Has anyone added a gpu, I can't find any instructions on how?!

You must use a GPU that is on the compatible list from QNAP. The GPU must not have any external power connectors as the PSU does not have enough current to support most GPUs. The only recommended GPUs are the MSi GTX1650 4GT LP OC, the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 LP or the ASUS PH-GTX1050TI-4G if you are using it for hardware transcoding. You need to open up the NAS case and install the GPU in one of the PCi slots. See page 33 of the User Guide.

what kind of ram fdoes this take?

I used the following without any problems. TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) 2666MHz PC4-21300 CL19 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V SODIMM 260-Pin Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory Module Ram Upgrade - TED464G2666C19DC-S01

Is one of the bays special in any way (used for the checksum disk in the raid)?

I should clarify my earlier statement. The checksum is actually spread across all the drives. RAID 5 checksum data increases drive requirements by one drive and RAID 6 increases drive requirements by two drives. So if a drive fails, the checksum is used to restore the data.

how loud is it - is there a lot of noise during normal operation?

Mine sits about 4 feet from my right ear. I use SSD drives so it's extremely quiet. I had put an older hard drive in and it was not acceptable to me. So your answer might depend on what drives and how many you put in.
