Ryzen 5 1600 for server machine

[TinyBolts]

Would ryzen 5 1600 or other work well for dedicated game server hosting? Games: Unturned and DST both running 24/7 with 30 players at max, each from DST need 65ram and Unturned similar, so it probably doesn't require much performance. Thanks for all info!

Personally I'd just go with used hardware, not new stuff.

 

And what do you mean 65 RAM?

mb, sry 

 

alright, but what used hardware? what cpus would work well? I know from other posts I made that the xeon 1230, 1240 and 1245 would work, any other consumer cpus that would work?

65 MB?  a Pentium 166 MHz should do then /s

 

Any machine playing or hosting games should have at least 8 GB, maybe 16 if they are intense.

nah, one game 2d and other like minecraft, but less optimized. 166 MHz??? that's awfully low, and what do u mean by the /s?

8 should be fine then, that's been the standard for a long time and it will hold on for a while longer yet I think

about ram I know, I just need to know about cpu's, if I need more ram ill just upgrade.

tbh I'm not sure what it takes to host minecraft anymore... It was always an incredibly CPU-bound game, but couldn't utilize many cores effectively.  That said, that was when playing it.  I'm not sure if the demands for a server that is not outputting visually would be different... I suspect it would.

Nah this is not like minecraft, just type unturned 3.0 in google or utube and look at the images and stuff. Dst is not a problem, i will only have 10 players max on it, and an intel hd laptop can run it no prob.

Just to make sure--

Are you hosting on windows or linux?

oh sorry I thought that was what you were trying to run

" like minecraft, but less optimized "

Hm, oh my, I didn't realize that could be possible lol  Well like I said I'm not sure what it would take; the CPU demands for preparing things for the GPU to render can sometimes make up the vast majority of the total CPU load, so even CPU demanding games might be easy to host if the server is not rendering anything.

Idk rly, ill just get a free version of whatever, and download it or i could take windows 7 and upgrade to windows 10 from old laptop.

My laptop i was talking about could run the server fine with 20 players, its an old dell laptop, atm im on a toilet lel, will check whats in it later. Sadly that laptop's sshd failed.

That should help give a good idea what it will take to run it with 30 or more.  If you could check the RAM and CPU that would be useful.

And also, I wouldn't host a minecraft server because no one would come, they all just go to the most popular ones, unturned works diffirently, so i can profit off that, lel.

8gb ram, gpu, so wierd radeon running at 1100mhz or 1000mhz and ill check the cpu in a bit. So sad the computer died, I had all my stuff on it.

 

Not computer, the SSHD

 Try to use linux if you can, the overhead should be lowered by quite a bit.

 

Also, if an old dell laptop can run 20 people, a decently new used i5 off ebay should work enough for 30 people easy.

I doubt the GPU would come into play if it's just hosting without rendering anything, but you should be able to look up the model number and get exact specs for it.  Alternatively, if the machine still works and ti's just a dead HDD, you could boot up another OS on a USB stick and check the specs that way

Coffee lake launched, ill have to check the price of those.

That said it can't be that old if it has an SSHD

The model is written on it so ill check taht way, will be quicker.

Yeah that would be ideal

All in all it's not really any different from previous generations.  That said building a whole new computer for this is probably excessive, unless you need a new PC anyway and want to just host this on the side, which you could totally do.

Yes, ill get a new pc since that laptop sshd died, and ill sell it since it runs fallout 4 at 5fps or so... i rly wanna play that game ffs i rly do and i just can't with 5 fps. And forgot to tell u, the laptop ran Unturned 10-20 players while i was playing on that laptop too, of course i didint have any plugins or many mods, so i would need more power for this, also, Unturned has really grown, has huge maps and lots of stuff and events, its way more demanding now, at least when playing.

OK I found the model Dell Latitude E6440

I cant seem to find the exact one, mine is like a super model thingy, it has 8gb ram while others have 4.Mine has a 900p screen, other have 768p.

[TinyBolts]

Idk, maybe the Xeon-1230 v2 would work? A guy helped me a lot on another post of mine, he linked 3 links to Xeon 1230 1240 and 1245's for quite cheap, I just cant find a cheap motherboard.
