You guys are making this really hard. I could reduce TDP to 80-85 watts using PBO....

I could probably get away with 5700x3D.. but honestly the 5600x is doing just fine. This current ITX build may be moved to SIM Rig Duty and I will move back to a more normal sized mini-ITX or Micro-ATX case.

This thread escalated quickly :)

agreed 5700x3d is the perfect upgrade

repurpose or sell. it will fetch a decent amount of money

I will wait till HDR etc... is less of a mess on windows.

for Plex your much better off with a 35-45 watt CPU and get a cheap Intel arc card for transcoding. way more efficient

I just wish heat output was lower. Its still 105 watt part. My current 5L ITX build I don't think could handle the heat. Currently 5600X is doing just fine.

that was a smoking deal for the 6800!

code is no longer valid

typical Asus... but it's gonna get blown up due to it being gamer Nexus

kinda agree on tensor. granted I have had pretty good luck with my pixel 6. I don't game or do anything stressful with my phone. agree it's Samsung or OnePlus in the US at this point

Willing to move up to a 5900 OEM non X for a few more bucks?

has anyone gotten to test the new fluid frames and other new features yet? hopefully some of these get ported to the steam deck

you are worse than a girl trying to decide what outfit to wear 🤣

It might be even simpler to get a the cheapest small box you can and connect the printer to it and then share out the printer. 50-100$ fanless old box and run linux

this seems like what's going on. does your printer have an Ethernet port? if so just power line from the printer direct your router/switch

The one Nvidia wants you to forget

I think the only reason is size. the 8 and 8 pro will be much larger than the 8a. should be the same size as the 7a. otherwise just grab the 8.

my guess is with the market moving towards streaming style gaming, handheld makes sense for Microsoft as they behind Nintendo and Sony in hardware sales. Also with MS investing alot in AI will give them access to alot bare metal hardware that could be used for dedicated streaming sessions.

I would look at several nodes that are cheap SFF, run ProxMox, and Ceph for storage/local cluster (no NAS needed) and have fun.

Jumbo Frames in the Intel Drivers on the NICs/Windows?

Out of the box works well. Still using my 7 here.

solid choices IMO. This combo or the new Unifi+AP Gateway with a lite switch would be good as well with Cloud remote access

you could go the new ultra gateway plus a standard AP for similar cost. but the dream router should work great as well. bonus you would have remote access.

My OCD would get triggered so bad by that!

Make sure the backplane is screwed in correctly(if its miss aligned could cause the drive not to make good contact) Check power plugs on the backplane. I have the same problem on my backplane. 2 ports are dead... it drives me nuts but I just live with it. Also that 1660 seems overkill. You can...

I think I am drooling over the 74TB SSD and 72TB SSD storage.

You need to jump on the ZFS bandwagon. When that NAS dies no propriety BS. Any machine can import the pool :)

data hoarders will be using spinning rust for a long time. You just don't need that much speed for this kind of storage :) Current Storage Server:

New Pool with Segate EXOS 14 12TB refurb drives from ebay. went Raid 2z. I am impressed with the speed. via SMB using a single USB 3.0 drive I am to pull 230MB/s from my Windows VM with the drive passed directly to it coping the data to VM based FreeNas Core on the same host.

Agree. I only use it for live Sports and that's it and news or specials. I download through usenet+Sonarr and plex all my wifes shows. Wayyy more reliable

Should be okay if both cards have decent Linux drivers. If I had an extra slot I would test for you. Currently passing a P400 to an LX container vs a full VM without issues for plex encoding.

proxmox is pretty light IMO. not much worse in terms of overhead than esxi. it has really been the choice for a lot home labers for a while now

hum... I guess it can make sense but what about then end from the patch panel?

proxmox

meh I will just bonk my wife in real life 😆🫣😂

8K is a waste ATM. Look how long we have been on 4K and its really just starting to matter. Even 1080p at a nice bitrate is fine.

Anyone have any suggestions. Rack depth is a hard requirement. Already have a server where I will just throw in an SAS card with External Connections
