newoski Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 MOBO: supermicro X10SL7-F CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1276 v3 RAM: 32GB DDR3 My server is straining under load, despite great improvements being made after watching spaceinvader1's videos. I'd prefer not to upgrade my MOBO or RAM, but at this point I'd love to add a beefier CPU to handle my multiple dockers and heavy DL/UL activity. What would be my best Unraid-beneficial CPU upgrade available that is compatible with the current MOBO? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment

ramblinreck47 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 With that motherboard and CPU you’re basically at the very top of performance for that 1150 socket. Any change you make to add a different CPU will be considerable cost with almost no performance increase. If you really want any noticeable performance increase, you would need to upgrade your motherboard, RAM, and CPU. Quote Link to comment
newoski Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Other than PSU, do I need to worry about other hardware comparability if I upgrade MOBO, CPU, RAM? IE Sata cards, drive cages etc etc? What would a sane and then an overkill upgrade look like for me? Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Start with this from the spec sheet on the Supermicro website: Look on the Intel website and find the processors that meet these requirements. Then go to the passmark website and look at the performance of the various options. You can find that here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ Good luck in your search. Quote Link to comment
