  1. Try installing the tips and tricks plugin and change the CPU guvernor to performance. Wow! There we go! That's a heck of a lot better. Still happening every 5 minutes or so, but much more manageable and only lasts for 10-20 seconds and then speeds way back up! Any other suggestions to eliminate the issue completely? Thanks!
  2. Many things have changed since my previous post. I have a new PSU and I've replaced the 290 with a GTX 1070. Still having the same issues. What I have noticed though, is that if I open CPU-Z whilst running games etc, is that the CPU frequency jumps down and then the stuttering happens. I've been trying since my last post all kinds of stuff, CPU pinning, usb passthrough, using fewer cores, hyper-v on/off.. Pretty much following from what this post include: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46664.105 to no avail. I've also tried disabling C-States, Hyperthreading, Turboboost, EIST etc with no changes. Something interesting to note, if I run a stress test (prime95) and play a game (have been testing with CS:GO/WoW) the framerate jumps back up and the stuttering stops. I have tried to remediate this by disabling p-states, but this had no effect. I did see a forum post somewhere about keeping the CPU pinned/changing min_scale_frequency but when I tried this the setting didn't seem to stick? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  3. Just a quick update on this. It appears there's nothing wrong with the Unraid install/VM's. I tried a fresh install without Unraid and experienced the same issues. Appears to be some sort of PSU issue (possibly that the CPU is drawing too much power) I've been meaning to replace these two components anyway so I have a new PSU and GPU coming. Will update when they've both arrived and see if this has solved my issue. The issue with my 290 does seem to disappear when the second card is unplugged, which as what has lead me to this conclusion.
  4. I'm stumped honestly. Been messing about with this for a few days now and can't seem to get any kind of result. Basically, when I try to run games on my R9 290, every 5-10 seconds, there's a 5-10 window where the game lags massively. I believe that this is down to CPU frequency scaling. Switching from the 290 and throwing in a new PSU has eliminated the 5-10 second issue. The issue appears at random points now, every minute or so, then doesn't go away for a minute or two. Setup: Xeon 2670v3 MSI X99 SLI PLUS 32GB DDR4 R9 290 GTX 1070 GTX 950 Blackwidow Ultimate Naga Chroma (I'm including keyboard and mouse, due to reading in a previous thread similar to this that someone was having similar issues with that combination). Not currently passing through any USB controllers. Have passed through USB 2 controller for mouse and keyboard. This fixed any funkiness (random disconnects, sluggishness and random movements). Things tried: 1. Stopping all docker applications and plugins to reduce overhead 2. Assigning 4-12 cores to the VM (excluding core 0) 3. Using the VM that has the GTX 950 passed to it (works perfectly) 4. Trying both OVMF and SeaBios installs (same issue, though seems more apparent on SeaBios) 5. Passing through the GTX 950 to the Windows install that was running the 290, works perfectly 6. Passing through onboard sound, graphics card sound (from the 290) and having no sound all result in the same issue 7. Trying a fresh Windows 10 install 8. Passing through USB controllers (made no difference, so I removed the passthrough for testing) 9. Disabling Speedstep in BIOS 10. Stress testing both GPU and CPU (neither thermal throttle, and 290 stays at max clock speed throughout, even when in game). 11. Enabled and disabled PCIE ACS, no difference. One thing to note, the motherboard, CPU and RAM are new to this build, the graphics card and storage devices are from a previous build, as is my Unraid install. Is it possible this is causing issues? Also with having no on-board graphics, my primary GPU that Unraid boots to console with is the 290, would it make a difference to swap the 290 and 950 around to see if the issue then occurs on the 950? The only thing I can think of now is trying a different keyboard and mouse combination, which I will do when I get back from work tomorrow. Edit: Used different keyboard and mouse and this made no difference. I've a diagnostic log so hopefully someone will be able to find something. Any other suggestions would be great! Thanks! limecake-diagnostics-20161108-0120.zip
  5. Just a quick update to this, in the latest beta release 6.2.0 (22) my crashing issues have been resolved and my Rift is now working perfectly under the VM. Thanks for your help!
  6. Hi guys, having an issue here which has left me pulling my hair out. I've got a Rift DK2 that I'd like to pass through to one of my VM's. In the current stable release, neither the Rift headset or the camera appear in the VM Manager (though they are listed with blank names in "System Devices"). I've tried every trick in the book for trying to pass through the device/controller with no avail (though I'm not saying I haven't done anything wrong here, I'm still new so that's possible). After updating to the latest beta release (at time of writing: 6.2.0 beta 21) I can select the device in the VM Manager and all is good, just due to the nature of the software being in beta form, I was experiencing crashes when the VM's started up that completely locked the whole system (tried remedying this, but appears that other people are having similar issues and it was just easier to roll back). Has anyone else had these issues with a DK2? If so, what do you have to do to fix them? Thanks, Chess
  7. Full time n00b when it comes to Unraid, this'll be my first time experimenting with the product and just want to ask around to see if what I'm trying to achieve is at all possible. I have an install at the moment (10 Pro) on my main rig, and am looking to install unraid and run two machines from there. Is it at all possible to virtualise my current OS/restore a VHD from a backup onto the unraid configured drive? Another question is: can I attach my NTFS configured data drives on, or will these need to be reformatted? (Admittedly I haven't googled this now I think about it) Thanks for the help
