Need help setting up Unraid on my 2990WX


Recommended Posts

I will start with the Hardware I have and then explain what I want to do with it.

 

CPU: AMD Threadripper 2990WX (stock)

RAM: 64GB ECC Memory (oc from 2666 to 3200)

GPU: x1 EVGA GT 710 (for unraid), x2 GTX 1070ti (for gaming vm's)

MOB: Gigabyte X399 Aorus Xtreme

SSD: x1 Samsung Pro 850 256GB, x3 Samsung 860 EVO 256GB

M.2: x3 Samsung 970 Pro 512GB NVMe SSD

PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1600W T2

RAID: MegaRaid Controler with x6 WD Gold 10TB HDDs

(CPU, RAM, x2 1070ti are watercooled by EKWB Gear)

 

My goal with this build is to have 2 Gaming VM's, 1 Rendering, Number Crunching and Streaming VM, and 3 smaller VM's to host game servers on (eg. Minecraft, Factorio etc)

 

I would like the break down to go something like this...

 

- 32 Threads, 20GB Ram, for Streaming and Rendering PC (on one of the NVMe drives)
- 8 Threads, 10GB Ram, 1070Ti for first gaming machine (on one of the NVMe drives)
- 8 Threads, 10GB Ram, 1070Ti for second gaming machine (on one of the NVMe drives)
- 4 Threads, 6GB RAM, for Factorio Server (on one of the EVO 860 SSD)
- 4 Threads, 6GB RAM, for Mincraft Server (on one of the EVO 860 SSD)
- 4 Threads, 6GB RAM, for another game server (on one of the EVO 860 SSD)
- 4 Threads, 6GB RAM, GT 710 for unraid + file server (Cache drive on a half partition on the PRO 850 SSD, If at all possible)[I use the other half for a windows install that boots the whole pc together]

- And the MegaRaid Controler supplying a Raid 6 drive to the Streaming and Rendering PC, or all of them if possible.

 

I know it should be possible and ive watched some videos on how to get started but nothing seems to cover the depth of my build.

Im also open to any suggestions on how to make this more efficient if it can be.

 

Any help will be much appreciated
