Quote:Just looking for some advice, currently have a plex server setup with old PC components out of my gaming PC, 8700k with Asus ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, looking to reduce power consumption and make something a little more PLEX focused, we recently got a 4k projector so starting to look at supporting more 4k content on the server. I have underclocked the 8700k to drop the power consumption but the processor still seems like overkill for the setup. Also unsure what PSU I should be looking at, unsure what is in the system now but I assume some 800w Corsair or something along those lines. I am using no real features of the ATX motherboard as well, so must be wasting additional power there. I would like to stick with TrueNAS as I know it well, in terms of storage, I have 3x Ironwolf 3TB drives, looking to get some larger drives as well. Budget isn't a huge issue but would like to keep it as low as I can. Appreciate your help
I think optimizing your Plex server setup for lower power consumption while ensuring it can handle 4K content is a practical goal.
