Tbh on worst case scenario I might use 2/3 transcodes at the same time. One for me and one for wife on her tablet. If my kids watch a cartoon at the same time it might be 3 transcodes. I just mentioned the devices I currently have.

I do have lifetime Plex pass. Yes an i3 is what I was thinking. As for transcodes Ideally videos will be stored at 1080p, and I have like these devices at home. 2 tablets 2 PC's 3 TV's and 4 cell phones so making the sum it's 11 devices. I would at least have between 8 to 12 transcodes, since not all devices would be working at the same time. Later down the line I might do 1440p transcoding. Will the i3 work for that?

OK I am new at building my own NAS, basically, so far what I have is a 4TB (2x2TB) Synology DS218 and I am planning on Building something far Solid and with more capacity, as for Plex it cant handle more than 720p encoding, and I find it "slow", and If I want to stream like 2K video or 4k even I will need more capacity. So... My plan. Build a FreeNAS or Unraid Server. The Usage. Plex Encoding, Storage of my premiere videos, storage of a few folders and maaaaybe Windows ISO's so I can do some windows Installs over the network. My Issues (Besides never had one built): 1 - The Ideal Specs - I read Intel processor can encode video and basically not needing a GPU. Sooo... should I go with an E Series Processor and it's fine, or Should I go with something like an i3? - If Igo the AMD Route will a 1550 or even a 1050 do the job? 2 - How Much RAM would I need, and the maximum frequency of it. Does Latency matter in a NAS environment? 3 - Planning on using an ITX Motherboard (for now). Should I forget about it or is it good for the moment? ANY advice is welcome.

Yes, it is. I want to make it as "portable" as possible, while allowing it to be watercooled. I plan on doing a full EKWB quantum build with their new rectanguçar/square pump+reservoir combo units in the future. Meanwhile I am going with the h100i AIO I currently own.

Hello, I have been searching for a Mini ITX case that can accomodate a 240mm rad, and maybe also one of those new flat reservoirs from ekwb (preferrably also a 240mm one, if not, a 120mm one will do). I already looked these cases Raijintek Ophion Evo, Raijintek Ophion M Evo, Corsair crystal 280x, Phanteks Evolv Shift / Shift Air (this one cant accomodate most of the gear i want, without modifications to the chassis), Silverstone LD03/LD03B. I am planning on using an Asus rog strix Z390-i Motherboard, and a MSI 1660ti Gaming X, and later on upgrading to a 2080/2080ti with custom watercooling. I find the raijintek Ophion M Evo to be my best option, but suggestions are always welcome. Thanks in advance for any help/feedback provided.

What is the software u used to draw the motherboard plate???

Speaking of RX 5700 nad 5700 XT. have any leaks of any AIB Partner model shown up on the Internet? I am extremely curious on the design of those...

One thing I find hard to understand is the 4 direct CPU lanes. Can I use an SSD and a GPU direct to it at the same time, or if I use one I lose the ability to use the other?

Ye I Know, and it works, but I really wanna do something different. Thanks anyway, much appreciated.

Hello, I also want to make a build with this case. Have you guys figured out how to put everything inside it? If you did please send pictures/videos.

Hello guys I am trying to figure out wich parts from EKWB (or maybe some other brand) should I use to make possible to watercool a system inside the following case. http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-Shift.html The Idea is carry that mini ITX case between places because I think it's bigger sister is too much. So I was thinking on using these parts: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-velocity-d-rgb-nickel-acetal 1x or 2x (to cool GPU maybe if it is possible) https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-se-120-slim-single-5000 I won't make the GPU part of the loop just yet, because I am waiting until July to change it if something good comes up. The issue is. I dont know wich pump/res combo I should use that fits in there, that is compatible with those mentioned above parts. Now, one thing I know it's possible is using this Reservoir combo unit from phanteks http://www.phanteks.com/PH-R160.html The problem with this is that it comes with a ddc pump, and I wanted to use a D5 (Read that DDC overheat a lot) If there are any EKWB compatible this is an option for me. And before anyone tells me this is impossible please watch this: There is also: http://www.barrowint.com/index.php/article/1099.html but With this one I need to run a pump separate from it. And last (this would be the best option if it Fits) I was trying to figure if I could run one of these: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-rgb-pwm-incl-sl-pump changing the tube with a shorter one https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-res-x3-tube-110-64mm Please help me figure this out, I would appreciate all help that I can have.

Ooh, well to solve that resolution issue u have WSGF. http://www.wsgf.org/ I think I will buy a GSync widescreen from ASUS tbh.

Hello, I need some advice on a G-Sync, ultrawide monitor and wich resolution sould I go for. So, shall I go for 3440x1440 or 2560x1080? I ask this because 3440x1440 might be a bit more expensive than 2560x1080 in everything, both the Horsepower (GPU), and the actual monitor. I need advice on good monitors for both resolutions.

Not actually, but I want to hear people's thoughts about price/performance rating. after reading some comments I will make my shopping.

thank you
