FAKE NEWS!!!!! Dude.... if you have no clue what you are talking about.. Elon is STILL CEO... however he is no longer the chairman of the tesla board... this is btw old news....

what is the day to day usage?... and why the RAID 0? If there is not real usage, then don't pay for it.. seems a big waste we need to know a bit more about the usage of these computers...

If you want to go with plex server here is my suggestion for one way of doing it... 1 Gbit will be enough for this setup... 34/1000 Mbit = 30 Mbit for each room. Normal 1080P movies are about 8-10Mbit! So alot of headroom already and no need to downscale to 720p. However don't go 4K! 1 NAS server with raid 5 or 6 to store all the video content. Install plex on a server etc ryzen 2700 cpu with 32/64gb ram that will load the files from the NAS. ( this server will just act as the plex server / transcoder if needed however! read this carefully below if the server is going to transcode!) If using plex make sure to have the content being played "directly" from plex so the server does not need to perform any transcoding as this is a demanding task for the CPU - This depends what TV supports (codecs, audio and so on) if the TV can't natively play the content the plex app will automatically ask the server to transcode the content to the TV so it can be played. However if you need to transcode then see below notes 1x 1080P transcoding stream takes about 2000points in cpu passmark - I have made that to 3000 just to be sure ! So 15 streams being transcoded at the same time x 3000 passmark score = 45.000 cpu passmark the above mentioned ryzen 2700 CPU gives about 15.000 cpu passmark points - which means you will require 3 of these plex servers all connected to the NAS (via a switch). split the 34 rooms up so they are connected equally to these 3 servers and if any issue occurs with buffering. Just add another "plex transcoding" server. The above method will 100% however it is a DIY solution compared to a PRO hotel TV setup.

that is not true...look into Xeon D CPU's! Now OP: Look into Xeon D CPU's. it's SOC cpu's. go from 4core -> 16cores/32threads cpu's. high cpu speeds, has Low TDP starting from 30-35tdp (if i remember correct), ECC memory, IPMI, 10gigabit lan and so on... Take a look at supermicro's website, they come in all form factors... from itx to standard size to special server size boards... and take a look at the xeron d-15XX series and the 21xx series.

Have you read the follow up on this?? People have found out the manual and other items contains "gaming" and so on... and this is for the "generic" box.. the issue is they have moved/transfered name but forgot to remove all the evidence in the manuals an such explaning it's a GAMING box an gaming focused.. ON A FUCKING GENERIC BOX.. that USED TO BE / IS the exact same as their "gaming brand" "aorus",, You dont see an issue here??

this has already been talked about.. that they are highly big chance that they are certain "agreements" in the GPP program that violate the law.. Did you see the wan show??

ye i know... but that's why i hope somebody have the balls to do it, and fight back...

Just a matter of time before they are removed i guess..

It means that brands like ASUS ROG - will now only be Nvidia based cards... where it before was a mix of AMD and NVIDIA... This means that a new BRAND will have to be build for AMD only... however it's very hard to build a brand, and it costs alot of money to do so... also consumers already know "ROG"... and now a new unkown brand that people are unaware selling AMD cards... people won't buy this because they trust the "ROG" brand... causing them to buy nvidia cards instead... where it might have been better option for them to get an AMD card instead... but they miss out of this... and now AMD looses a shit load of money due to this...

I hope someone will have the balls to fight nvidia on this... and in the end it will be of no value to be in GPP, resulting them to shut it down.. however realistically i don't think it's going to happen...

so... reddit post showing that Nvidia have it's first GPP victim with having "exclusive" brands Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/85n378/nvidia_gpps_first_victim/ * UPDATE * Pictures/Links of the AORUS brand vs "generic/amd" GPU BOX - Including AORUS brand moving to new twitter account. * UPDATE 2 * Looks like MSI have removed all their "gaming" from AMD graphics cards aswell.. only NVIDIA cards have the gaming brand now. You can check out msi website if needed. now i PERSONALLY don't care if there is an exclusive naming brands for AMD / Nvidia - it might even make it more easy to consumers to figure out what they want by etc. having brands like ROG A for Nvidia and ROG B for AMD... HOWEVER i do see a hugeissue with brands that is already established like ROG and others killing AMD this way due to nvidia's GPP. ROG is a known brand for their gaming and high performance, and extra attention to detail.. Now creating a similar ASUS brand but focused around AMD would be extremely hard for ASUS and this will in the end hurt AMD, resulting in them loosing money.. So next time a person will buy something their are familiar with ROG but maybe not the "amd" brand version... hence all future sales will go to nvidia...

