ubergeek Posted January 6 Posted January 6 This is for documentation purposes. This will be the third modification to this nas build. The system will comprise of I3 8350k on an Asus prime X370-a 32gb of ddr4 @ 3000 speed I am adding a nvidia p104-100 mining GPU unlocked to 8gb ram. I had 8x4tb drives moving and adding 6 more ** " might be 4 after I weed out the bad drives" I think the hardest thing will be the fact that I am also swapping raid cards and this may Bork Hexos in the process but hopefully it will see the previous storage and work with no issues because I will me adding them back in the same order Quote
ubergeek Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 First update.. the p104-100 was a but to long for this build "it hits the hot swap cages." So I swapped in a RTX 2060 for the time being. Pics will be up as soon as I finish wiring Quote
ubergeek Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 So things didn't go as I had planned, I went to boot the computer up and the power supply I had apparently bit the dust and would only now power the motherboard and ssd. Upon swapping out the now dead psu for a spair 500 watt I got life. Not the life I expected. Only 11 of the 12 drives showed up on the sli card. This now leaves my current setup broken. So when I have time tomorrow I'll have to dive back in this wiring nightmare and chase sata connections on the first 2 bays. Quote
ubergeek Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 (edited) Ok so after chasing the wires I was able to get everything back up and running. "It was a loose cable in sata port 4" now I'm showing all drives working. Inside of truenas I show no more errors but inside of hex dash it shows errors but I believe it's rebuilding or just taking time to catch up. For now I will run the 2060 for encoding tasks but it all fits in the case and although it's a bit ugly in the wiring department it will work. So to recap I went from a generic sli raid card to a 3com card with 4 more sata slots with out any issues once I figured everything out and was able to add another pool.

WhyCheese Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Looks choatic, i like it. What are you using encoding for? Using VM via truenas maybe? Quote

Atm its not doing anything. Since I got this going I have not had the time to set it up inside of truenas. Once I do it will be on plex now that I will be ripping most of my movie collection, I have another box that will host my 1080TI and a p104-100 on proxmox for my VM's Edited January 8 by ubergeek 1 Quote
