamer1, one for gamer2, one for other multiprocessing docker only duties such as Plex, FileBot, vpn + rutorrent, Krusader. cpu threads 0, 4 Unraid "root" processing minimum cpu threads 1, 5 misc. processing dual gamers: gamer#1 cpu threads 2,6 + gpu#1 + 3/8'ths of the ram gamer#2 cpu threads 3,7 + gpu#2 + 3/8th's of the ram Workstation: cpu threads 1,2,3, 5,6,7+gpu1+gpu2 3/4ths the ram docker "application" multi-processing: 1,2,3, 5,6,7 Edited August 17, 2017 by TinkerToyTech re-arrangement of paragraphs for "clarty" Quote Link to comment
