CPU and RAM upgrade
Thanks for this great review. Since short I am also the proud owner of the TVS-872XT NAS.
I am looking for options to upgrade the CPU of this NAS to an I7 and go to 64gb RAM. I would like to inquire to what motherboard is in the NAS and what CPU types would fit on the motherboard. I read about the Intel I7 Core 8770T but I can’t find it for purchase in my neighborhood.
On the RAM upgrade. I know officially the TVS872XT supports up to 32gb, but I found several users to upgrade to 64gb (2x32gb). Samsung seems a good choice, but would you have other experiences or recommendations?
Qnap is still using Intel® Core™ i7-7700 processor in 82series NAS. It is compatible with the CPU socket FCLGA1151 which can be found on 72XT as well as 82 series motherboards. The maximum memory upgrade using Qnap memory is 32 GB ( 2 x 16 GB).
You can use Crucial 32GB sticks if you want to upgrade to 64GB. Look for Crucial 64GB Kit (32GBx2) DDR4 2666 MT/S CL19 SODIMM 260-Pin Memory – CT2K32G4SFD8266
Here is a list of compatible CPU list, just make sure you can mount the cooler.
Yes, you could upgrade to i7, it uses the same socket. Just make sure cooling is OK.
