Current Unraid setup

Multi-stream transcoding for Plex and Frigate (Coral) are important to me. The coral could be moved to a USB variant however. I occasionally run minecraft servers, but rarely run VMs any more at this point.

Oh boy, this is probably the least efficient cpu I ever seen and it consume almost as much as my Epyc 7551, check the TDP value.

That's a good list of LGA-2011-3 but crosscheck with CpuBenchmark : https://www.cpu-list.com/lga-2011-3-cpu-list/eng/

Yeah...this started on trade up parts and it's still running on them. I figured now is the time to actually buy a proper setup.

This video by Wolfgang has tons of good information on finding a good low power cpu.

There is a google sheet pinned at the top where people have real world power measurements.

Basically you want to find a low TDP cpu/motherboard combo.
