Just wondering if anyone has tried the - MSI 890FXA-GD70 - motherboard. Got a good price at tigerdirect.com store in Dallas. $184.99 with a $20.00 rebate. Want to make sure it is UNRAID worthy.

 

Thanks,

I have this same board in my gaming rig paired with an AMD Phenom II Six Core.  I used it to configure my first unraid setup, and from what I can remember everything was supported.  I am almost positive everything works, but if you want I can boot it up tonight and try testing it out.  Make sure unmenu works and my plugins.  I can let you know how it goes.  As this is my first post I will mention that I don't know too much about the Linux side of unraid so Ill try to run what I can on it.

 

 

P.S.  this board is super overkill for unraid, even with air-video, java (minecraft server) I don't think you would be using all of the power it has, but if your like me then you want the best, so you dont run out

Agree on the overkill for Unraid. I was wanting to run a MySQL server as well. Still overkill for these 2 functions. I loved the 5 PCI-E slots. Have you been able to find a SATA III  controller with 4 or 8 ports for this thing? Would love to find a SATA III controller to work with Unraid.

 

Thanks for the info.
