I had the 3 16TB drives setup as a Storage Space in parity. Used some command line trickery to get it to use the Samsung 870 EVO as a cache but only saw writes in the neighborhood of 25MB/s and the reads while often in the 70MB/s range could periodically be borked in a way to require me to restart my Plex server. With the unraid server I was hoping to have better IO performance to the point where I could run games off of a share (something I was unable to do on Storage Spaces in parity) as well as address a performance/reliability issue I kept having with my heavy multitasked loads and background processes by unloading some of those tasks to plugins and dockers. My entire life happens within Windows so I am happy to consider an alternative that can help me run the storage array in a manner that suites my needs while helping me cut some of the bloat that ends up causing my system to hiccup and hang.

No I don't have a second GPU for the host. That's what I was doing before but I lost a disk and it caused an unexpected amount of chaos and the slow access speeds when in a parity array were a little much even as a media server. I tried accelerating it with a SSD cache using some Windows Server tools but the performance was still subpar.

I'm using: Ryzen 3900X Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 32GB Nemix ECC 3200Mhz RAM 3X 16TB Seagate Exos 1 TB Inland (Probably Corsair) Nvme 4.0 SSD 1 TB Adata NVME 3.0 SSD 1 TB Samsung 870 Evo There does not appear to be any relevant events in the log as far as I can tell.

Hi there I am new to Unraid so this may be a rookie mistake but I setup a Windows10 VM using the virtual display driver at first. A lot of the tutorials out there are getting old enough that they are becoming just out of date enough to cause issues. After some trial and error I got that to work fine. Then I attempted to pass through a newly acquired EVGA 3080Ti to the VM. When I try to boot the VM I get nothing. The status symbol still says stopped and the red arrows just keep spinning. If I move away from the VM Manager screen and try to come back the GUI never renders the VM manager again with no error codes. I should also note that when I try to reboot the server it never fully cycles down and I have to do a hard power off in order to reboot. I am assuming I did something wrong here. Can anyone shine some light on the issue for me?

So since I last posted this I have gone through a bit of an RMA journey. I have tested or replaced: the switch motherboard CPU PSU The behavior continues pretty much exactly the same. The only common parts left are my GPU, RAM, and storage drives. I have rigorously tested the GPU and that seems fine. The RAM is actually behaving better than ever where I used to have issues with the system posting half the time. I have found a correlation between ambient temperature, chassis fan speed, and the behavior. Current theory is the Inland 1TB PCIe 4.0 boot drive which is one of those early units using the notoriously hot Phison controllers but for whatever reason none of my drives are reporting temperatures or other S.M.A.R.T. data points.

The problem is that I'm trying to setup a cellular failover which outside mega dollar solutions is hard to come by after Netgear discontinued the LB2120. I am now looking for a router that has similar capability because I remember Asus used to have a whole line of routers with built in failover.

Thanks for the answer here. That was about the answer I was expecting. The big thing killing me is getting access to my customer's router and training my installers so I am trying to find a way where they don't have the need to mess with networking outside of the physical installation.

Hey everyone, I am no developer or anything like that but I have been put in charge of the development of an IOT product. It requires a strange network setup that will have me installing a router behind my customer's router for my IOT device. This requires port forwarding for some remote access capabilities. If I ship my product with the ports forwarded in my router will it still forward the ports through my customer's router? Or do the same ports need to be forwarded in their router as well? Thank in advanced for any advice you can give me!

I tried reseating the memory. Its not exactly a crash (No BSOD). It just turns off. But then immediately turns back on.

I have uncovered a further (Possibly unrelated/ possibly related) issue. The entire PC restarts itself at random. I can get the behavior consistently when trying to put a synthetic benchmark on the CPU like Cinebench. But I do get random occurrences of it. This behavior feels like some kind of protective behavior of the CPU but my temps seem ok up until at least the last readings I see in HWInfo. Anyone have any ideas?

I can't say I fixed it, but my PC is now working. Whatever the problem was/is it was going so far as preventing me from doing a fresh installation of Windows on my main drive. So I installed a fresh image on one of my game drives that I didn't mind reformatting and once I got everything up and running I cloned that drive back over to my main drive. I did manage to save the few files I did not have any backup for by using Linux to access to the main drive's directory. Several hours later things seem to be ok. We will see if any other issues arise.

