Wanted to share my work in progress server build, i'm making 3 x 2U High Performance Game Servers. Open to any feedback and ideas for further improvement/optimization. However some parts such as the Case, Motherboard and Memory i already have ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Operating System/ Storage Platform: Windows Server 2019
CPU: AMD 5950x
Motherboard: X570D4U-2L2T
Chassis: X-Case X235L2
Drives: WD Black SN850 500GB M.2 (OS) / WD Black SN850 1TB (Data)
RAM: 4x 32GB KSM32ED8/32ME
Cooler: Dynatron A24 (165w)
Power Supply: Seasonic PX 750W
Other Bits: Noctura Fans
Usage Profile: Game Server
Notes:
CPU: Ryzen 5000 support requires a beta BIOS for this board
Cooler: I will likely consider swapping the built in fan with a push/pull Noctua fan setup to keep noise down.
PSU: Seasonic confirmed to me that a desktop class CPU should be fine in 2U so long as it was a higher wattage as it will run in fanless mode.
