Hey Guys,
I've just recently made the switch from Freenas to Openmediavault and so far I've been liking it allot. While making the switch to Openmediavault, I also decided to changed my hardware. This include changing my cpu from a Intel Core 2 Duo E6500 and a ASUS ATX motherboard to a AMD C-60 using the C60m1-i motherboard. While this motherboard has everything what I wanted (low power cpu, 6 sata port, etc) there is one problem that I have ended up, when I tried to encode a video via plex, the cpu falls onto its face and it lags very bad when I try to watch TV shows over my chromecast. Yes stupid me for not researching this before, really didn't think about it when I bought the motherboard.
Now I've came across the Asrock Q2900-ITX motherboard which has a CPU benchmark or 2063 and I'm aware that plex needs a CPU of around 2000 to encode a 1080p video. I just want to ask has anyone had problem with lag with this motherboard while encoding 1080p video via plex, because I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Moreover, if anyone has any other suggestion of any other mini-itx motherboard with a low power CPU feel free to let me know.
Sorry if I'm not very clear, I've just had a long day at work and really tired.
Nick
