kingy444 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Looking at upgrading my aging rig (running an i3-3300 atm) so I can take advantage of some VM's and also retire my old ESXI host Currently looking at the below parts - after some input on how people feel this will perform - looking at the i9 rather than the new i7 due to lower TDP (this is also the reason for not getting the K or the KS models) but happy for someone to try and convince me otherwise here. My current rig is a Mid Tower, but now having moved house I have a rackmount available, unfortunately 600 deep, so I am restricted to the rackmount case sizing (the RM41-506 is the only one I have found to fit) this is also the reason to look at the lower TDP as I am slightly concerned about airflow being less effective in the rack (wall mounted in a corner) CPU: Intel Core i9-9900 3.1 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9S 46.44 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Supermicro C9Z390-PGW ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Flare X 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-2933 CL14 Memory Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB Phoenix OC Video Card Custom: SilverStone RM41-506 Black 4U Rackmount Case, No PSU Custom: SilverStone 3x 5.25in Bay to 5x 3.5in SAS/SATA HDD Chassis Converter x2 obviously I will salvage some parts from my current box like sas cards and power supply too Edited June 19, 2020 by kingy444 Quote Link to comment
