FloppyWaffles Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Hello! So I currently have an unRaid server built but I would like to upgrade a little bit. Its kinda an all for one build for me. I would like it to be able to be able to do the following: -Plex, one user -Occasional small game server -NAS -Back up for a few home PCs Current Build: i7 950 32GB RAM non ECC memory 20TB My current CPUs I have laying around 2x E5620 2x X5550 2x X5667 FX 8320 FX 9370 I would like to use a pair of the xeons I have laying around since I have 64gb of DDR3 ECC RAM I could pair it with. Another option would be to sell all of the above and buy CPU/Mobo/Ram that would suit me better. What do you guys think? I would like to stay in the ATX form factor since that fits my current case.

whipdancer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) The FX-9370 runs circles around everything else you list. It should do everything you require, but it won't be a fast machine. It really depends on how much effort you want to put into it. I'm currently planning my next upgrade (current build is about 7-8 years old) and will be targeting a Threadripper or possibly an i9. Edited September 19, 2018 by whipdancer Quote Link to comment
FloppyWaffles Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks for getting back to me. Maybe I should just keep running this one until I can save up enough for the threadripper system. Quote Link to comment
shanehm2 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 To be honest I dont think you will see any benefit. The fx 9370 yes is a bit faster but also runs at a TDP of 220w which is alot for slightly better performance. If I was you I would outlay new cpu ram and motherboard in one hit. If you dont see a need for the current cpus try and sell them on ebay to help fund your upgrade Quote Link to comment
