TeKo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hey, Im looking for a budget UNRAID build. I want to use it for Plex (1080p x265/x264 and 4k in the future) and some Dockers (maybe a VM for testing). What I have: Drives SSD (Can I use the same SSD as cache, my Plex library and other stuff?) Controller: M1015 (flashed) Case: Define XL2 PSU (Thinking about getting a new one or switching with my Desktop PSU) CPUs + Boards 1055T fx-8350 A6-3500 Some DDR3 sticks. So, Im thinking about getting a new CPU+Board because the ones above are not really what I want to have running 24/7 (and the A6 is just too weak). Im not really transcoding but it should still be able to handle 1-2 streams but the main goal for it is to be power efficient. If I was able to use DDR3, that would be great Quote Link to comment
whipdancer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If you use your existing CPU's then the DDR3 will work. Nothing new uses DDR3. Quote Link to comment
TeKo Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Obviously new hardware is not using DDR3. I have no problem buying something used. Xeon E3 v3s look kinda nice, especially the L versions but they are super expensive. Was just hoping for some combo suggestions with a passmark score around 6-10k. Quote Link to comment
