Been using this setup for a long time, generally works fine but I'm sure I'd notice an increase in performance if I upgraded. Just noticed the CPU is sitting at around 76C without the server doing much, so at best I need to take it all apart, at worst its time to upgrade.

I suspect the value is in buying 2nd hand, but maybe a 10400F + Mobo + 16gb would come in budget?
 
Kudos for picking a matx board which I'll need to fit in the Node804....

Now i'm on the conversation, I believe the reason I was thinking of Intel was due to it being a better fit with Plex.....
 
Probably the case, and the extra grunt from a 4500 would likely bridge that gap in the event I do have an issue in the future (had a couple of problems with "not enough processing power" error codes, but I believe that was a glitch rather than an actual cpu problem).

Thanks for the tips!
 
Black Friday came around and I've got a 5600X, B550 motherboard and 32gb RAM on the way... should be a nice upgrade!

I wonder if there's any unraid benchmarks....