So a post on Intel's reddit page - shows a MSI motherboard running Coffee Lake 8700K. Source: Another source: Upon further digging around it seems to be related to BIOS modding - being able to allow a 8000 Series to allow to run on Z270 Chipset... Now could all of this be INTEL doing some BS stuff, and just changed the power pin layout that previously have been talked about and diagrams that have been shown so 8000 Series is not compatibel with Z270? Just to make more $$$ from consumers? I don't know.. but i think it's cool to see that some people just did a bit of modding to the BIOS and got it working! Without any HARDWARE modding! What are your guys thoughts on this ??

OP if you don't mind asking... what are you going to do with 4x 1080 TI - Mining?

Make sure no dust is in the cpu fan, reapply new thermal paste as you did... and reseat CPU again... If likly it's the CPU that's not mounted properly.

Dude... he even points out in the OP the following "Definitely needs a new coat of paint" So stop being a jerk - You have no clue if it's his first time doing such a custom build... and you only learn by doing.... Sure things can be improved... things can ALWAYS be improved even for professional modders that have done this the past 10-15 years... You should instead encourage him and not kick him in the nuts...

As said before... Certain raid configurations requires/suggest 1GB of ram for each TB.... Now having 80TB is 80GB ram.... then allocating a 4-8-16gb ram for each VM depending on the OS/requirements on the VM... that can quickly consume the 128gb ram all together... 6 cores can be more than enough for VM's... all depends on how you allocate the cores/threads... It's true that most board's don't contain 8 sata ports however this can be handled by either a raid card or HBA card... plan is to have 8x10TB disks in NAS....

The D2100 series is an improve of the 15XX Series... the amazon link has a 1541 SoC cpu... so the prices will be the same... about 1000 USD maybe even a bit more... Already look into that

well there will properly be some VM's running aswell... and depending on the NAS build/raid setup... it is required/suggested to have 1gb ram for each 1TB data...

Hey everyone... I'm looking to get a CPU or SoC cpu/board for a NAS build. It needs to have 6/8 core... 45w TDP (or lower), support for 128gb ram... and should be be able to be in a mITX board... Now i have found a intel SoC CPU on a board with IPMI which is nice.. however i think it's a bit expensive and would like to go a bit cheaper route if possible... this model is 900-100USD... it also has dual 10GBIT which i don't need! https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-MBD-X10SDV-TLN4F-B-X10SDV-TLN4F-Mini-ITX-Motherboard/dp/B00Z8DBB0M Any suggestions?

Cool thanks! - I will try it out.. together with parsec and see what's the best solution

this was exactly the thing i was talking about! thank you!

So there is a rumor going around that intel is bringing coffe lake laptop chips with 6core/12threads.. Source: www.chiphell.com/thread-1817327-1-2.html Now this would be awesome to have even more cores in laptops! It's nice that we finally got 4core back in general consumer laptops/notebooks due to AMD, and if this would continue it would even be more interesting as it will only benefit us, the consumers.. Now this also brings pressure on AMD with their mobile chips and if this ends up being true i hope AMD will answer this move and do something similar. What do you guys think?

Hey LTT, Linus has in the past 1-2 month mentioned an application similar to steam's in-home streaming, he mentioned it very briefly in a video that i ofcourse can't find and i can't remember the application name... the thing is, that i want to do in-home streaming but to an external computer that's outside the network. Anyone has any suggestions ?

i would suggest a ryzen based system like 1700(8c/16t) with 64gb ram.... lots of cores and a nice amount of ram unless you have some very specific requirements for hardware..

If you are using plex inside your house and your server is also located in the house on the same network.. then enable DLNA inside plex and use DNLA file browsing on your TV... should support it if this is a 4K smart tv... this also enable for plex to play HDR content.. as transcoding/directplay does not work with HDR content... as far as i know... only DLNA is working as far as i know this is only be done one 4K content since it will just read the file on the network not and use plex to do any transcoding.. please know your TV have to support the files you wanna play
