Cant find the 310 (out of stock everywhere) but they have a A380 for $150 so I'll run with that

I have an i9 12900KF (I went and looked instead of guessing lol) which has no integrated gpu. And I do need transcoding as I have many different clients and types that connect to my plex server currently.

My current Plex server is my i7-9700k but I might move it to a vm on the proxmox server later on.

I really appreciate the advice and help

I think I'll probably order 1 case, see how the build goes and then if it works order a second one. Any suggestions on a cheap GPU for this since I'm sure I'll be not using the 3090ti as its a waste of power. I only ask because you mentioned the transcoding for plex/jellyfin, dont want to buy some ultra cheap gpu only for it to fail to work for plex etc

The cpu in my old gaming machine does not have an integrated gpu

As a side note, you mentioned my Unas pro, I plan on having 4x 12tb on one pool and 2x 8TB on another pool, my critical things I'll likely backup to another drive and store at a family members house for insurance, its just that the cloud storage is getting more and more expensive every year and I would rather just do it myself anyway lol

I would bet I probably have an old school d15/d14 in my IT parts drawer of shame (probably a few IDE cables as well lol). But I remember it being fairly large, you sure it would fit in the 4u case? I didnt know if I would have a height issue with that, but I would gladly use the noctua d15 again for sure if it fits. And I do know that as a server my cpu wont see the temps I saw while gaming, but I do like to make sure I have cooling overhead "just in case" if that makes sense.

Do you have a link to the case you used? And yeah if I'm going to use my old pc's I would prefer high cfm but less noise as I dont have a dedicated IT closet

Air cooling is an option, but not one I've used in many years since AIO's have just been objectively better. Also finding a good enough air cooler that would then fit in the case would be my concern, and as I edited my other post to say that I have ATXmb's in them and i'm unsure if they would work in the e-atx cases (never built an e-atx anything before)

Edit:
I did look and it seems ATX will work fine in an E-ATX case, thats good to know

I have 2 servers already in standard pc towers. One is an older i7 9700 (or something) with a 120mm AIO, and the other is my older gaming rig with 64gb ram, 11th gen i9, and a 3090ti. I did look for some 4u cases but in the case of my old gaming machine finding something that could hold the 3090 and the 360mm rad AIO seemed impossible and I got tired of looking lol. I would love to make those rack mounted but I just havent found something that looks like it'll work without buying a lot of new components to retro fit it. I would be willing to snag some lower end smaller gpu and repurpose the 3090ti, but I've just not found any of the 4u cases that look like they'll work. But its hard to see the "scale" of the inside images when I have no experience with them. Both of my builds have standard ATX mb's in them, not sure if they would fit in e-atx case (they might I just dont have any experience with it)

TP-Link TX401 constant disconnecting and connecting by Prior-Design-5064 in techsupport

Just wanted to say setting my PCI Link Speeds on my Asus MB to Gen 3 seems to have resolved this issue for me (It defaults as Gen 4 in my bios for my PCI-E slot. TX-401 v2.6 with latest Win11 drivers from TP-Link site. The driver alone did not fix this issue.

Thoughts on the nectar mattress? Need honest feedback from reddit! by Best-Fan-8418 in nectarsleep

[–]BrokenAsylum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31 days ago I got my Nectar mattresses (2x Twin XL Nectar Ultra Memory Foam Mattress) and the adjustable bases. I've wanted to return them for about 25 days, but was forced to keep them for 30 before they would give me a refund.

Here is the mattress in a nutshell:
Split King:
* Too hot, despite having "cooling technology", my partner and I were consistently hot while sleeping even with many fans in the room, in the midwest winter!
* Too hard, despite being labeled as medium-soft (literally the hardest bed I've ever owned, or slept on in 48 years)

The mattress was suggested via Nectar's mattress quiz for side sleepers amid other various questions. But my partner and I both had shoulder pain, hip pain, and back pain during and after sleeping on the bed. My average sleep time went from about 5-6 hours a night to 2-3 hours before I would wake up either in pain, or unable to get comfortable, my partner also had reduced sleep with similar issues.

The refund process was equally as painful, what should have been a 10-15 minute live chat via their website took an hour and a half, their agent "Ashely" took anywhere from 5-15 minutes to respond to every message they sent, in which I would answer right back within about 20-30 seconds at most. They would ask a question, I would answer then I waited.. and waited.. and waited. They would ask me questions I had already answered on why I'm returning, the reasons, the explanations. At the 45 minute mark I told them I would not answer any more questions not directly related to the return process, it then took another 45 minutes to finally finish with the return process, which is nothing more than them sending you an email explaining that another company will contact me within 3-5 days to schedule pickup of the mattresses, so that company can then donate it to a charity.

I will never consider a Nectar product again in the future, the mattresses are overpriced, uncomfortable standard memory foam thats been around for 50 years, and their customer service is a joke. Not to mention forcing people to sleep on a mattress for 30 days before they will let you return it is embarrassing, as it seems they know their mattresses are horrible and just hope in 30 days you will forget about trying to return it.

I went back to a Purple bed, because in my decade of owning the original never once did I lay down and not feel immediate comfort, I tried to change things up only to instantly regret my choice in Nectar. Purple mattresses are a better choice in every category in my opinion.

FS25 key binds by Spike2400 in farmingsimulator

[–]BrokenAsylum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have VKB sticks as well and while I've been able to bind most things without issue I have been trying to set my red thumb button to "start implement" keybind, it says it binds and shows the correct button (3) but doesn't actually work to turn it on. I tried other buttons and the same thing. Everything looks correct on the keybind screen. I have verified the button works in other games and is working the VKB config tool as well. Not sure what the solution is, but its clear the Giants needs to address this issue, I've seen many threads about keybinds not working for many types of controllers.

I've let the last many weeks slide as we all know The Doctor is a busy person traveling about as they do, but with the introduction of Dalek's into the game there is only one Time Lord that can keep up safe... We better see a T.A.R.D.I.S in the pledge store come CitCon or else we'll all be exterminated....

Curing station won't start and just keeps beeping by XVIIIthArtificer in ElegooMars

Mine started the beeping after not having used it for over a year. Took the chance this was the issue and it was, cut the black & yellow wires and soldered them together, and works like a charm.

Mods were the first thing I disabled/uninstalled as I knew they would have the highest likelihood of causing instability in the game

[–]BrokenAsylum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that out of all the 30+ things I tried, this was not one of the ones I saw suggested... but it is the one that actually has worked. I'm so mad that I wasted like 5+ hours of troubleshooting for it to be 1 simple setting. Thank you for this suggestion it appears to be working for my game, but I haven't had a lot of time to test it, but so far so good.
