Hi everybody, I've recently bought an AMD RX 6800 to swap out my old GTX 1070 and had some trouble with some weird behaviour. Now this one, I'm honestly out of ideas on how to fix it short of reinstalling my OS which I want to avoid. Some context about my System: - I have 3 Monitors and an Oculus Rift S connected to that GPU. One Monitor is connected via HDMI, the others and the Rift are connected via DisplayPort. Only those 2 Monitors have issues. The Setup was the same with my GTX 1070 which never had any issues with this. - GPU Drivers of the old NVidia card where uninstalled using DDU in Save Mode - Cables are all good, Connectors on the GPU seem to be good aswell - I'm using Windows 10 - Drivers are up to date - The main screen uses FreeSync but seems to have the issue regardless of it being turned on or off So here is my problem: Whenever my PC turns off my Monitors to save energy, all the connected Monitors via Displayport seem to have issues turning off. HDMI never had any issues. There seem to be 3 different options on what happens when they turn off: 1. Both Monitors will go to sleep but keep waking up regulary (I'm talking about every minute) just to show "No Signal" and going back to sleep again in a loop. 2. One of the Monitors (always the same) will turn off properly, but the main screen will never turn off its backlight. It does show "No Signal" for a while but will never actually turn off (this btw also happens sometimes when I turn off the PC completly) 3. Both screens actually do turn off properly and will not wake up randomly. When I wake up the system though, all Apps running on the second screen will now be displayed on the main screen, all desktop icons from other Monitors (including the HDMI one) will be thrown on the main screen and all desktop backgrounds will be set to the same image even though I do have setup one for each indiviual screen. The way I've ordered these 3 Options is by their likelihood to occur when shutting down. So 1. does happen the most and 3. almost never happens. I've tried many solutions, none of which worked, googling it didn't yield any useful returns, also tried chatGPT, which told me it is impressed by my technical knowlegde but wasn't able to find any working solution either, which was fun Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this issue or ran into it? What I do not want to see: - NVidia shills who try to tell my AMD is all garbage

thanks for the answers guys it seems like freenas wont make it on the system then I'll take a look at openmedia vault and samba tho The reason i don't wanna get an old cheapo atx board with a cheapo cpu is, that there is no way those things could be as power efficient as a 6-10W cpu like that celeron. As this system will run 24/7 thats really something i'm concerned about since I already pay way to much for electricity. There are some 80-120W power supplies out there so I hope I can use one of those since RedWulf u are absolutly right, a 300W+ power supply wont really be good for this system. @Electronics Wizardy why you think my ssd wont help me? Using a simple flash drive would work too, but i'd to pay for that, even tho thats not really much at all but i'm really trying to find a use for that ssd... I'm gonna look for a raid controller like this, but ofc i've to find one which I can get from germany because of the shipping prices (I would have to pay another 22$ to ship that one to germany ) if you guys have some more controllers like this pls let me know =) finally about the case: my plan is to build this system into a shelf. My router is in that shelf too, so that would be a really short distance. I'm planning to build most of the parts on my own mainly just for the fun getting a drive cage could be an option tho, so maybe I'll get one and attach a 120mm cooler to it. Ofc a hotswap system would be the perfect solution, so maybe I'll find something like that, who knows, thats part of the fun

Hi LTT-Community, i've found something really intresting to build my future nas with. But first things first, I'm a student, and I don't really have much money to spent on this project, but I really need a nas-system I currently got 8 TB worth of hdd's in my gaming system (2x 3TB and 1x 2Tb) as well as 2 SSDs (120GB OCZ Vertex3 for the OS and a 240 GB Samsung 840 Evo). My problem is, those 8TB of storage are nearly full and I don't really wanna put another 3-8TB hdd in that system. I'm using that storage for typical nas stuff, so it would make sense to get a nas system, but I want a really power efficient one and I want to build my own one. I've found this here: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=838#specification As u can see, there is a passively cooled Intel Celeron J3160 Quad-Core on that board (http://ark.intel.com/products/91533/Intel-Celeron-Processor-J3160-2M-Cache-up-to-2_24-GHz?q=j3160) I have a G.Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz kit here which I currently don't need, so I could put that into this system. I've checked the memory support of the board but my memory isn't listed there, but i'm really optimistic it will work without any problems anyway. Ofc the ram will be downclocked to 1600 MHz but that should be fine. But as u can see, this board just has 2 Sata3 6Gb/s ports, which is not really nas like, but the board does have a full size PCIe 2.0 x16 slot. So I'm planing to get an old raid controller from ebay so I could plug in at least 6 drives into that controller. There is my first real problem, I dont really know much about raid controllers, so I would be really happy to get some tips on what controller to use for that. Because that system will be only hdds I don't really need the fastest speeds possible, but I want the system to support the full 1Gb/s network speed and maybe some more if possible. My next question: I've upgraded my Notebook (Acer Aspire V7 582PG) recently with a new mSata SSD and I got the old mSata SSD out of it. Its a 24 GB Kingston SMS151S3/24G drive. It looks like u cant get this drive anywhere so its really hard to find some specs for it. But I would be happy to use it for my OS on the nas system which would be freeNas and I think a 24 GB drive should be enough for that. I would use one of the boards Sata3 slots to connect the drive using a sata to msata adapter. But as I cant get any specs for this drive, I'm not sure if that would work because in my Notebook the ssd was used as a fast cache drive only, so I really wanna see if some of you could tell me if that drive can do what I want it to do Now to my last question: Do u guys think, that this system would have enough power to fully support my 1Gb/s network transfer speed? I really don't wanna get much below 100 MB/s read and write speeds, but I don't know if that system can handle this. As I'm planing to put more drives into the system in the future starting with a new 4 TB drive and my two existing 3 TB drives I want this system to be powerful enough for the job even when there are 16TB or more in it. And just to let u guys know, I'm not planing to buy a case for this system. I'll build my own one because it's really hard to get cases which support 5 or more 3.5" drives and be as small as I need it, so that will be the real fun part of the project If the system can do the job it would be a really cheap solution for a powerful nas. The main parts (without the drives) for me would cost less then 150$ or € or whatever And because the CPU has a TDP of 6W (!!!) it would be super efficient and quite cheap to run (I hope). I'm looking forward to your replies As you guys probably noticed I'm not a native english speaker, so I'm sorry for any mistake I'm from Germany.
