So my mobo has 4 sata ports and I am using them all.
I would like to add additional 4 ports and use them for a SW raid. Is something like this okay or would I be better looking at mini SAS...
I really appreciate all the input.
I think what I’ll do is grab a decent 2/4TB NVME and add that into my system. I’ll have a look at those Samsung and I’ve also seen the FireCuda ones recommended for writes, so I’ll see what I can get the cheapest.
I’ll keep my existing NVME as boot and then...
It’s recommended for both torrents and Usenet, especially if you’re racing. Which I’m not lol.
The biggest benefit I noticed was with Usenet, unpacking 70GB Remux is significantly faster using NVME. I do take your point though, probably best to move away from using the NVME for this purpose...
I’ve read that NVME drives can wear out with excessive writes.
My PC is used as a seedbox / media server. I probably move about 200TB a year. My use case is that I use the NVME as a temp folder for Usenet and Torrents then off load to HDDs for long term storage.
My 1TB NVME isn’t really big...
So after swapping the motherboard, stripping this mofo down to nothing. Swapping the power supply and now finally, swapping the CPU this thing is back alive.
I had to wait absolutely ages on the return process for the 13600K but upgraded to the 13900K for my troubles.
I have put the stock...
Oh I am RETURNING this devil spawn! Post office is open tomorrow and that’s where it’s going.
Wanted to ask. What do I do with the new CPU, is there a suggested procedure to check everything is okay with the new one?
Like… just CPU, RAM and no drives or should I just build it like normal...
Also………..
I tried populating A1&A2 slots and then B1&B2 slots and powering up and same thing. It’s just gotta be the CPU, no way all 4 brand new memory modules die at the same time.
My friend also reminded me that I was having issues transcoding in Plex with this CPU, it was just dreadful...
Thanks. I have seen those videos. I have done the screws until I get resistance, which is just finger tight if that makes sense? I don’t think that’s the issue but I really appreciate you thinking about this for me
Only just seen this. Tried it, same beeps.
Also you mentioned earlier about the 2 sticks of RAM, I had done that with no joy. So I swapped the ram out to the other 2 sticks and took a pic. I’ve also added on top an unsecured cooler with a blob of thermal paste lol fan is also plugged in...
It’s the same socket so even though they’re labelled 12th Gen they do work just fine.
The 1st one I had the CPU out and my wife holding back the bits that swing around so they wouldn’t contact the socket.
On the 2nd board I removed it as soon as unpacked, still had the black plastic insert in...
If so remove all the ram I still get the 4 beeps, I don’t think it’s that. I have tried but still get the same 4 beeps.
Oh well, I hope a new CPU fixes the issue
The one for the RGB you mean? Actually no, since testing I’ve only been connecting the 3pin fan lead from the AIO. I’ve left unplugged the SATA connector and the RGB header.
