February 21, 20242 yr Hi everyone I am going to build my own Unraid server, for data hoarding, but also for running as a server via Docker. An important factor for me, is low power usage when doing nothing, and drives powered down. Would this setup be good? Asus Prime H770-Plus D4 Motherboard Intel I3-14100 CPU Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2*32 GB Ram Corsair RM750X PSU And some random cabinet. I plan on adding 2 * 1-2 TB NVMe drives for dockers and caching I have 2 * Seagate Exos 7E8 - 8TB harddives, and som old 1-3 TB drives as well (will be emptied unto larger drive in the future)
February 21, 20242 yr Looks fine. There are other chips in the raptor lake series that are lower power which might offer better functionality but it really depends on what type of docker containers you plan on running (if any).
February 25, 20242 yr i would buy a smaller power supply which is just enough for the power consumption of the hardware. because if a 750 watt power supply only consumes 50 watts or so, it will run more inefficiently than a 100 watt power supply consuming 50 watts.
