Posted November 12, 2022 Hey everybody! Im trying to get into making my own home server, but im really not sure which parts i should choose. I have been thinking about getting a Intel® Core™ i5 10600K, as cpu, but im not sure and have no idea which motherboard, etc to use with it The primarly use for the server would be running a modded minecraft, and other game servers mostly minecraft. If u want any more info to help or something hmu, im open for talking Gaming PC Specs: Spoiler CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-10900KF Processor RAM: 2xCorsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4-3200 Motherboard: Asus Z490-F ROG Strix Gaming GPU: GeForce Asus GeForce® RTX 3080 10GB TUF Tower: Asus TUF Gaming GT301 VG-Edition Storage 1: Intel 665P 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD Storage 2: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD Storage 3: 999GB Western Digital Storage 4: 1999GB Homelab PC Specs: Spoiler CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X RAM: Kingston FURY Beast - DDR4 - 32 GB: 2 x 16 GB Motherboard: ASUS PRIME A520M-A Tower: Chieftec Gaming Series - Tower - micro-ATX Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB MZ-V7S1T0BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 12, 2022 My go-to recommendation for stuff like this is a Xeon v3 or v4 based workstation, like the HP Z440 or Dell Precision 5810. Something with the LGA2011-3 socket. You won't get modern single-threaded performance, but the hardware is attainable and you can pack the thing with loads of (relatively) cheap registered ECC DDR4 RAM. I sold my soul for ProSupport.

So u wouldnt recommend getting a Intel® Core™ i5 10600K?

You can get an entire Z440 with CPU, RAM, and a small SSD for just the price that processor alone is selling for now. A semi-recent office desktop would work too if you want something physically smaller and quieter. If you're sure you want to buy current parts, I'd go AM4 over 10th gen.

What currents AM4 would u recommend especially for handling modded minecraft, and other game servers? same price range as the i5-10600k?

Posted November 12, 2022 Author Like i looked at these for options it would atleast make the price a bit cheaper, but i really dont care about the price like i can always wait a month or 2 extra for some more cash.

I even host other services on that machine, but not too much because of the lower core count of the 2637 (4c8t). using a K series processor for dedicated game servers isint a bad idea, but it depends on how much money you have to throw around. most likely you can get away fine with using older, cheaper server hardware with lots of optimization (world pregeneration, optimization mods/plugins, ect), and while also being able to use virtualization to take advantage of higher core counts to learn and explore other IT technologies. it always depends on how much money you have to play with, but i always suggest spending more for something good and reliable so that you have fewer headaches. 13th generation dell servers are getting cheaper on ebay, and a recycler near me gets them regularly and will sell them to me for next to nothing ($80 for chassis and ram).

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X ASUS PRIME A520M-A Noctua NH-D15 Well these stuff are more favorable to 10600K IMO, especially for Minecraft. The only issue is, the cooler NH-D15 would have been a total overkill... Better for picking up another around $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock coolers are more then enough for a NAS/homelab unless you intend on having a workload that will have the system slammed at 100% all the time and want it to be silent.

Thats probably what i need at the beginning, when i make it.
