    What do you want to do on it? that might give us some scope for trying to help. Eg running dockers. I personally am using an Rpi 2GB with armbian and OMV.... It runs really well, I am using a 5TB USB 3.0 drive for storage, and running the OS on microSD (OMV has some settings for not blasting the flash cards and killing them). Have got plex and a few NZB dockers running on there, and trying others on there too... I'm impressed with how well everything runs on there. I am waiting for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to come back in stock, or newer model if stock continues to be a problem for longer than I hope. Here's my dashboard of OMV, it's idle at the moment as I am not actively using plex or anything, but the dockers are still running and ready. I'm using just over half of the memory, and using dockers for what I need is a great way of keeping that memory usage down.

    I don't agree with what the woman did, but that's ridiculous to charge her with hacking. By their logic, if a store is displaying an item with the wrong price on it, they should be charged with fraud.

    2 ways you can fix this. move the pc near to an ethernet port, and download the drivers for wifi.... don't forget to download other drivers you may need at the same time from the motherboard manufacturer's website. Download the drivers for the pc onto a usb drive and install the drivers... don't forget to download other drivers you may need at the same time from the motherboard manufacturer's website.

    IDK if it's just because I'm an introvert who s…

    yep, makes sense, been saying most of those for a looong time. I will say though that I did used to go to the beach a lot when I was younger, probably more so because of the fact I live like 1 mile from the beach though I really don't like just lying there at the beach though, never have... but love swimming, playing games and other actual activities though. I haven't been to the beach, other than to walk the dogs, for about 20 years now.

    For remote desktop into my linux mint, I have been using windows remote desktop on the client side, and sudo apt install xrdp xorgxrdp -y echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS cinnamon-session>~/.xsession on the server side. It's not brilliant, can be a little glitchy occasionally. But I use SSH for most important stuff, I have to make myself cheat sheets of cli mostly as my disability makes it hard to remember stuff. Hope that helps.

    go into uefi/bios and have a look at the fan curve and what they're assigned to.

    Ahh shit, just realized that I made a big mistake on OMV... I moved some disks over from a freenas build, but then wiped them as I thought I HAD to, then after enabling zfs and going into the disk options saw that I could have imported the array 😞

     

    That;ll teach me to look before assuming something I guess next time. Now I have to copy all the data over again.

    Should rename to Notflix I seriously don't get how some companies think they are the god's testicles, and can do whatever they want and still retain customers. To me the customer would always come first, seeing as they are the ones parting with their cash for whatever your company is offering. They should instead look at how much managers are making that are driving the train off the tracks.. salaries should be commensurate with how well the company is doing. Not pay the managers big bucks and then go "oh no, we;re not making enough money, let's put the prices up again so that next year the CEO can pay for his mistress to have that new house in the Cayman islands, so she can dive into all the gold like scrooge mcduck"

    Do you have a NAS, or an accessible share on your pc will do... then use a file manager like fx/fe file explorer to copy to that share,

    Go to the onboard settings, then there's a button that says [restore defaults]

    reset CMOS. must have been a pre-owned board I guess. Turn off PSU, press and hold start button to discharge capacitors. Open up PC and remove the BIOS battery, wait 10 seconds and then re-insert, and turn pc on....this resets the CMOS and should enter BIOS setup when you reboot. Make sure you don't re-enable fast boot in the settings or it will happen again.
  12. paddy-stone
    Here, download BIOS https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550-A-PRO/support
  13. paddy-stone
    Use the flash bios button on the rear IO, don't need to put old CPU back!
  14. paddy-stone
    Ahh OK, so you had a new board sitting around for 3 years. I can't understand why anyone would do that, but each to their own.
  15. paddy-stone
    What did you have in that board previously then? can't you swap that CPU back in and update the BIOS?
  16. paddy-stone
    Yeah, that's bad.. I totally agree with you there. A tech company should know better than to suggest dual channel is the same. Well, I wish you luck with it. I really hope you get what you should, which is a replacement/refund if they can't repair... it's not your fault that they aren't playing nice with customs. Please update this as and when something shifts, I don't like a story not having an ending... and hopefully a happy one in this case.

