So it looks like I'm finally a victim of the Asrock C2750D4I board death on my Mini XL. I want to try to bring this back to life and save the data that is on my ZFS pool, but it feels like it would be a shame to just get the same MB and weak processor. I was hoping for an upgrade on CPU of sorts (to something with Intel Quick Sync if possible) to get more transcoding power. Has anyone taken a Mini XL and upgraded the motherboard to something a bit more recent/beefier and had any success in not having to reinstall the OS / reformat the drives? Or even if you did have to reinstall, how big of an upgrade on the MB can we get out of the Mini XL?
Trying to get a feel for what my options may be, or if I'm SOL.
Thanks for any pointers or advice you could provide.
