Jockaruba Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Today my DN2800MT motherboard of my caps music pc has stopped working. What would currently be a good 'drop in' replacement, possibly a step up, nowadays? (Using a PPA usb V2 card and a separate external powersupply) Thank you, Jock Music Server: Caps v3, ssd, ppa usb3 v2 card, external usb hdd, Keces Powersupply,Windows Server 2016, JRiver, audio optimizer.

Jockaruba Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Thank you Elberoth, The Gigabite looks interesting. I noticed that the clock speed is relatively low on the N3160 (1.6Ghz) compared to the 1.86Ghz of the DN2800. Will this be an issue/have an effect?

Jockaruba Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 1 hour ago, lmitche said: My NAS uses one of these ASRock boards but it's the standard ATX model. You can use a 12 volt Pico supply, which works great. Otherwise a fancy hdplex DC to DC power supply will work as well, but you need more voltage like 19 volts. Yes but I have this nice Keces powersupply that is 12V that I would like to use, Thanks Music Server: Caps v3, ssd, ppa usb3 v2 card, external usb hdd, Keces Powersupply,Windows Server 2016, JRiver, audio optimizer.
