New Ryzen 7 Video Transcoder

[zen304]

Hello Everyone. I am a long time reader / watcher, first time poster.

 

I have been a computer hobbyist for close to 25 years, but recently my key interest has become amateur / home network and server infrastructure. After waiting for benchmarks and collecting cash, I recently decided that it was time to upgrade my aging Media / File Server. Here is how it is going down.

 

My current server:

• CPU - AMD FX-8320 @ 4 GHz
• Memory - 32 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133 MHz
• SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB
• HDD: 4x HGST DeskStar NAS 4TB in RAID 10

Ill spare you the other specs, as they are irrelevant at this point.

 

My new server:

• CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 1800x
• Memory - 32 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666 MHz
• Mobo - Asus Prime x370-Pro
• GPU: AMD FirePro W2100
• SSD: Corsair Force MP 500 480 GB
• HDD: 6x HGST DeskStar NAS 6TB in RAID 0 + 4x HGST DeskStar NAS 4TB in RAID 10
• Case: Corsair Graphite 780T
• CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i v2
• PSU: Corsair AX860i

Here are most of the parts.

 

Most of the pictures I took during the build came out terrible, but here is an OK one of the system fully assembled.

 

I had to use zip ties to hold down the CPU block, as I am still waiting for Corsair's AM4 mounting bracket to arrive at my house.

 

Lastly, here it is in my mildly messy server closet.

 

Thanks for reading!

Those walls are just begging for some cable management.

I completely agree, but I have plans for this closet that are forcing me to wait on a re-cable. That LCD panel sitting directly below my ONT (right hand middle) is a controller for an exhaust vent that I need to properly install. I am also going to take the opportunity to sand, paint, and install a louvered door. After all that is done I will manage the hell out of those cables.

Niiice should be quite the closet when it's done! Does it get quite hot?

85F +- before I installed the exhaust. It hovers between 75 and 80 with the fans, should get lower once the louvered door is in.
