    ok, i certainly didn't know that only the i3 supports that memory. i'll do some research and keep an eye out. thanks

    i didn't realize that an i5 could provide equal performance. the ram i use is 1600MHz DDR3L PC3-12800 ECC CL11 1.35V SODIMM

    Need new hardware recommendation.

    with regards to the supermicro a1sri-2758f m/b. if i install pfsense, are there any bios tweaks i should be using? i.e. should i be disabling hyper-threading? i can't find any bios setting to do this.

    Help with Supermicro build

    i took everything apart and started over. i used the picopsu. i think the problem was with the proper placement of the power supply pins from the case to the motherboard. as soon as i plugged it in the fan started and it successfully booted up. i'd have to say that the board and case are a...
