tpruszin Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Im lost with what else to try My VM's seem to be unable to run at the same Clock Speed as the host In VM's Unraid Host: $lscpu | grep MHz CPU MHz: 4300.040 Ubuntu Guest Q35 3.1 Lscpu | grep MHz CPU MHz: 3190.244 MacOS Guest Q35 3.1 MacCPUID TSC Frequency 3,199,999 (Hz) Windows 10 Guest PC-i440fx 3.1 CPUID Core Speed 3192.00 MHz Host is Intel i7-8700 Unraid 6.7.0 All machines are using <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> with the exception of the extra -cpu flags for macOS virus capabilities shows host as Skylake-client-IBRS rather then CoffeeLake which is what happens if setting VM to mode=host-model The VM also acknowledged both changes in the CPU architecture but clock speeds stay the same Hopefully that's enough information for someone to help.

bastl Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 @tpruszin Open a shell to unraid and run the following watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo Now watch the cores you have assigned to the VM when you do some heavy load in the VM. In most cases you won't see the correct frequencies in the VM jumping up and down like on a real system. I have a Windows VM always reporting 4GHz no matter if idling or on heavy load, Aida and other software inside the VM reports 217MHz all the time. A Mint VM always reports 400MHz where on onraid itself you will see the exact frequencies jumping around depending on the load. Don't trust the numbers you see inside the VM. Quote Link to comment

Interesting thank you had to remove the \\ but UNRaid is showing the cores correctly but only with topology passed through without windows VM stuck and only shows 4 cores rather than 12 but the Host does still turbo boost and show all cores working when running benchmark in the guest Quote Link to comment
