    Nas only to link to Intel NUC

    Yeah, I had already looked at this, was looking at running an ethernet to the loft and sitting the computer up there, but no electric sockets, in all honesty I haven't been "Told by the wife" but I don't use it for gaming (occasionally I play football manager) but i have a corner desk with two...

    Nas only to link to Intel NUC

    I only put the pc specs to show that I wouldn’t be reliant on the NAS for streaming Plex remotely and that the NUC will be responsible for most of the heavy lifting, I was more looking for advice on the box itself, and that despite the 1GB of ram (I believe it’s not upgradable) OR if there was a...

    Nas only to link to Intel NUC

Sooooooooo, I have just purchased a Intel NUC 13th gen i7, I am going to use this as a general rig...

    Any way around double NAT?

    I’ll. e honest, I’ve never had a issue with double Nat as I’ve only ever used one, I’ve just heard people having issues with it, was hoping to avoid it before having any troubles.

    Any way around double NAT?

    I have just been sent this screenshot of the Virgin router, it shows DMZ. I wondered if you could port forward everything to the asus. This is the 5 but the newer 5x may be different.

    Any way around double NAT?

    It’s going to be Virgin FTTP, they seemingly use a ONT/Router all in one that doesn’t currently have a modem only mode and i wont be using any landline/voip service.

    Any way around double NAT?

    No as I say all Openreach services are copper, limiting me to 50meg (very strange as using a openreach modem I get 50-55meg) but BT hub I get 70…… but want to use my asus. It’s Virgin that have recently been laying FTTP but they only offer the hub5x which at the moment doesnt support modem only...

    Any way around double NAT?

    Would I still be able to access the router externally (My asus) also I didn’t mention I have my router connected to an older ac5300 as a mesh.

    Any way around double NAT?

    I’m hoping to change ISP soon, as current one with Openreach is only about 50 meg and new FTTP being installed will give either 1 or 2 gig. Doing a little research into them and the current router they provide, at the moment doesn’t provide a “modem only mode”. I want to use my current Asus...

    PC fans

    Yeah I’m really not sure now. I watched a YouTube video that said if you use a 4 pin header it will blow the RGB. If I was to get RGB I was going to fill the case…… 7 fans needed and defo overkill for my useage. Might look at non RGB and just swap the 3 out. 😂😂 may be cheaper too.

    PC fans

    Ok so I’m back…… seems like I’ve lost any knowledge I used to have!!!!! So if you read my previous thread I’m looking at upgrading my pc fans. I have a ASUSmotherboard that has 4 pin headers but I have a controller that has 3 pins in a row. When I’m looking at fans they are 3 pins but with a...

    CPU advice.........

    ok, ive fount the answer on reddit......No, 9th gen CPU's only work on 300-series chipsets. Z170 only supports 6th and 7th gen, despite them all being the same socket. sorry to waste anyones time. guess this can be closed.

    CPU advice.........

    Hi Internet people...... hope this is ok here as I'm not on many forums these days compared to the past. So in 2016 me and a friend built me a pc, now it gets used less and less as time goes by and i hate the fact I'm not using it as much as I once did. With streaming becoming easier and content...
