June 7, 20233 yr Hi All, just placed an order for an i5 13500 and MSI B760 motherboard to install into a spare supermicro chassis I have. My current server is absolutely fine other than the power consumption so going to move away from the dual xeon I currently have which run constantly at around 150w New build is going to cost just over £500 and the plan is to install into the supermicro chassis get unraid tested using a trial licence and move pro licence and drives over once everything is running smoothly. Ordered a front panel cable extension from ebay Once moved over I am hoping for to cut the power use by half with a bit of luck but will see how it looks. The only other thing I am considering is 10GB nic to connect directly to my 10GB port on the Unifi Dream Machine SE. If anyone has any suggestions on what NIC to buy and use with DAC cable that would be great. This build will mean moving away from ECC I have tried to stick to £500 budget. Might go over if the stock cooler doesnt fit
June 8, 20233 yr Author Made some progress today, got motherboard and memory installed, didnt require the ATX extension cable and connected to front panel connections that could be connected. Just waiting for CPU to be delivered and a 4pin 3 way fan splitter Does anyone know if I can still connect the PE Pin to Power Supply I2C (JPI2C1) Quote The Power Supply I2C Connector, located at JPI2C1, monitors the status of the power sup- ply, fan and system temperature. Assuming this is supermicro specific and not available on MSI motherboard. Before and After pic attached, also pic of fans I would like to replace with something better if anyone has any suggestions?

June 9, 20233 yr Author System all up and running! Put a trial version on a usb and let it run for a few hours. Everything looks good.Any tips on moving usb and hdd to new system?Or should it just work? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk
June 9, 20233 yr It should just work. One thing that needs attention are passed-through devices in vm's or docker containers.

June 15, 20233 yr Author Yep, just left it disconnected. Just added the front panel cable extension and usb header for motherboard. Edited June 15, 20233 yr by bally12345
