    New Atom Asrock ITX Board

    in Motherboards and CPUs

    Posted

    I just found a shop close to me that sells this board quite cheap, but I would really like to know if this supports standby / s3. probably not, but some ASRock Xeon boards do, so it's worth a shot. The Supermicro never support S3.

     

    Can you check using 'cat /sys/power/state' what the output is?

     

    my output from the above command is:

    NAS> cat /sys/power/state
disk
NAS>

     

    I hope that helps. FYI, I am not running unraid ATM I am currently running xpenology on this machine.

    Did you end up getting one mate? Very curious how it handled PLEX. I'm looking at one of these board specifically to give more transcoding 'ummph' over my current D525!! Also want to use it with FFMPEG to re-encode a lot of my uncompressed movies / tv shows!!

     

    Yes, I posted some of my findings here:

    It is a really impressive piece of hardware. If you get one, you will love it! It has no problems transcoding multiple1080p streams.

    These boards just showed up! I just bought one from newegg for $359. Gonna give it a go.

     

    But when you look at the "Features" of the specific CPU used it tells me it will be a horrible board for anything else such as PLEX, or virtualized non-NAS only instance; basically anything that might find MMX, SSE, SSE2, etc useful.  Hopefully ASROCK releases similar boards with the Sxxx series CPUS

     

    You got me concerned with your mention that it might not do well with Plex. That is one of my key components for this build. Looking at your link it does support MMX, SSE, etc though doesn't it? Any insight would be appreciated.

     

    I was thinking it should do fine for Plex based off of this performance review:

    Edit: Just went to add the newegg link and see that it is out of stock... I must have bought the last one!  :o

    Low-power T processor vs. Unthrottled CPU for Plex Encoding

    in Unraid Compulsive Design

    Posted

    First of all, such great info in this thread! Thanks all :D

     

    I am wanting to do a similar setup to all of your builds using this case. I want to put together a powerful ECC memory system so that I have the flexibility of switching to a ZFS system if I decide to (I am going to build the machine then try out unraid / ubuntu w/zfs on linux / freenas.) I am thinking I will go with unraid but I want to try everything out and I think I will feel great having an unraid setup with ecc anyways.

     

    My usage will be unraid as a media server w/ plex/sab/sb/cp

     

    Could any of you provide your input on this motherboard / processor combo:

     

    motherboard: Asrock E3C226D2I

      http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.asp?Model=E3C226D2I

     

    processor: Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1220-v3

      http://ark.intel.com/products/75052/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1220-v3-8M-Cache-3_10-GHz

     

    Compared to an i3-4130 am I running my wattage up a lot? What about compared to an i5 Haswell?

     

    Am I gaining much processing horsepower with the Haswell Xeon?

     

    Are there compatibility issues I am missing?

     

    Thanks a million for the input!  ;D
