isvein Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment
drdebian Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
isvein Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Is that not for the iGPU support on 9th gen? Quote Link to comment

The iGPU won't be available for QuickSync on unRAID until they move to a linux kernel 4.20 or newer. I seem to remember them saying that 6.8 will be on a kernel in the 5.xx. 1 Quote Link to comment

hingepin Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
