What’s your cooling solution? What are temps like? Does your motherboard have sufficient VRMs and subsequent cooling? Even with PBO it might not reach full bore if your board has wimpy power delivery. The 5800X and it’s cousin the X3D need about 120W just to reach their base spec boost clocks. Overclocking, like your 4.7 all core goal, will require more. If you lost the silicon lottery it might never do 4.7.

Empirical evidence is all your boss should need, especially if money is an issue Nested virtualisation has its use cases, but is highly unconventional in a production environment due to performance impact. That said, since this is purely for a quick test to verify a virtual machine backup image, I wouldn't see why it wouldn't be viable. If there's also a requirement to maintain network connectivity in the nested VM, my advice would be to hook the VMs up to a vSwitch that allows MAC address spoofing and promiscuous mode. A dedicated vSwitch for this is recommended for security's sake. This isn't a must, but at least take it into consideration .

32 Gigs is probably plenty if this is just going to be a server for Plex, HA and some other small bits and pieces. I'd recommend looking into Proxmox VE (PVE) as a general OS and build on top of that. The 1080 can be used for whenever transcoding is needed, just need to run an unlock script so it can do unlimited streams until it reaches 100%, otherwise a consumer card is limited to 1 or 2 streams iirc. Your biggest issue will indeed be a case that can hold 15-24 drives. I'd personally look for less higher capacity drives to get to the capacity you need. It's better (and usually about the same price) to use i.e. 4x16TB drives versus 8x8TB drives. Less drives means less power and less chance for a disk to go wrong during a rebuild. Especially when the system is actually being moved, less drives is better. You'll also need a beefy PSU for all those spinners. What kind of capacity are you aiming for? Any particular resilience or performance requirements?

The i5-6500 is significantly faster on single thread than a 4570, but both are kinda slow nowadays. Minecraft can't utilize a ton of cores very well and mostly wants fast cores. That 1090T is probably bottlenecked by a low end board without VRM cooling, some people think a $40 board and top end CPU go well together That or throttling, AMD CPUs of that era throttled between 60-70 degrees already. 8GB is plenty for a single vanilla server.

Windows 7 ISOs are no longer offered by Microsoft. 8.x will probably not be for long either, as it's end of life as well, without extended servicing like 7 got. Probably need to look "elsewhere" from this point forward. That's why I keep an archive of ISOs on my NAS.

Are you running a fully up-to-date Ubuntu? Always do an apt update and apt upgrade before installing 3rd party packages.

Clear webbrowser cache and reopen the web interface. Looks like a caching issue.

HDMI cannot process a dual link signal passively, HDMI is always single link. You'll need a way to adapt from displayport (through the USB4/TB4 ports) to Dual Link DVI. You'll need a so-called active adapter. Whether an active HDMI 2.0 to dual link DVI adapter exists and works for this, I'm not sure.

I saw that 90+ minutes ago and an hour ago, boom, down like a 3rd chromosome 21.

Been like that for an hour, yeah.

Sure as hell remember it better than 9/11. I was having a massive dump while browsing the YooToobs.

We traded LMG for bitcoin!

That's an opinion, not a fact, but hey, to each their own. I love my Mac and my PC equally.

That's not LTT. LTT channel is offline. That's TQ

I am a Mac user and I am offended. *cries in M2 Pro Mac Mini*
