After several hours of research I've opted to get a 12600k, ASORCK MINI-ITX board, LSI 9300 8i along with 64gb ddr4 ram. Should be sufficient for my needs while I decide what to do with the EPYC chip.

I answered my own question. It CAN NOT transcode 4K. My next thought is building a cheap(ish) i3 or i5 mini-itx build that can do this. Is there any good suggestions for that?

I've got an AMD EPYC 7302 server w/ ASROCK EPYCD8-2T. I've also got it running with 18 8TB drives. I'm needing to downsize this and I'm looking to spin my old NAS up which is a ASRock C2550D4I w/ 32GB DDR3 ECC memory. The problem I have is the newer EPYC server has totally frozen up several times now for no apparent reason. No error codes, nothing. I had to power cycle it to get it back up and running. Wil the ASRock C2550D4I be sufficient to transcode a couple of 4K PLEX sessions while I attempt to fix the AMD EPYC or should I just abandon the AMD EPYC build in favor of a more power friendly setup?

I wanted to add one more thing I found to this and I don't think this is an unRaid issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subiquity/+bug/1882162 I can see the Discover and Offer from the DHCP server but the server itself does not see the Offer from the server. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Just to note, if I change it to virbr0 it works just fine.

I recently setup a Ubunutu VM and a Home Assistant VM that both are unable to pull dhcp and when I assign them a static address they're unable to communicate with the network. I'm looking at another exact same VM that is able to connect. Not sure if it's a problem with my router/dhcp or Unraid itself. Any ideas or suggestions to try?

I'm noticing something very similar myself. This is an entirely new server using 6.8.1. Systems are having trouble seeing the actual SMB share. But once it shows up performance is fine.

Wanted to add to this thread in regards to compression. I'm running a newer Epyc chip with ZFS and when compression is enabled I'm seeing some massive dips in drive performance. Whilst this was only on 1 VM with 4 cores on unRaid as soon as compression was disabled the performance went back up. Not sure if there is something with the new Epyc chips that is causing compression to slow things down or what. I'll give it a try again once I decide how to setup my next pool of drives.

I've done some searching but can't find anything specific to AMD Epyc related builds (Also tried to read the build recommendations wiki/page but nothing specific to Epyc.). The plan is to get the following with the possibility later on to add 10GB network, more RAM, more disk. Half way future proof it. I have a few NVMe drives laying around I'd like to use in some way to help increase performance over all as well. Other usage will be 2-3 VM servers for Camera Server, Plex, and miscellaneous software testing. https://www.newegg.com/supermicro-mbd-h11ssl-i302p-ma015-o-single-amd-epyc-7000-series-processor/p/N82E16813183698?Item=N82E16813183698 64 or 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM.
