Hey all,
I am currently running a E3-1230V3 with HT disabled, Asus P9D-M and 32GB Unbuffered DDR3 ECC memory with 2x LSI 9211-8i with Trunas Core as the OS. I am wanting to upgrade to a newer(used) platform to try and reduce power usage but I am struggling to find a nice combination that has enough x16/x8 slots for my HBA's while having a low powered CPU like an Atom. Its a pure file box and never goes past 1-10% load.
Can anyone suggest something that would be suitable, even if it keeps using the DDR3 that would be fine, just seems a waste for this cpu to sit idle all its life.
