Recommendation for server

[Strixxviii]

Hello I’m currently rocking a potato i5 9th gen 32gb ram pc as a server for the game ark survival ascended I wish to run 10 servers which recommended specs for each server is 3 cores, 10 gb ram and 5gb storage I’m currently running 3 servers with no issues so starting with my potato help me build what I need 

 

i5 9400F

Asrock h310cm Marx

32 gb 2888

4tb m.2 Sata

850v power 

1080 GeForce

uhhh, you're not running 10 servers on consumer hardware.

 

If you're after pure cores for game servers:  Ryzen 9 7950X  (or if you're trying to be cheap, 5950x)

 

16 Cores, 32 Threads.  

 

If you want 30+ Cores?  you need to invest in Xeon.

why are you wanting to host 10 ASA servers at home?

why not?
A cheap 24 core threadripper. zen+ or zen2 would do the trick. 

Actually found something cooler

epyc would be the obvious choice here

7k62 48 cores for 305$, the 64 cores are abit over double the price albiet zen3 7763 or equivalent oem version

 

mz32 ar0 430$ so yeah boards are peetty pricey

 

but ecc ddr4 should be pretty cheap by now mainly for 16gb and 32gb sticks

so.. you're gonna spend $4k in server hardware because you're too lazy to turn off and on instances when you switch map?

I actually have spares of ddr4 sticks of 2888 so I can use these but I will look into these parts I know how to build a pc but these things are beyond my knowledge and I don’t want to over purchase things like this

Yes. Plus maybe a cool rack and RGB for speed

If more processor cores and RAM are what this game needs, I would like to suggest the followings:

• Replace the processor with dirty cheap CC150. It provides 8 cores, 16 threads and draws reasonable power, of which this poorly designed H310C board may be capable. Replacement to motherboard may also be planned as that board does only have 2 DDR4 slots.
• Switch to Ryzen 5000 series. The top-notch 5950X or slightly slower 5900XT give you massive 16 cores, and may be coupled with up to 128 GB of DDR4 RAM, with reasonable costs.
