Updated OP to include a step for trying VGA out if the motherboard provides it.

Interesting. You learn something new every day. I do think this might mean your gpu is a dud I hope I’m wrong. glad you got it running. Success with the rest of the build!

The forum provides according to your motherboard’s product page it also has an led debug feature called “q-led core” which should also give you some information. Check it out: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1042678 asus has their own troubleshooting page for no post scenario. It lists both the a led and the beep codes for a buzzer. You can find it here: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1042632 good luck. I hope you figure it out.

That little drive will not be an issue if you don’t go for the cheapest of cheap PSUs. Go for it.

Oh hey, I’m all for mandated PFC in manufactured goods. OP was worrying about their device. I said they should not worry about it and gave an explanation why for their specific scenario I wouldn’t do anything to change it. That’s the only thing I said here. If OP was a manufacturer asking whether or not they should be adding PFC to this 3D printer before putting it to market, that’s an entirely different story.

Try docker exec <container> /bin/ls /data Does it show the files you’re looking for ? If no, verify that you’re mounting in the correct path

It’s an accurate take. PF is monitored by the utilities because otherwise people would be douches and install large capacitor or coil banks to lower their power factor to near zero. If yours is too low the utility company will see to it that you know. OP is worrying about a single device with a bad power factor in their house. The device is relatively low power and does not run nearly 24/7. Overall impact will be really low. as long as the house PF stays within the limit set by the law… why worry?

According to intel your processor has a built in gpu. Try removing your dedicated gpu, and hooking up your monitor to the motherboard directly. if that doesn’t work I’d try to find a pc motherboard speaker like these: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pc+speaker+motherboard&crid=2HTPA74M57LU2&sprefix=pc+speaker+mot%2Caps%2C203&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_14 probably your cheapest option to debug. It’ll give you an error code you can reference the motherboard manual for. try booting with only the cpu, single stick of ram attached. No gpu, drives, etc. Reseat the cpu and install that cooler.

to nerd, its transcoding not encoding To really nerd: transcoding is encoding too. Decode and encode.

Should be able to post without cooler. It ain’t great but it should be possible. you say you ran over all steps in the doc but you also say the gpu works because the fans are spinning. Did you actually test it in another PC? further: in my experience, ram is often the culprit when there is not output. Do you have a second known good set to test with? have you tried a single stick in slot A1?

You’re good

Don’t worry about it. The only one caring about PFC are the utility companies as they lose out on money if your power factor is too low. Hence, you only have a problem if your avg power factor of the entire house drops below a certain number (e.g. 90) as the utility will add a surcharge. As said by others, power factor is NOT efficiency. Power factor describes the relation between voltage and current phases in an AC system. Efficiency is a measure of useful work that is done for every amount of energy consumed. Adding power factor correction to a circuit actually makes it ever so slightly less efficient as you’re essentially adding a big capacitor or inductor. While in theory that only changes the PF, in practice every electrical component has a certain amount of resistive losses.

Data criticality means it needs stringent backups. RAID is intended for uptime/availability assurance, not loss prevention. is there a reason the accounting dept has more stringent uptime requirements vs marketing? Both need to be able to work. More stringent backups for accounting, that I get though.

Came here to post about Synology. I have been beaten to the punch. Whatever you do. Don’t build it yourself. Get a solution from a reliable vendor. Although, this kinda sounds like an XY-problem. The marketing department needs a NAS? Why? What are there actual requirements? What made them come to the conclusion “we need a NAS”. Is that conclusion correct?

Thanks! I’m a stickler for SFF and water cooling, so I have no choice really. My previous one was a bitfenix prodigy so it was small but doable. This was at the edge of masochism. Had fun though

Man I can’t get myself to spend that much on a hobby but I’m happy you do and post about it. That said, I am in the process of acquiring a new homelab. Waiting for parts rn. The main boards arrived but the rest is still in transit. It’s all about low power clustering. 35 c/kWh. Ever watt counts. Those pictures of your burned down gaming rig are absolute horror. My condolences

Again: why? you say you need “meaningful” upgrades. They can only be “meaningful” if you’ve identified actual problems with the current set of systems. What is actually wrong with your current NAS? if you want more performance in your gaming rigs, why not start with the GPUs?

Well that’s some false advertisement from alphacool if I ever saw one. other than the Fitment, how are the thermals and noise under load? other notes: 1. How are you paying the power for this thing? From the Dutch in your screenshot I’m deducing your probably paying about 35+ cents per kWh. 2. That hardline gaming rig is absolutely one of the sexiest machines on the planet

I just had a look, The pictures are from November last year. There’s still a spot in my finger I can’t feel and pressing on the place I was cut gives me that tingling feeling you get when your leg wakes up after sitting too long good thing is the dull spot is on the outside in a place where you don’t really need sensation so my day-to-day is not affected at all. The sound itself healed up rather nice as well I can’t believe it’s been that long already though, wow. It’s freaking tight but it works. Biggest issue is that I had to use a DDC pump instead of a D5. It’s rather noisy and I don’t have the space to spring mount it securely. Overall performance is reasonable. I have it dialed in for silence so my temps are rather high, but the system is almost inaudible during regular operation.

When I saw the short circuit on this case, I knew I had to have it. I’m a stickler for water cooling so I did my best to jam a 3070Ti, a 5600X, a thick 80 rad, a 140 rad, and a slim 240 rad in there. All brown Noctua, as it should be. result came out ok but it did cost me literal blood and tears. The density of this machine is immense. It weighs so damn much for its size. this build was done in two steps, as the right tubing did not arrive and it was hard to source where I’m at. I built the whole machine with clear tubing at first. I did not take pictures of the initial build apparently. So here’s the rebuild with white tubing original build first taking it all Apart. The joys of SFF. Here you can see the slim 240 in the bottom, there’s slim fans underneath. It clears the gpu block juuuust right. added the cpu block again. Had to turn this one around as I apparently swapped inlet and outlet on the first go I cut my finger with Jerry’s knife from lttstore while cutting tubing. It sprayed blood over my entire kitchen and I needed stitches. Jerry’s knife is damn sharp. 0/10 would not recommend. Part of my finger still does not register touch , nicked a nerve. worth it though. She’s b-e-a-uuuutiful

Oh this seems to be actual reverse flow fans. Yeah that’s just not great performance wise.

I do agree it looks badass having counter-rotating fans in a row of similar fans.

Y’all are overthinking this. OP is not talking about reversing fan flow. They just want the blade to point and spin in the other direction. If you reverse both the blade sweep and the motor spin you still move air in the same direction as a conventional fan. to make it more clear: if you look at a fan from the exhaust side, almost all will turn clockwise and have their blades swept clockwise. OP wants a fan that spins counter clockwise and has its blades swept counter clockwise. OP, the reason is cost. Motors spin clockwise by convention. Procuring motors spinning counterclockwise has added cost. Similarly, keeping two SKUs is more expensive than one. edit: as I’ve posted this I was re-reading. There really should not be a cost difference as dc motors can be reversed by changing the polarity. Bldc motors too by changing the order of the coil activation. I still think there’ll be a cost difference as more skus==more expensive, both for motors and for blades, but it should be minimal. edit edit: I mixed up clockwise and counterclockwise above. Fixed. I should go to bed.

What do you mean by that? you say you need upgrades, but you don’t know what and you don’t know your budget. This makes no Sense. step 1 is always pinpointing the problem you’re trying to solve

Chances are Dell USA and Dell India are two separate legal entities and thus the warranty would only be claimable with Dell USA. However, I don’t have any form of hard evidence for this. You’ll have to dig up the Terms and Conditions for the purchase and read what it says in there.
