VIDEOMED Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Can UnRAID be installed on a Dual CPU Motherboard with two XEON CPUs? Quote Link to comment
DarB Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I am just in the early process of upgrading my server and shopping components. Just curious if dual processors might be better bang for the buck long term? I was looking at an Intel Core i5-13500 with a GPU but then started down this rabbit hole and am questioning this. Just wondering what the general consensus is. Quote Link to comment
rtho782 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Server hardware means ECC ram, which imo is well worth it. You can get some older servers pretty cheaply, and they have lots of PCIe and RAM slots, and potentially more cores. They are however louder, and more power hungry. You lose quicksync for plex transcoding (although you can add a GPU, I'm about to add an ARC A40 to mine). I'm running a DL380g10 with 2x28 cores and 1TB of ram, and am very happy with it.
