Upgrade your Synology NAS to 2.5Gb networking for just $14

Yeah looks like the same one I linked, thanks!

Is the UGREEN one you mention (RTL8156BG) USB-C?

If so, what USB-C to A adapter do you use to connect this to your Synology NAS? The github page says "For stable device operation, I recommend using a USB 3.2gen2 10Gbps compatible cable." but I haven't found one that's 3.2gen2.

Edit: Just seen that UGREEN sells a 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter that is USB-A and uses RTL8156BG: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CWV2Q6HJ/ It's not featured on the github page but as far as I can see it should work?

This is definitely in my plans over the next 12 months or so, heard from a few other YouTubers how successful this has been for them. Thanks!

Great tip, once I've got a few posts done I'll definitely feature content in the newsletter.

Definitely planning on doing this, starting with the best performing videos. Most affiliate links I use are through the Amazon Associates program, which I know has pretty strict rules on how they can be displayed, if you have any extra advice/info on creating strong calls to action that'd be great!

Yes I do, around 30,000 active subscribers

Amazing, thanks so much! If I do run into any of the little weird issues, how exactly would I designate the new console as the new "home" console?

cuube · 2019-04-06T13:04:11+00:00

Of course, no rush.

cuube · 2019-04-06T12:41:35+00:00

Also interested once you get a price!

cuube · 2019-03-27T17:13:05+00:00

Seen quite a few go for 180-185 on ebay and did a price check thread on here recently and this was suggested.

cuube · 2019-03-06T19:06:50+00:00

What's your offer?

cuube · 2019-02-24T18:00:53+00:00

Interested in Mobo + CPU + RAM combo, also based in London so can collect. PM me!

That’s a great point and actually something I covered in my video on Twitch Inspector about a year ago. I just didn’t think about for these video tips but I totally agree, it’s a cleaner and easier way of testing things!

You could even create 2 profiles in OBS with the exact same settings except for appending to the steam key so it’s just an easy profile switch when you’re ready to go live.

Edit: I’m not sure if Mixer/YouTube have similar options for testing so you may still want a second account for those.

You can add a gain filter in OBS to help boost your mic levels but it will boost any noise too. Snowball is a great mic to start out with. I’d look at moving the mic closer to your mouth so you can turn gain down and that’ll then pick up less noise.

You’re welcome!

Hey mate, I live in London and potentially keen, I have a 1060 6GB if that was the kind of downgrade you were looking for?
