Yes i solved it by changing my motherboard... maybe not what you are looking for !

@dehjomz Thanx for the answer. Respectively : Yes that is what I planned on doing, and what is recommended by Caldigit. One or 2 cables from the GPU to the motherboard, that is a question I asked myself right away. I have to dig deeper, but both ways are not a problem, it's merely a...

How I understand it is : GPU Display port to Motherboard DisplayPort X2. Then, from that it **should** work like advertised on the Caldigit website, that being one single Thunderbolt 4 cable from the motherboard to the dock and then a monitor plugged in the DisplayPort port and the second...

@etorix I naïvely thought the pcie of the GPU would share the video signal to the thunderbolt system. (like I said, I know nothing about it) Of course now having read the manual of the motherboard, the cable situation is more clear ! Shorter cables or segmenting longer cables is what I'm after...

Sorry to interrupt, but I need a little hardware advice. I'm running that build (though with an RX 5700XT) with 2 displayport monitors and it works like a charm. I'm pondering on buying a Thunderbolt 4 dock( this one). I was wondering if anyone has used it with this build and if so, with what...

Interesting thought. My old board was a gigabyte z490 xtreme.

I changed my setup, moved to a Z690 pro Art (golden build by CaseySJ) and the problem vanished, same drive, same cloned OS.

@RetroRocker I don't know about the Saffire and how well a firewire would work, but i use a Scarlett 2i2 USB (+DBX286s) and it works perfectl. For the case, yours doesn't have a USBc header, so maybe you can benefit by tweaking the USB mapping, and gain some ports on the back. Otherwise, I can...

@RetroRocker I use this build with a Sapphire RX5700xt pulse, works like a charm with agdpmod=pikera. I'd personaly go for at least 850w, but I indeed used this build very briefly with a 650w, worked just fine. If you buy a new PSU make sure it is compatible with ATX3 and PCIe 5, just to be...

@fabrik Yes I will take pictures for you during the week end. It's nothing fancy at all.

@dehjomz I'll give a try to the warm reboot ASAP.

@dehjomz USB works of course. I just read somewhere (Dortania maybe ?) that it should work with Bluetooth. Maybe I misread though, it makes sense that BIOS is not Apple compatible ;)

@etorix I got your point perfectly, I will not change my NAS motherboard just now, but I surely will start learning more about it ! @oli.mathieu I was wondering as well is this NAS topic would not be better on a separate thread, I was refraining myself from commenting to avoid squashing posts...

@etorix thanx for your explanations and wise words ! For now I feel I have a whole new world to explore and much to learn, so the h170n is plenty. I'd say I might be using 10% of my servers' potential, so I will get into more serious server parts when it will not feel ridiculous Though I...

@etorix thanx for the insight :) do you think downclocking the i3 would be wise ? I fear it would save a tiny amount of power for a big loss or performance (especially when using Plex)... And you are 100% right about itx being limited, my Nas is only a very small one, very amateur, and, one...

@SmackAttack I have been using Apple original WiFi modules for years. A common issue I had (and it turned me insane) was flaky Bluetooth. I solved the problem entirely by shielding the Apple module. Aluminum tape (over thick plastic or masking tape), thin metal sheet (the old beer can or soup...

I was actually looking into my NAS this morning, maybe this hole thread is a figment of my imagination... @CaseySJ You are my hero for saying that, but one might also point out that solar panels are absolutely not zero carbon. Most of them are made in China by factories powered by coal...

@MacGeoDoc I asked a very similar question recently, see post #2753. Fiy, I just put together the build yesterday with a i7 12700k and it works like a charm. I'm afraid this build will also be my farewell to hackintoshes, time will tell ;)

Thanx @CaseySJ ! Done the build yesterday night in a record time. So far after almost 10 years of hack, one of the most straightforward builds I have ever seen ! One precision though : Does it mean that if on "Disabled" I will not see new updates ? It is on "Disabled" in my config and macOS...

CaseySJ recommended Bios 2004 instead of 1720 last time I asked (before all the Bios posts about TB), but he didn't elaborate why 2004 would be better than 1720 (besides being newer). If 1720 works, then I might stick with it until shown good reasons to flash...
