rexxy003 Posted June 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2016 Hi guys. I'm new in opennas/freenas/xpenology environment here. I wanna build a some kind of "high-end" DAS/NAS server for XPEnology at my home/small office. So, I don't know if this Gigabyte motherboard will works for that. I chose that board to use thunderbolt ports at the same time for mutlimedia, video transcoding on the fly, video streaming, etc.. Please, I need an honest guidance on this, cause although this is risky, I dont wanna lost my money and no longer return the parts back. I will appreciates your feedback, guidance or help. Thank you.

Schnapps Posted June 2, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2016 I think this would do the trick but I'd personally go with the E3-1230 as it's the perfect fit in all series (v1-v5) between performance and price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted June 2, 2016 Share #3 Posted June 2, 2016 that motherboard is using intel skylake, we know it works, several people already used other brands with the intel skylake chipset. I myself just recently ordered a new ASUS motherboard also with intel skylake, and i'm pairing it with a Core i3-6100 the CPU you listed E3-1220 is Sockets LGA1155 but the motherboard is LGA1151 it's not going to work, find a CPU that is for LGA1151, or find a motherboard for LGA1155 CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
