SPOautos Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I have a W10vm for gaming that I want to give it as much cpu/ram as I can. I've got a Xeon 2690v3 (12 physical cores) and 32GB of RAM. Here is what I've got going on... I moved Plex off of Unraid and onto a Shield TV, this way the files are still stored in Unraid but all the work is done in the Shield so that's not hitting it hardly at all. I also have dockers running for Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, SAB, Nzbget....but they dont seem to take up a lot of cpu/ram. I occasionally will have to run makeMKV which does use some resources but not a ton and not all that often. Then there are times when Unraid is checking the parity....that seems to use some resource. I think about 25% cpu. If I had only 2 cores pinned for Unraid would it still work fine but just take longer to do things (such as running the parity check or MakeMKV?? Also if I left Unraid with 4-8GB or RAM would that be plenty? I never see the RAM getting hit very hard. Quote Link to comment

That will inevitably lead to a slower system, both the VM and the server. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/93358-accessing-unraid-gui-causes-vm-stutter/?do=findComment&comment=864668 Quote Link to comment
