My new server??

Posted by Bunnbuns at 10:25 PM on 7/13/2019 EST:

I've had an Intel i-6700 (and an i7-4778 too) lying around for a few months ( plz dont ask how or why) and decided to try and make a better server for m website, 3/4 Minecraft servers, and storage stuff. All I have is the i7 but I need everything else, so I looked up some stuff and found this great website that does cool stuff.
I need input to see if I should do this project (and if their are better options out their that use my i7 (or are cheaper but still reliable for a server).

Found one issue, that motherboard only supports a ram speed of 2133 for that cpu. PCPartPicker didn’t catch that for some reason. Need different ram.

Also, PCPartPicker didn’t verify if your cooler will fit. But it will probably be fine.

@herronto Thanks for the info!
So I should use this instead?: Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.99 @ Amazon)

@herronto Oh wait. What about this:
Motherboard: ASRock - B250M-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($66.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.99 @ Amazon)

Your ram speed has to be 2133. Look for one that says DDR4-2133 on it. Not sure if any other motherboard would fix that.
