December 12, 20187 yr I have been floating along with 2 servers running, no issues for years, thanks Unraid! In any case, my back up server motherboard died. It was a standard PC board, nothing special. However, now the mb is dead, i am looking to replace it. My primary box is a 36 drive supermicro rig, that does the heavy lifting Plex and such. So basically I run a bunch of VMs and some communications through this one, ie. openvpn and pfsense. Plus it backs up the main box. The question is this.....i want to put a supermicro in it. However, how new do i need to keep it. e3-1245v5/6 too much chip for my purpose? I would like to keep it to one cpu. Am i better off digging up an older x9 vs a x11. Been out of the hardware game for a bit and playing catch-up. Thanks in advance.
