viola2572 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I want a machine for vm s is a Ryzen 9 5950X any good for Unraid VMs ? and if so what MB should I get? Quote Link to comment
Mobious Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I am thinking of upgrading to this from my dual Xeon E5-2665s. It looks good. Same amount of cores at a lower power draw. I haven't decided on a MB yet. I want to get at least 2 16x slots and a few 8 or 4s. Then get 64gb or 128gb memory. Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 5 hours ago, Mobious said: I want to get at least 2 16x slots and a few 8 or 4s The 5950X will provide less PCIe lanes than one single Xeon. Certainly a good CPU, within the use case it's been designed for. And it's probably not designed for a ton of peripherals. 1 Quote Link to comment
KTFirst Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hi. Sorry for being a newbie. I am in the build stage. I need a fast NAS (should be able to access my 4K/Atmos stuff) and also backup, maybe little VMs, but not sure. No gaming. No GPU. I want to use 12-18 discus (Seagate Ironworlf Pros 18TB). So given this. Do I need more PCI lanes than offered by a AMD Ryzen Cpu? Or should I buy a low-end Xeon? Any CPU/card recommendations are appreciated. Oh, thinking of the Broadcom SAS 9305-24iPCIe 3.0 x8 for the drives. Quote Link to comment
viola2572 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 If its important stuff make sure you use a cpu and MB that supports ECC memory, thread rippers have lots of lanes Quote Link to comment