    I'd have a good look/ask around about buyer protection/fit for purpose etc laws as it stands for goods for consumers... I've no idea what that would be as I am from the UK and we have a few things that we could do when it comes to the sale of goods. Small claims court might be good, but you could be looking at a substantial wait possibly to get there I'm guessing. Do you have some kind of citizens/consumer advice bureau? that might be a good place to start if GIgabyte are still giving you the run around.
  18. paddy-stone
    How long have you had the card? Where did you buy it from? You might be able to do a chargeback at the bank from wherever you bought it from as the vendor is basically not cooperating with a repair/refund by not filling in paperwork. Or try to push a complaint with head office of Gigabyte saying you can't get a card returned for repair, then they should refund you then.

    Hmm, that is strange indeed. I've never encountered that before, changing port and/or trying different cables has always fixed it on any of my pcs. Seems like it might be software related then or possibly bios/firmware... I think it might be time to contact nvidia.
  20. paddy-stone
    You tried a different cable too?
  21. paddy-stone
    Try a different DP cable and/or port on the GPU.

    I installed win 11 the other day on my main PC, man the install is fast nowadays, pretty sure it was only like 5-10 mins. 

     

    Also, noticed how little software I actually need on that pc now. I have most stuff I NEED on my always on windows [server], that's low enough power for this purpose, plus fast enough when I need it to be. I mostly don't even need to turn on my main pc at all, last time before the recent win 11 install was like 3 months ago 🤣  I just use the browser and all common daily tasks on the win [server] build. Only when I need a fast recode of video and other stuff that uses a lot of cpu-gpu power, do I turn on my main pc.

     

    I am still in the testing phase, but I will offload a LOT of the processes from my win[server] to my OMV build, that's at the moment only running on my old HP microserver gen 8 with a dual core celeron... I tell you what though, that thing can still handle a lot of stuff. I have an old SSD in there even, hooked up through USB 3.0 as the boot drive, it's a Samsung 830 64GB that's not evry fast by today's SSD standards, only barely better than a HDD for read/write speeds, but still better for IO speeds by far. Have a few dockers running, gluetun for VPN, sabnzb, sonarr, radarr, readarr, jellyfin, plex, and a few others... will be adding more too probably. And yet even with all that lot running the CPU load was still 0.0% and RAm usage like 22% of the 8GB installed - for most of the time... and all the storage was for testing purposes run off 1x 6TB USB 3.1 drive, which is SMR as well. But transfers were still maxing out the Gigabit connection most of the time.

     

    I will probably set up this config on different hardware once the testing phase has gone to my satisfaction. But learned a fair bit about docker during it even thus far, had to sort out a few things that weren't able to find on video guides... made me get to know what I was doing more that copy paste into a TEXT FILE and then change values to get it ready for pasting into putty SSH into OMV/docker.

    OK weird thing here... it's not a PROBLEM as such, just can't wrap my head around how it happened. OK, so I got all my nzb, jellyfin etc stuff set up in OMV. After checking that things were working fine with folders and permissions etc, have started copying over my configs from my other server. And now the weird part, I was then checking things with sabnzb, got the configs side by side ready to copy the relevant info... and it's already there, my server info including username and password is already filled out... and can't work out how it did it. I'm pretty positive I didn't already do it, as I was still messing with getting gluetun to work with sabnzb to route my traffic through etc. Anyway, just thought I'd share this weird ghost in the machine experience

    Have been running Jellyfin now for a couple years approx. I love it most of the time, I can run many instances at the same time when I have to. I like that I can transcode with my GPU when needed without paying for premium service, also anyone that's got an account and is on my home network can download stuff directly to their devices from Jellyfin... it's a small thing I know, cos they can connect to my server and do that anyway, but it's sometimes easier when they can use a GUI and view info like synopsis and such. Sometimes it can be a pain, it doesn't refresh when it should to show new media, but that could be down to the device viewing it, I usually pre-empt it by force closing, and re-opening Jellyfin whenever I go onto it... and then it's fine.

    No, the ironwolf drives are definitely CMR
