elstryfe Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 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?

elstryfe Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment
elstryfe Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment
