Hi, I appreciate this post is a bit old now, but I just read a blog post and apparently the new Fibrenest ONT now supports Bridge Mode. I'll post the link to the Blog post below. https://mevans.tech/posts/fibrenest_experiences/

Thanks! As it turns out, it seems to be an HDMI/HDCP issue. I get absolutely no video during POST (which means I can't enter the BIOS!) Screen eventually springs to life during Windows Boot. I've done all the usual BIOS/Driver updates. I have a Display Port to HDMI cable arriving imminently, will see if that manages to sort things.

Bit of an odd one, my Plex Server was offline this morning (was fine last night), so turned on the TV it's attached to. No output to the TV at all, figured it was the usual HDMI Handshake problem so gave the system a cold boot which usually sorts it. Now I get the Q-Code 9E. Manual says this is reserved for later use (which doesn't help me at all.) Has anyone else come across this problem or code? The only this that might possibly have changed are Windows Updates. Samsung 4k TV ROG STRIX B550-E Palit RTX 3060 Ryzen 5 3600 16GB Corsair DDR4 3600

I have the GD08, great case.

Cool, thanks guys. I have over 600 DVDs/BluRays not including the TV Box Sets, but think I’ll sacrifice speed for quality where the Visuals/Audio warrant it (Star Wars, Marvel etc). Well given that I already have an R5 3600 I’ll upgrade the GPU to an nVidia card next year once silly season ends and availability improves. I can always upgrade the CPU further down the road if need be. I have plenty of space in the GD08 case for 3 more 3.5” drives if need be, though to be honest, swapping the mechanicals out for SSDs is kind of appealing for a number of reasons. Cost is crazy though (6 x 4TB WD Red drives for a shade under £3,000)

Because it needs to transcode to multiple TVs around the house and elsewhere simultaneously. Plus I do play the occasional game when I have time. 5-10GB is doable, I’ll just need to replace each 4TB 3.5” drive with 3 x 4TB 2.5” SSDs and a RAID controller

Here’s a Hardware Upgrade question. What is more important, CPU or GPU when it comes to backing up DVDs and BluRays to disk? desired output x265 1080p mp4 with full 7.1 or 5.1 soundtrack where applicable. (Will go down to 720p for some titles) Current Hardware 16GB 3600 CL18 DDR4 B550 R5 3600 RX 5500XT 8G OC This is not really a gaming rig, 90% use case is an HTPC (Plex/Kodi) I will be getting a 5000 series CPU, my question is should I go R7 or R9 with a RX 6000 or RTX 3000? Speed is more important to me than overall size though I’d like to keep the files as small as possible. (Sub 3GB each?)

For a brand, BeQuiet or Corsair for me personally but a lot will depend on availability. For everything else, Steve @ GN has some sage advice.

Day 6/7 It done and finished! It's so quiet! It booted first time (which was a relief ) The white streaks in the last pic is just the Sun coming through the Windows. Handy coincidence, the q-code LED is visible through the Top Vent.

Actually, the B550-E board has 2 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, so I could in theory move the GPU over one?

Hmmm, hadn't considered that, there is also a decent vent centre-rear of the lid of the case and with all the air from the bottom front intakes as well... Plus all of the fans are PWM. I'll keep an eye on the thermals though, thanks for the feedback, will definitely consider it if I need to!

Day 5 - Progress but a little disappointment! So, the Be Quiet PSU I wanted is now not available until October, so have switched to a Corsair for the time being. Can always switch it out later. Have installed the GPU though!

Day 4 - Super Happy with the cool Air Cooler!
