I haven't used my burner in ages. I use the SATA port for an additional HDD. If I ever need to use it, I will just plug the SATA cable in.
The very gods themselves smile down on me!I had no power the last few days Digi so you got till monday !
Nope, I just didn't seat it right because I put it in after I installed the motherboard. ALWAYS install memory beforehand, there's too much flex in the mobo when it's installed so it's easy to not mount it right.What happen? Bend motherboard?

All better now, everything is running great.
Don't feel bad, didn't you hear the bit where I spent 20 minutes in the UEFI trying to find my HDDs only to realize I hadn't plugged the SATA power lines back in to my modular PSU?Wait... I though the flex was by design and I always plug them while the motherboard bending. Ugh I'm so dumb.
The problem are your hard drive cages and drives. Get rid of them to get some actual airflow. Need mass storage space? Get a home NAS instead. At minimum consolidate all those hard drives into a single large drive.Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to replace the tempered glass window with a different material or if I'm able to cut a fan hole through the tempered glass. I need a side fan for my GPU I think, just adding it where there is no place for it needs a little bit of digicreativity but I don't wanna just use my tinsnips and hammer on this case. :|
I'm not disagreeing, I'm just budget limited.The problem are your hard drive cages and drives. Get rid of them to get some actual airflow. Need mass storage space? Get a home NAS instead. At minimum consolidate all those hard drives into a single large drive.
You most certainly can build a NAS as opposed to buying one. You can use something like Unraid or Freenas which are free and gain software RAID for some of your important content you want redundancy on. Old PCs are perfect for it.I'm not disagreeing, I'm just budget limited.
Wait a tic, a NAS? What is a NAS really? I don't have to buy one, do I? If I threw together a system with left over bits and put all my HDDs in it wouldn't that sort of be a NAS if I had it hooked up to our gigabyte network?
EDITED BITS: I could use it as my torrenting box too so I don't have it qbits running in the background constantly. This isn't a stupid idea, is it?
Thanks Malo!
No dig, focus! Focus damnit!Then again, I could do both. Build a separate NAS/torrenting PC and put a fan in the side of my case and keep most of my drives....
