gadreel 58 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) For Baremetal I have not read in the past a user with an AMD... if it was an Intel CPU like Core 2 Duo or Quad you can install DS3615xs or DS3617xs You can try... Edited January 14 by gadreel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyride 760 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 From an instruction support standpoint, any x64 processor should work with DS3615xs and DS3617xs platforms. DS918+ however does have a requirement for advanced instruction sets (we believe it to be FMA3; why a SIMD instruction is needed for a NAS is unknown, but it may simply be a compile-time standard at Synology for this platform). There may be other reasons an AMD motherboard doesn't work well, but it will not be because of the processor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it all works out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
