May 6, 20188 yr Hi, I'm new to unRAID and I've managed to figure out all but two issues that my Fix Common Problems plugin has notified me of: 1. CPU will possibly not throttle down frequency at idle. Your CPU is running constantly at 100% and will not th rottle down when it's idle (to save heat / power). This is because there is currently no CPU Scaling Driver Installed. Seek assistance on the unRaid forums with this issue. 2. You have a Ryzen CPU, but Zenstates not installed. Adding zenstates to your 'go' file can improve the stability of your system. I would love any basic direction with these, being a newcomer I'm not familiar with the basic ways to navigate and change these settings.
May 6, 20188 yr Author Could this fix issue 2: https://hub.docker.com/r/jonasprogrammer/docker-zenstates/ If so, is there anything I would have to do other than install it?

The command in built-in, you just need to run it: Quote If you are running Ryzen: Edit your \\tower\flash\config\go script (using a good editor like Notepad++ (not Notepad)) and add the "zenstates" command right before "emhttp", like this: /usr/local/sbin/zenstates --c6-disable /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & For the CPU scaling governor, if you install the Tips and Tweaks plugin you can select a governor (such as "on-demand") from there.

Thank you John, I'll give these solutions a try.

Remains an issue still, and I've tried setting the governor to "on demand" and "conservative" in the plugin, with no results. Do you think it may be a BIOS setting or some kind of Motherboard or CPU firmware? Not that I have any idea how to install many hardware updates outside of the Windows environment.

I'll give it a go, thank you. I did disable Cool 'n' Quiet when I was trying to fix a few of these issues, to begin with - I doubt it was the culprit. On a side note, do you know a way I can a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard to work so that I can get into BIOS? I'm guessing drivers in a Windows environment would normally allow this, however, I only have unRAID.
May 7, 20188 yr I've used Bluetooth keyboards and mice with Macs but not with unRAID. There are other wireless keyboards that use the same frequency band but a different protocol that "just work" - the little USB dongle just looks like a USB keyboard to the computer. I don't think the Bluetooth protocol stack is included in unRAID - at least I haven't seen any evidence of it being loaded at system boot.
May 8, 20188 yr Community Expert To be able to get into the BIOS the Bluetooth support would need to be built into the BIOS itself (which is the case on modern Macs), but unlikely to be the so on your unRAID hardware. The keyboards that come with a dongle appear to the host as USB keyboards and support for USB keyboards IS built into the BIOS.
