Here is the build:
GA-B75TN
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770T CPU @ 2.50GHz
8GB Memory -> x2 Kingston 9905428-102.A00G
Fractal Node 202
mSATA 128GB
3.5" 4TB WD Red -> Not currently plugged in, looking for SATA power cable and place to put the hard drive
Intel Dual NIC Card
AC Adapter 19V 4.75A / 100-240VAC 50/60Hz
Few questions:
1) The motherboard manual says 8GB max, bit I really want more RAM in there. This is a Proxmox server and having 8GB is very limiting. Do you think this is 100% accurate? I'm tempted to put 16GB in there, but don't want to waste money for nothing. UPDATE: 16GB works
2) This will help me secure my 3.5" hard drive into the case, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in Canada. Anyone have any ideas?
3) If I do happen to get my 3.5 hard drive in there, will my power brick be able to power the whole setup, and possibly a 4TB SSD in the future?
4) I'm looking for a SATA power cable that will go from my motherboard to the 3.5" without lighting on fire or melting anything. Any suggestions? If you are confused, google "SATA cable fire".
