Dual cpu question

[born2ride]

For home use would Dual cpu setup  be overkill?  Is there a benefit i am not aware of?

The dual CPU sockets is probably most useful if you plan to virtualize some significant workloads. For example, several streams being re-encoded in real time. For just storage, without any virtualization, dual CPU sockets is certainly overkill.

 

It is not the location of the server, but what you use it for.

I am not sure if i would be using it for virtualization yet, thinking just  storage, plex , a file share for family, but lately the kids want a minecraft server but think that would be better as a stand alone unit,

With dual socket you could totally put that mincraft server in the same machine (as a VM).

You dont need dual Socket to run a minecraft server. There are also minecraft dockers out there, no need for a VM (mineOS and mcmyadmin2)

but what case,heatsink/coolers and psu would be good?

While this would be a sweet setup, it is complete overkill for what you've stated your needs are, a single socket will more than suffice.

You are correct it would be , Was just thinking about the future and possible move blue iris over to it.
