I know this cpu is probably an overkill for a NAS but my system is way due for an upgrade and I bought the below parts for the new proper server build, all this to fit in a Norco 24 bay case, current system is based on a Abit X38 motherboard and an Intel Q6600 cpu (hardly server class hardware):
Asrock EPYCD8-T2 (could be the EPYCD8, I haven't receive it yet, Amazon description is T2 but there was two of the same mobo priced differently, if not the T2, I will connect x540 T2)
Crucial 2 x 16 DDR4 single bank RDIMM
Corsair MP510 480GB nvme drive
Noctua NH U9 TR4/SP3 (two fan model)
Undecided on the below:
AMD EPYC 7301
Or:
AMD EPYC 7251
Plus 2 more crucial stick of RDIMM
Which above CPU option will be best for the NAS build.
