someone please explain to me HOW this channel doesn't have way more subs?!
One day I'll finish a build without cutting my hands as well. . .
hey friend! I really liked your channel, it gives us a lot of information.. I use it with subtitles translated into Brazil..
I really wanted to see a new video re-recording the MSI bios in 2023 because I've already tried and everything seems to go perfectly but at the time the system doesn't identify the pendriver as a drive, in other words it simply doesn't appear in any of the functions, whether from 0 to 3 or any other, it simply doesn't identify the pen driver, I use an MSI X470 GAMING POR and I updated the bios by mistake to a version that only supports the Ryzen 3000 series. disconnection of usb and video..
@spaceinvader one – sent you an email regarding help with a unraid network question to your youtube address. Thanks in advance
hahaha i just got that same Motherboard for my 24 bay server rack server. good stuff
what is the motherboard model?
Hello from a new subbie! Thx for an informative video and sharing your experience.
Hi, thinking to upgrade as well, honestly I have been waiting for this video. Still, when I would not care about quicksync and would look at power efficiency side of things, don't you think non-X ryzen 7900 would be a suitable opponent to i5-1360k please? Still, it has iGPU as well, although it is not quicksync.
I enjoyed seeing your build. I like the personal touch you did with the engraving.
Does anyone know where I can get that 16-bay case in the US? All the ones I can find that ship from the US don't have the 5 1/4" bays? I need this for my 2 Blu-Rays drives for ripping my movies and TV Show collection. Currently I'm using a Thermaltake WP200 case but I want a rack mounted solution.
how did you get the power tab on your unraid toolbar?
Is there any particular reason you weren't interested in trying a Ryzen APU like the Ryzen 5700G? Or even The Ryzen Pro 5750G (which comes with support for ECC ram).
Same applies to the new zen4 CPUs that came out last year. I know you'd be forced to use DDR5 memory, but I've heard they are more power efficient than Intel Raptor Lake thanks to their 5nm fab, and they all come with iGPUs now which are meant to be pretty good. I know a lot of the laptop community are starting to gravitate more towards Zen4 over Intel these days for power efficiency.
How is the build quality on that TGC case?
They are available here in Australia however I'm always a bit hesitant with Chinese products
I bought a case from ServerCase about a year ago and hate it. The holes to pass through Mini-SAS cables were not big enough (not sure why they designed it like this with a backplane that would need these cables) and when racked doesn't seem to line up properly with the u positions in the rack
I always say if you aren't shedding blood building a computer you're doing it wrong.
You know you're doing it right when your project makes you bleed!

blood sacrifice has been paid, the PC gods are satisfied.
I've heard of hardcoding an IP address but my man ENGRAVED IT. talk about commitment.
Maybe I missed it, but what's being used for power monitoring here?
I have the same case just the 20bay version on unraid.
Amazing video! What about your UPS? Which one did you choose? I'm searching for a rackable UPS too but prices are insane for known brands.
Thank you
Loved the video Ed. I have been thinking intel from AMD for a server upgrade I will do next year. You have now convinced me. Keep the content coming.
Really interesting to see the switch to Intel after I've fairly recently done the opposite. I moved from a 9600k with a pretty bad Z390 motherboard to an Ryzen 1800x in a ROG Crosshair VI Hero. The main reason I moved boards was because of the amount of SATA ports available as well as the NVMe not hindering the PCIE slot bandwidth – It was a relatively tough weigh-up at the time due to having to do it second hand and parts not being as easily available in NZ, but it's worked out pretty well. Having access to a P2000 helped confirm the move to AMD at the time.
Your videos showing what setups to do have made my current setup possible, and this video only adds to my future thoughts on what I can do with it! Maybe I'll make the switch back to Intel when it's more suitable 🤔
Great to have you back. Also, Shadow is a very good dog.
I love your build videos, process, mistakes, purchase logic, and as always you are a huge asset to NAS community!
Great Video!!, but I was curious if you started over from a fresh install of unRaid when you built the new setup? I only ask, because I recently had to swap out my setup due to a hardware failure and moved my unRaid server from AMD to Intel and I'm having lots of random 100% spikes on my system that I didn't have before and my array drives no longer spin down like they did before… even if I click the spin down button, they stay up.. I'm really unsure how to troubleshoot everything. The system is very stable otherwise, not crashed or had any other weird behaviors…
You mentioned two videos a week?
Can we do requests? 😇🙏
syncthing would be on the list 🙏
I do also have the Z690 extreme. What I don’t like is how the IOGroups are. What do you think about it?
I was really looking forward to get the power difference for the i9 in the end 😊 I am still torn between all those extra cores – Also any special CPU pinning needed using Intel?
Great video. I was curious what VMs you have running on it and how many cores and which ones did you assign to them?
We have missed you Spaceinvader!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the video….ironic that I was already on the fence for almost 2/3 of what you discussed here anyway.
(sigh) as if I didn't have enough empty Amazon boxes…adding to pile after watching.
2080ti in Unraid club lol.
Something seems off. You changed so many variables. You went from one class of CPU to another. The AMD CPU is twice as expensive! CPUs from two years apart! Left out GPUs, changed motherboards etc.
In the end making this attributable to switching from AMD to intel is so weird. Why not just say you got a new server?
I have the same 24 Bay enclosure running Intel, but rather than work out how to save energy with a big power-hungry server, I built a second all ssd server running mergerfs just for serving media. Running zorinos and docker for emby etc. I then run the big server whenever needed and wrote a script to rsync to the ssd media server. You don't need expensive components in a second server and can focus totally on energy saving. Plus you don't need a gpu use an igpu. Plus you could use the media server for desktop duties, even pihole or pfsense maybe. It's good to see more videos.
do you have 8 sata ports om MB when using m.2 drives? it tends to reduce the available sata ports available
OMG that mess when doing hardware maintanance… Like looking in mirror when I doing hardware related maintanance on my UNRAID Server 😅😅😅
And that blood… Can relate! 😅😅😅
Thanks!
100%, when I'm doing a build and especially swapping parts from one system to another, there is usually stuff everywhere! 😁 I'd quite like to build a similar setup, but it would be massively overkill for my needs. Perhaps if I decide to start studying for some IT Certs again, I'd probably need a big virtual lab. My HP Prodesk 400 G6 is doing a great job at the moment. Space for a single 3.5" Sata drive, and I'm using 2 M.2 NMVE SSD's also (one in a PCIe slot and one on the mobo). Has a i7-9700T and draws about 6-7watts when idle, but only peaks at about 20 under full load. I don't think I'm going to beat that kind of efficiency any time soon.
Always sad when I watch Euro youtubers build a server, because it seems you guys have much better homelab rack mount cases.
might want to edit out the amazon account and location info in the footage
I just don't trust 16i HBAs after mine (9201) was running hot, despite 120 mm dedicated fan, and died after few months. Never had any issues with 8i ones, running cool and reliable for years.
My Idle usage went up when I switched form AMD to Intel 13 th gen since I wasn't using a gpu with a high power draw. I went from an AMD Ryzen 2700 with a radeon hd 5450 to an Intel i7 13700k
