MasterArvist Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hey guys!! I believe first time poster long time lerker!! Ok currently like everyone else I have two independent systems running in my house. My gaming laptop and my antiquated unraid server. My current server is running on a q9300 processor with a max 8 gigs of ddr2 ram on a supermicro motherboard. Now after watching Linus Tech Tips many videos of X gamers 1 Cpu I am considering giving this a try. I am looking at buying used hardware, which I am not opposed too, but never have in the past on my main rig. I am looking at 2 e5-2690 cpus and Supermicro Motherboard X9DR3-LN4F+ I/O. I can get them all for $680.00 with a 30 day warranty, but my counter offer expires on my cpu in less than 24hrs. My concern is related to hardware failure of these components and will they be adequate for my use. I am planning to use my Unraid box as a gaming machine, home dvr vm windows 10, a family vm windows 10, nas, plex media server, crash plan, and want some extra capacity for adding different linux vms to learn on. As far as games go I play Battlefield 4, WOW, HOS, other AAA mmos, and various other first person shooters. The video card I am considering is a GTX 1070. I will list the rest of what I am looking at buying below. Let me know what you guys think about this option and the parts I have picked out. CPU: E5-2690 X2 CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9DXi4 90mm SSO2 CPU Cooler Mobo: Supermicro Motherboard X9DR3-LN4F+ I/O Memory: Crucial 32GB (2 x 16GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR3 1600 PSU: CORSAIR RMi Series RM1000i 1000W 80 PLUS GOLD Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 Cache SSD: Kingston SKC400S37/512G 2.5" 512GB SATA III Business Solid State Disk X2 HDD: Seagate Enterprise NAS ST4000VN0001 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache X2 Case: Rosewill RSV-L4500 Quote Link to comment
MasterArvist Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Also, I want the CPU side to be viable for atleast a couple years as far as gaming goes. Quote Link to comment
MasterArvist Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I went ahead and bought the processors, motherboard, and memory. I will stress the system once everything comes in to ensure no issues. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 for the cpu what version did you go with? v4 - 14 cores v3 - 12 cores v2 - 10 cores v1 - 8 cores Quote Link to comment
METDeath Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 for the cpu what version did you go with? v4 - 14 cores v3 - 12 cores v2 - 10 cores v1 - 8 cores Based on the motherboard model I think he likely has the v1 like most of us E5-2670 guys. Quote Link to comment
