May 31, 20197 yr Hello My current main unraid server (mostly used for plex, fileserver and a minecraft VM) is running a 1st gen i7 (9xx) and it is soon time for an upgrade. Im wondering about an i5-9400, anyone tried that cpu here?
June 1, 20197 yr I'm not sure, but I think there still are some driver issues with the 9th gen processors... which is why I went with an i7-8700, just to be on the safe side.

July 19, 20196 yr isvein, Did you end up getting the i5-9400? Thinking about it as well and waiting for the updated kernel to come around. I direct stream my plex server for now but have plans to remote stream in the future. Why not go for the extra cores at the same price as the 8350k? I don't plan to do more that 2-3 streams at a time with lidarr sonarr, and radarr dockers with plex or move to emby.
