Ryzen 7000 Testing

@etorix

Appreciate the detailed information. I’ve seen some of your recent posts on the TrueNAS forum.

I have the luxury of experimenting and learning and making mistakes! The configuration of this NAS will most certainly evolve over the coming days until I settle on a final configuration.

I’ll experiment with deduplication as well because that’s a topic that fascinates me despite the copious amounts of warnings or cautionary tales. If it is simply impractical, I have no problem to resort to file compression or even no compression.

Compression is essentially free and there's no reason to turn it off, even for holding "already compressed" files such as JPEG or MP4: Lz4 and zstd are designed to handle the case gracefully. Compression comes in addition to dedup if you want to experiment with it, and I'm curious about the results.
Just be aware that turning off dedup does NOT remove it: The new setting will affect new data, but if dedup was turned on at any point, deduped data will remain deduped, there will still be a DDT, to be looked up for each and every operation on the old data—and the corresponding requirements for holding the DDT in RAM to speed up these operations. The only way to completely remove dedup is to delete the deduped dataset, or to delete the whole pool if dedup was enabled at pool level (preferably after copying the data to a new dataset without dedup!).

This ssdt is only for chipset AM5 :
(if you have a different amd chipset or intel you need to change the path)

thanks for the 6950xt aml... having issues trying to boot with it. I just place it in I OC/ACPI/SSDT-RX6950XT.aml and have it load with config.plist?

I think I need to change the device-id still?

You should be able to boot into the desktop even without the correct device ID info, but hardware acceleration / Metal will not work.

are you sure you need an SSDT for your card? spoofing the Device ID may be all you need.

oof! I was a bit tipsy when I got the 6950 installed last night. I started to add things to my KEXTs and PLIST... taking a step back and figure it out now. Where do I add the device id? I can boot but the HW acceleration is off completely. I'll find it, but if you can point a hungover happy soul in the right direction...

Some more parts arrived, but new motherboard and CPU are expected later this afternoon:
  • ID-Cooling IS-55 low-profile cooler in white
  • G.SKill Flare 5600MHz CL30 DDR5 in white (low/normal profile; 2 x 32GB = 64GB)
  • Seagate Exos 14TB HDDs (manufacturer recertified with 2 year warranty -- first time with this so let's see how well they behave)
  • 12.6" touch screen (not shown)

You put them in acpi folder and declare it in the config and it will work perfectly

Hey, it does work perfectly! I keep forgetting I need to reset my NVRAM whenever I make hardware upgrades. Thank you!

In Geekbench 5 using the Gigabyte AM5 board I have and EVGA 6900XT I get 76100 Open Cl and 183325 in Metal. On the Asus AM5 board and an XTXH 6950 spoofed I get 135248 Open Cl and 212381 Metal. That's a pretty significant difference, are you using Shaneee's kernel patch for graphics optimization?

** TrueNAS Build Update **​


All parts arrived last evening and have been dry-fitted for testing purposes. The Asus Z690-G with Intel i5-12600K is running perfectly. No hiccups of any kind. No issues with BIOS modifications or using iGPU.

First experimental installation of TrueNAS Scale went through without a single problem.

Aquantia AQC-113C is working quite nicely for 10GbE.
