As far as I know, it is the same with JBOD.

Sure, NVMe and graphics card for instance.

Well, you forgot to say that the 5700XT has some driver problem, is making much more heat and noise... And that the 2070s is 10% faster than the 5700 and has 25% stronger 1% low result.
So I would say that the 5700XT has a really poor value overall and that the 2070s is the best choice between those 2.
@DrSkull20 I have a Zotac one and it is a pretty good choice while being also the cheapest 2070S (well, was the cheapest choice when I bought it)

Why not go with 16GB?

if you're only going for 8gb of ram, make sure it's a 2x4gb kit. as for speed, 3600 is the sweet spot for 3000 series ryzen, but 3200 will be ok as well.

Then I would not trust it anymore. You should at least have a backup of that HDD and backup it really often. Or just change it... Actually, 500gb SSD are really cheap right now so that might be your best bet.

why would you get an overpriced 2700 for a gaming pc? your build doesn't make sense. extremely overpriced ram with a far inferior cpu

Well, that is the whole point. If your monitor is like 1080p 60hz, you should not take a 2080S but you'd rather go with something less powerfull like 2060 (I guess, you should check the benchmarks @1080p).
2080s is a good choise for 4k gaming or, maybe, 1440p 144hz (That what I have with a 2070s and it is perfect, I don't think the 2080s would make that much of a difference)

Heyo, just wanted to let y'all know that I ordered the HM Aeron 2. I'll get it in 2 months...

Mac OS 7 ?? Do you talk about the stuff from the early 90' ?
Or do you mean Mac OS 10.7 ?

Is this from a laptop ? If so, I think that is the way it is meant to be.

Well, for some reason, it depends... One day it gets up to 75/80°C, the day after, it won't go higher than 65/70°C doing the same thing. I definitly don't understand that behaviour... But, that's the way mine is.

I also have a 3800X and it works perfectly fine. I really like it. But I don't know the 3700X unfortunatly.

So, here is what I found : 
The player is telling me :
 
"Video codec not supported"
"Audio codec not supported" (it is transcoding to H265 to H264 and DTS 6.1ch to 2.0 MP3 according to the logs attached.)
So it seams like the TV does not support DTS 6.1ch for some reason. (as I know for sure it supports H.265)
 
logs.zip

OK, I am going to try to find some logs about why it transcodes it to h264

I tried to and it's telling me it need to transcode audio (from 6.1 ch to 2.0ch) and video (H.265 to H.264)... I don't understand why it wants to transcode to H.264 while some movies in H.265 are playing without any transcoding...
 
 
Yes, I can, but I don't want to... It does not look good at all !

Oh it definitly does NOT supports hardware transcoding. I know that. That's why I thought about solution n°2 (buy a new NAS that does have HW transcoding)

OK thanks, I will look at those 2.

Well, for PLEX, it is actually not "the same thing". That was not true. Actually I can't managed to get PLEX workingat all for some reason...

Hello everyone,
 
First of all, I was not sure where to put this thread so, feel free to move it somewhere else if needing.
 
I am using a Synology NAS DS1819+ to store all of my movies (mostly 4k H.265). I installed an emby server in a docker container. Then I installed the Emby app on my TV.
I wanted to do such a "streaming" stuff for years, now it's finally done ! Well, almost... Sometimes, I play some movies that don't have the right codecs on them. So Emby is transcoding them before streaming them to the TV... And... well, my NAS is not powerfull enough to do this on the fly.
 
So, I am searching for the best option to be able to play all my movies without any problem like those. 
 
Here are the solution I thought about :
 - Transcoding the movies prior playing it... It takes times and, so far, I have not find any soft that can do it properly (or at least I don't konw how to do it correctly with any soft)
 - Buy a new NAS with hardware 4k transcoding. This could work unfortunatly, I don't know if I can trust Synology about their NAS being able to transcode this on the fly. And, it is kind of expensive... So if it does not work...
 - Buy a streamer such as an NVidia Shield... Unfortunatly, that mean that I will yet another stuff... And I bought my TV to get rid of everything else around it (BD player, computer etc...). So, that would be kind of a step back.
 
I like the idea of buying a new NAS... It would be very expensive (around 1k€) but it would also be a good way to backup all of my medias instead of only my personnal photos and videos. But, well, I don't really want to spend that much money for something if I dont REALLY need it.
 
Any idea on how I could this properly ?
 
nb : my TV is an LG 55OLEDC9.
I tryed to use PLEX but, same thing...
My NAS has only 4gb of ram and my emby docker container has 2gb but it seams not to use all of it.
 
Thanks !

Well, I live in France so... We don't have Microcenter. Anyways. A new NAS that does hardware transcode is pretty much 500€. So it is a bit more than a computer but also would be much more convinient to me.

As far as I know, the max mmh2o is at the max speed of the fan.
So let say that you have two fans :
 1) 60dB at full speed which is 2000RPM, that make a pressure of 1 mmh2o (fan n°1)
 2) 70dB at full speed which is 3000RPM, that make a pressure of 1.5 mmh2o (fan n°2)
So the second one makes more pressure.
 
But now, let's say that 70db is to much and you want your fan to make only 60dB so you have :
 
 1) 60dB at full speed which is 2000RPM, that make a pressure of 1 mmh2o (fan n°1)
 2) 60dB at 66% speed which is 2000RPM, that make a pressure of 0.8 mmh2o (fan n°2)
 
So fan n°1 is better @60dB than fan n°2 whereas fan n°2 is making more pressure @100%.
