Hey guys, I got recently a Dark Rock TF for my build(r7 1700x stock). The cooler with the top fan has about 5mm clearence to the case. Do I get better temps with the top fan on or should I go without for better airflow? (Mainboard was doa so I can't test it myself right now) Thanks for any replies.

@Smollie1 If you get instead of the A4 an A6 7400k or 6400k you could overclock and don't pay much more. And get 2 ram sticks for better grafics (sometimes really cheap to get used ram) I wouldn't recommend much older stuff or more TDP because you have limited cooling space. The custom cables are not really worth it imho (in a build like that) but of course you can try it. Or get first an old/broken psu so you can train
-
The Pentium+8GB Ram should do it but get another psu, I got the seasonic g-360 and it's great ( with a celeron g1840 and 8gb but don't have to transcode) Also go for WD Red drives (3y warranty), Barracuda drives got only 2 and are not for 24/7 workloads.

Go with rockstor http://rockstor.com/ You can try the demo on their website, it's easy ( unraid is better imho but not free) They have a quickstart guide and a good documentation. Perhaps get a small cheap ssd as boot drive (32gb should be enough), I don't know if it works with usb sticks.
-
Perhaps try openmediavault or Ubuntu (Server), nas4free could have a 32bit version but i'm not sure.
-
Try it with that old PC if it works, but for 24/7 get a new one for better Power consumption. The p4 draws ~100w without drives. 3x3tb drives for 6tb storage and an skylake Pentium/i3 (not sure about minecraft) should Do it.

ASRock C70M1 with 4gb RAM, cheap case and psu and you could get away with 100 bucks
-
Think about unraid or openmediavault. You don't need a RAID card when you go with a Software RAID, just a hba card. For hdds go with 3 or 4 TB wd Red or Seagate nas drives. If you want 6tb storage you need 3x3tb so you have one that could fail(RAID5) or RAID6 (2 can fail). If you go with unraid you can use your old hdds and get only a big one for parity.

Need Massive Help With Setting Up File Server
Aekim replied to SuperShermanTanker's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
As far as I know freenas doesn't support wifi If not try ubuntu or perhaps openmediavault if they support it at all -
no in the first sentence it's classified as OCR ( straight through = reverse breakout, OCR ), the second part is only a notice that there are two diffrent types of cables (OCR and OCF)

@brwainer http://www.inline-info.de/de/inline-detail/artikel/3594/ it was the wrong link i guess, that is the cable I got I paid only 10 bucks for the cable and thought I don't need a 30€ one

No the hdds are not that old ^^ The lights work and the sound too. Beside that I can't really test the backplane. Perhaps the cable is too long or broken? The sata Ports on the Motherboard work
-
@scottyseng I tried Sata 1-4 and 5-8 but amd boards should have all the same controller I guess (a88x). Tomorrow I'll try an intel board perhaps it work.
-
@scottyseng It is an Inline cable from amazon marketplace and the only silver one they got so it should be the right one. http://www.inline-info.de/de/inline-detail/artikel/3599/ the drives are all sata (2-8 years old) Do I need to set a jumper on the backplane? SGPIO Enable/Disable Connector is the only thing I don't understand what it is for but the drives work neither on or off.
