Your board isn't compatible with 12V Only PSUs.
 
You need 5V and 3.3V as well.

Normally you would need to upgrade to linux-firmware-git, however the missing firmware file has not been pushed to upstream. A search tells me that Intel's Own Clear Linux Distribution is using "iwlwifi-cc-a0-59.ucode" instead. I am not sure what Kernel Clear Linux is on or if they have backported this change, however you may need to upgrade to a more Recent Kernel. Current Stable is 5.10

Yeah, on Arch my linux-firmware package has iwlwifi-cc-a0-59.ucode (among other iwlwifi firmware binaries). 
 
MX Linux might just have too old of firmware, you'll want to clone the linux-firmware git repo and copy the files to their respective places in /usr/lib/firmware. 

I actually work for one of the above named companies. The issue is that open reach look after all the infrastructure other than virgin. So no matter who you go with, it's the same speed as its the exact same lines. Just the bill is a different name. 
 
The only alternative to that is FTTP broadband that only really BT and Zen provide, but that's still pretty rare in the UK. Its more rural areas or brand new builds that are getting it. 
 
If you want to DM me the full address, I'll check my work systems and see what is available for you so I can give you a definitive answer? 

Can't wait to get a free rtx 3090 🤣

Man some people are in to garbage, no need to judge. In fact I'm pretty sure anyone who does this is a piece of garbage themselves 😂

Can't wait to get a free rtx 3090 🤣

If you want hardware raid on a budget, the LSI 9260-8i is about the best value. Make sure you get a battery as well to enable the cache as well as provide some protection against inflight data and raid configuration. 
 
"Breakout cables" are for SAS > SATA or SATA > SAS.

Well thats probably your issue right there. 
Either upgrade the system to something from this decade, or get a proper gigabit nic that will utilise the pcie bandwidth instead of hammering your USB controller which is hosted on the south bridge on those old platforms. You want a system with integrated controllers, so basically Intel Sandy, or AMD Fusion generation CPU's, basically 2011 or later. 

Lol no idea but all i know is fortnite is dead and long gone

No need to bridge, just give both the nas a pc a ip in the same subnet.
 
Just change the ip in control panel under network adapter properties.

Ah so it's not like my usb ports are messed up
 

Jus got squished a little and is poking out. It's not harmful.

Yeah, it's just padding like they do on most IO shields now for motherboards.

I'm going to be the one too say, please, please just learn how to actually use the CLI why does your server even have a gui?? CLI is so much more flexible

Scrape off the copper-layer? What are you talking about? The copper-layer is an inherent part of the damn CPU, you can't go scraping it off.

I'm not an expert at delidding, never bothered with it myself, but the core looks fine to me. The bare copper on the side is kinda worrisome, though. It most likely is just the ground-plane and I doubt there's any traces running so far, close to the edge on the top-layer, so it is probably still fine. Might not be a good idea to have the IHS touching that part directly, though, so maybe cover it with a layer of clear nail-polish or something similar.

well i mean clean it up and try it, if your house is on fire then there is an issue 

That top fan tho

Dust in the sensor?

No problem happy doxing!

Well i'm happy to have people to dox 

Well you do suggest it...😅

I wrote one of my first successful c# scripts inside unity using the official documentation to figure stuff out, therefore did i write it and should i feel acomplished?

Weird
