Hello ed,
First thing of all, thank you for your detailed answers, it's really helpful !
Considering your message, I'm trying to draw 2 different configurations :
1. A more powerful one
• CPU 5500 or 5600G (support ECC from documentation) /110-165€
• Motherboard Gigabyte B550M K (support ECC from documentation) /92€
• PSU fan be quiet! Pure Rock LP (45 mm height, less than 70 mm required) /55€
• PSU be quiet! SFX Power 3 300W 80+ Bronze /65€
• RAM Kingston Server Premier 16 Go DDR4 2666 MHz ECC Registered /72€
• Case fan be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM /15€
• Jonsbo N4 case /120€
TOTAL COST : 529-584€
2. Intel solution
• ...
Well, I'm unable to finish an Intel-based setup. I'm angry against Intel because their technical doc is incomplete. On their website, they indicate the G7400 E and TE both support ECC, while the information is just "missing" for the G7400. And of course, it seems impossible to find the E version online.
> Intel Atom C5310, impossible to find
> Xeon D, same
> i3 series : most of them are non-compatible with ECC, according to ark.intel.com. ECC-CPU are only special version, E, TE and PRE. Again, it seems to be impossible to find them online.
According to my research, I'm thinking more and more to simply avoid Intel because I'm feeling incapable to determine if my setup will fully support ECC or not !
The only reason why I spent hours finding information is power efficiency, because you told me a Pentium or Celeron would be more reasonable.
In case of AMD choice, the 5600G is more power efficient than the 5500, according to Tom's hardware. Do you think the upgrade is worth it ?
I didn't measure myself but according to the internet, my actual NAS draws around 15 W idling. I guess I will increase my power consumption in any case, am I right ?
At this subject, can I ask you what you think about the PSU choice ? I guess in any build, a PSU of max 300W is sufficient. I looked for a gold certification at first glance, but it seems hard to find in SFX format. The PSU suggested is non-modular. I think that's not a major problem, the case is not so huge but I bet it will fit in it.
Concerning the RAM choice, I didn't really understand the difference between ECC registered or not. I choose this RAM principally because of the price.
I'm also adding my own fan for the case, in order to replace the noisy sold with the N4.
Again, thank you for the time you already spent, I hope you will be able to find some more minutes to my questions...
Have a nice day,
