pyrater Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Since the big server (Icarus formally C.O.R.P.S.) is not super portable (wife wouldn't let me take it anyway), I have decided to build a new mobile server for all my travels.

tdallen Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Nice. How’s the cooling for the i5-8400 in the U-NAS case? Quote Link to comment
pyrater Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Thanx! With the new fan design and side fan on the 810A case vs the 800, alot better. My CPU is normally hovering around 33C but i have not put it under a huge stress test yet. The 810 also has room for the stock Intel cooler unlike the unas-800. If the temps give me trouble i will upgrade all 3 fans with noctuas. Edited February 10, 2018 by pyrater Quote Link to comment
bonzovt Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm looking at the ASRock Z370M Pro4 LGA 1151 (300 Series) MB right now, do you know if this works ok with just the onboard video for pass-through to a Windows VM? Quote Link to comment
