Hello i am new to this forum and Xpenology. I build up a System using Intel Pentium G4600 CPU (Kaby Lake) on Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-H270N-WiFi . Which is right BootLoader for me and does it fully support these CPU ? Thanks for your help.

i like to have your review for my analysis for best CPU for 4K transcoding. My targets: as much as possible codecs via hardware transcoding, less costs (<80€) , best for future 4K usage During my analysis i checked latest Synology models (here: DS918+) using hardware transcoding (see overview table here: link) Also i added currently used by XPENOLOGY (here: DS916, DS3615, DS3617) And latest my choise; Pentium G4600 Overview DS918+ Intel Celeron J3455 (Appollo lake) DS916 Intel Pentium N3710 (Braswell) DS3615 Intel Core i3-4130 (Haswell) DS3617 Intel Xeon D-1527 (Broadwell) My CPU Intel Pentium G4600 (Kaby Lake) after full compare https://ark.intel.com/compare/95594,91830,77480,91195,97453 i could sort out - Pentium N3710 ($161) and Xeon ($259) and i3-4130($117) as too expensive Update: https://ark.intel.com/compare/95594,97453 Then i had a look to future of 4K transcoding here and here and here and made comparism (did not found available CPU with AV1 Codec ) https://www.technikaffe.de/cpu_vergleich-intel_celeron_j3455-662-vs-intel_pentium_g4600-700 especially the table with codecs shows me that for me Pentium G4600 is best - 70€ (link, sorry in german) - many codec in hardware and h265 10 bit support - also T-Version with 35watts is available please share your analysis and give me hints if i forgot impotant things for future
