  1. I picked up a T3600 for cheap this weekend, and it has an H310 card, that looks like it can be flashed to 9211-8i. The problem is that the T3600 has almost no storage inside. I do have a Sans Digital 8 bay, dual sata connectors that I can use for storage. Is there a cable or converter to go from the SFF8087 to an e-sata cable,/bracket or sata cable that I could wire up the to case, that would allow me to use the card externally with the 2 sata ports (would have to support port multipiers)?

  2. I fixed the issue, in case anyone else runs into it.  I had to put in an older card to access the bios, but after a full weekend of trying to figure it out, I made sure the 1060 ran ok on another system (win10), with full drivers, and not sure if it updated the fw of the card or not.  Then I forced all of the pci slots to gen3, not auto or gen 2 (auto is default), and it finally accepted the card

  3. I just picked up an E5-1660 with a p9x79-e ws that I thought would be a perfect upgrade to my unRaid box, but I can't for the life of me get the 1060 to be recognized while booting (black screen, vga light on mb, and b2 error code).  I thought this would be a great video card to allow for offloading transcoding, and potential VM duty, but this has been a painful 24 hours.  

     

    Has anyone else run into issues like this, and found a resolution?  Looks like my alternative might be to sell the 1060 and go for a 970, as it's closer to the life cycle of the x79 boards.

  4. I have a chance to pick up a Asus p9x79-e ws and Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1660 3.3 with 16gb ram, or a Asus p9x79 ws I7 3820 3.6ghz with 16gb of ram, to replace my dual core AMD system.  Both are the same price.   I have an LSI HBA already, but want to get into more processing, possibly run a VM, but not much else.  It's used primarily as a media server, and will hopefully be running EMBY in a docker, and possibly Media Center Master in the VM.  

    Which board/chip would be the better choice?

  5. I just installed unRaid on a new system, and started playing with the plugins, specifically with the "fix common problems", but for some reason, I keep having it tell me that the "plugin update check" isn't enabled.  I click on Notification Settings, and have it set to check once/month for plugins version, and have it notify me by browser, and notification entity is all checked.

    I haven't rebooted the system, is there anything else I can do to fix this?

  6. I have an issue where my UPS is not reporting the load usage, so it can't determine the run time. All the rest of the UPS details are showing up, except for load.

    I thought it might have to do with my unmenu not working, but I fixed that today, and same issue.

    The only anomaly I can see is that for all my other packages(mail, clean powerdown, etc, they show as currently installed, will automatically be reinstalled upon re-boot.  The package for the APCUPSD shows as installed, not downloaded.

    Here's my ups info, anyone have any ideas?
