new intel cpu


Recommended Posts

hi,

right now i have an intel i3 8100 and a gtx1060, before unraid this was just my budget gaming pc.

but it seems like to game AND have unraid/docker in the background, the i3 is too weak/has too few cores/threads.

im not a fan of putting 20+ C/T into a pc but i guess now i have to change something.

im experiencing freezes and stutters once the cpu reaches 95% or more workload, under 95 it seems fine.

maybe it interferes with unraid?

 

so: what cpu should i switch to?

i think the i5 8400 should be fine, right?

so i could assign 1 or 2 cores to unraid and then isolate 4 cores for windows.

 

opinions?

greetings
