Hi,
I ordered the following for a home server and I would really appreciate some advice:
Intel Core i7 7800X
Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming 3
MSI GeForce GT 1030 Heatsink
It will serve SMB, Plex, Zoneminder & Home Assistant as well as transcoding my Blurays to x265.
It's going to be running 24/7 so I want it to be quiet and the idle power consumption to be low and was thinking I could underclock the CPU and the video card, is this a good idea, also what about disabling HT and Turbo?
For everything but x265 it could probably get away with a lot less grunt and I could set the CPU back to defaults if I was going to do a lot of transcoding.
What is the state of reclocking in Linux?
Thanks for looking.
Richard
