Hello there, i’m looking to upgrade my 10 years old NAS/server. I already have the HDD and the case. But i have difficulties to chose motherboard, PSU, CPU & RAM.
So far i’m looking for :
AMD CPU, +12 threads
Because it's already a RAID6 I'm looking for a bunch of SATA ports, maybe a LSI ? Which one ? And 2 NVME slots for the Motherboard.
More than 16GB of ram, IF possible ECC
All of this available in western Europe
I’m aiming for a budget between 600€ and 900€ for those 4 components.
(I do know why i'm aiming at this kind of hardware. But I have stopped being hardware enthusiast like 9 years ago and I really need some help for this)
Have a nice day and a nice weekend :)
(If it's the wrong place to ask for hardware advises I'm sorry)
7600 has >90% of 7600x performance with a 65W TDP instead of 105W and it's cheaper. 7900 non-x also has a 65W TDP despite having twice the cores. Both x and non-x can be pushed down to 45W by enabling eco mode in bios. Performance difference between 65W and 45W is less than 5%.
If X variant is very close price-wise to non-X go with X obviously, but otherwise don't stress about getting the slower one, because for server workloads the difference is very small.
