August 16, 20205 yr Hey guys, I could use some help with upgrading my Unraid box. At the moment i have a box with the following specs: Case: Bitfenix Phenom (mini-ITX) CPU: i5 6600K Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170-Wifi (mini ITX) Memory: Not sure what brand, 2x 8GB DDR4 The motherboard mentioned above has one pci slot, this slot is used for a sas/sata card. My pc has the the following specs: Case: N-Case M1 (Mini-ITX) CPU: i3 6100 Motherboard: MSI H110I Pro (Mini-ITX) Memory: Not sure what brand, 2x 4GB DDR4 GPU: Nvidia Quadro P4000 Because my Unraid box has no free pci slots i've put the Quadro in my 'normal' pc for some light gaming (mainly Overwatch and Heartstone). I'm looking to buy some new hardware for the folling reasons: My harddrives sometimes overheat (50 degrees c), i don't have enough space for all my drives, i can't use my Quadro in my Unraid box at the moment. I've already set my sights on a ATX motherboard but i'm not sure if need a new CPU. I could keep using my 6600k and buy a new case (Fractal Design Define 7 XL) or i could buy the case with a new CPU (Intel or AMD?) and motherboard. I don't mind ripping either one of these pc's apart and making a good working Unraid box with all the parts. Also my budget is around 300 euros without the case (i'm buying the parts in The Netherlands). Unraid is mainly used for Radarr, Sonarr with Plex. Thanks in advance.
