April 9, 20215 yr I have an unraid media server right now that won't post. I'm still troubleshooting but figured it might just be time to upgrade. Here is my current configuration. ASrock Z75 Pro 3 Intel Core i5-3570 32 GB DDR3 RAM LSI SAS 9207-8i Storage controller Nvidia Quadro P2000 Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 850W I use all 6 SATA ports on the motherboard and I have 4 variable speed fans. I was considering getting a motherboard that would support the same CPU and RAM but obviously if the problem lies with one of those components I'm wasting time. I run a typical plex stack with dockers for media download/management. I have a couple of one off dockers like Home Assistant and a Unifi Controller, but nothing that requires a lot. No VMs. A quick look at Newegg and I came across this guy: ASRock B365M Pro4 for $85 or does it make sense to get something that supports the Z390? MSI PRO Z390-A PRO for $130 2x8GB DDR4 RAM for $85. Do I need 32GB? I think I have 32 right now just because someone gave me some extra. And then CPU... Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz for $215. Guess $500 ain't bad considering my current setup has lasted several years. Would appreciate any feedback or recommendations on components. Thanks!!