So I'm thinking something may have gone weird with the Motherboard. I've tried installing Windows on another drive with no luck. May try Linux on a thumb drive just to see

I am getting a "Boot Drive Inaccessible" BSOD when I try to boot my PC up. Thing is that boot drive is accessible enough to get into the advance troubleshooting menu in Windows. I cannot utilize the advance troubleshooting tools because for some reason it thinks my password is something else other than what I know it to be. It gets even more odd, since I am restarting so much trying to troubleshoot this problem another possibly related problem has appeared. Sometimes the motherboard is not detecting that there is any RAM installed and various drives do not appear in BIOs at random. This is a relatively new setup (less than a year): AMD 3900X Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 16GB of Ballistix Elite NVidia 2070 Super Boot Drive: Corsair Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 1TB NVMe Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB + Samsung 860 Evo 1TB + 3X Seagate HDD Exos X16 Recent changes: Bios Update v 3.00 (Update AMD AGESA Combo-AM4 V2 1.0.0.2) Refreshed Windows Has been working fine for the past couple of days. I did install AMD StoreMI 2.0 as I was going to experiment with it but I doubt it could cause this problem but its certainly possible. Troubleshooting taken so far: Tried built in Windows recovery options but have so far failed due to the beforementioned password bug. Rolled BIOs back to earlier version. Set BIOs to "Default" Checked boot order Ripped it apart and put it back together Any help would be greatly appreciated. This PC is my work, play, and life all in one. UPDATE: I ended up having to reformat my drive and get things going that way but issues persist. I have uncovered a further (Possibly unrelated/ possibly related) issue. The entire PC restarts itself at random. I can get the behavior consistently when trying to put a synthetic benchmark on the CPU like Cinebench. But I do get random occurrences of it. This behavior feels like some kind of protective behavior of the CPU but my temps seem ok up until at least the last readings I see in HWInfo. Anyone have any ideas?

@Dravinian I toyed with the concept briefly but haven't put in the time and effort quite yet. At this point I'd be happy with stock speeds that ran cooler. Living in a small studio apartment with no AC really let's you know you have this behemoth of a PC sitting next to you!

I've basically been forced to leave my 3900X stock. I think I lost the silicon lottery in every way imaginable except the CPU functions. I can get kinda get 4.1Ghz at 1.35v but even at that it isn't terribly stable and will run 95C and on all core load with a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro for cooling. Stock will run the same test at 95C at around 4Ghz so I leave it stock.

Been running my 2070 Super 24/7 still having some trouble getting all that many WU's so I'm sitting at 3.1M points. Had to take my CPU offline since F@H has uncovered something terribly wrong with my cooling on my 3900X. 95C at 3.9 GHz. Not like it is really throttling but 95C scares me in a sustained load. Waiting for some thermal paste to arrive so I can try to remount my be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.

Thank you so much for your help both of you. I am now folding away!

I've had my machine signed up for 24+ hours and still have yet to receive a WU. I'm feeling a bit lonely now.

Seriously? How embarrassing. No wonder I couldn't find it. I rarely watch his videos and almost exclusively LTT so I just assumed that's where I saw it. Thanks!

There was a recent LTT video showing how pretty much any GPU is good for encoding in Adobe Premiere but for the life of me, I cannot seem to find it. Anybody care to share a link?

When I try to OC via the bios I set it to fixed and I have tried voltages all the way up to 1.375v and had the Input Voltage set to 1.9 (I'll give 2.0 a try). That was an unstable OC. It boots but when I run a stress test through Aida 64 it usually fails pretty quickly. The A-Tune OC doesn't give me many options except for if the voltage is adaptive or fixed and what the clocks and voltages are but other than the weird thing with the multiplier it does pass a 12 hour stress test on Aida 64. I do however get a strange freeze somewhere around 30 seconds into the stress test that lasts about 30 seconds to a minute but the rest of the test goes smoothly.

When I look up what clock speed its running through Aida 64 or A-Tune sometimes it shows a speed of 3.4GHz with a multiplier of 34 and sometimes a speed of 4.3GHz with a multiplier of 43 all while it should be in a state with the multiplier at 43. I ran an encoding test using handbrake and only saw 3.4 GHz while encoding and both programs showed the multiplier being at 34 during this time.

Peek temps are in the low to mid 70's but mostly stay in the mid to high 60's. The cooler is a 140mm NZXT Kraken X41.

I'm trying to overclock a PC I just bought that's going to be a gift for someone in my family and am having trouble getting a stable overclock via the bios on a 6800k. When I OC via the automated tool within Windows its more or less stable at 4.3GHz and a core voltage of 1.25 with a .1 offset but inconsistent in how it applies the multiplier and much rather have it implemented at the bios level to avoid this. The motherboard is an ASRock X99E-ITX/ac and I'm using the A-Tuning for the automated OC. However, when I try to manually do the OC in the bios and utilize the same settings listed in A-Tuning I come up with an unstable OC and cannot even get a stable 100MHz OC via bios. What am I missing? Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.
