Linus, i have a gigabyte h370n wifi, and an 8500 with a gtx 660 running as my server, but im running windows. Right now its being used for 7 days to die but was wondering if there were any other ways of configuring this to get better connection speed or making into a better server. I have a 4tb ironwolf nas hard drive and a 256gb m.2 in it for storage along with a 2tb portable hard drive, idk how to configure the system to store evertyhing on the portable as a backup, can you help?

Idtake that gpu out, its just wasting power unless something is using it.

If gpu is doing nothing bin it. Extra power draw for 0 gains
