So I decided to get into UnRAID a while ago to replace my Synology device that just doesn't cover my needs anymore. I first set it up on a Ryzen 3200g and msi b450i for trsting and it ran just fine.

I then moved the flash drive and HDDs into my main PC with a Ryzen 2600x with the goal to virtualize my windows 10 gaming machine. That's when the trouble started. First I saw random hard crashes that could only be solved with a reset. I must have done like 20 parity checks before I set "power supply idle control" to "common current idle" which seems to have fixed it. Fingers crossed.

Then I went to pass through my nvme drive to a Windows 10 vm. Turns out my adata sx8200 SSD has a shitty controller. There was a kernel patch at some point but it got pulled before release again since it was only a workaround and no fix. Then there was an option to mitigate the shitty controller by editing the XML of the VM but I never got that to work. Guess I'll just mount it as an unassigned device and point my default vdisk location there...

Alright, windows installed, now let's get that 5700xt passed through... Nope! I had it running at some point and then learned about the AMD reset bug affecting me so I got the 6.8.3 kernel with the workaround patch for the bug applied. Since then I can not get it to output the VM's screen. Best I got was the boot screen with weird artifacting going on...

All I wanted was for my main PC to also pull NAS duty and my windows install to be virtualized on top. I thought to access UnRAID I would only need to shut down the VM and bam, back to the dashboard.

Instead I've got a Ryzen 5 2600x, 5700xt and an adata nvme drive that are flaky at best or straight up not working at all. I don't mind tinkering and googling for solutions all night long but I'm well past it being a challenge and it has turned into a pain in the butt.
