Backup all of my proxmox-LXCs/VMs to a proxmox backup server every night + sync these backups to another pbs in another town. A second proxmox backup every noon to my nas. (i know, 3-2-1 rule is not reached…)

Thank you very much! This leads to this article: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/deepseek-deep-dive-r1-at-home/225826/2 Maybe the 9959x is what I am looking for.

The i9-10900 has 4 channels (Quadro-Channel DDR4-2933 (PC4-23466, 93.9GB/​s). would this be better in this way than an i9-14xxx (Dual-Channel DDR5-5600 (PC5-44800, 89.6GB/​s))?

does the numbers (93 GB/s and 89GB/s) mean the speed for a RAM-stick or the speed all together? maybe an old i9-10xxx with 4channel-ram was better than a new dual-channel.

My edge case is: I wanna spin up an ai-lxc in proxmox. ollama and open webui. using RAM instead of vram. but it should low on power consumption on idle. thats why I want an intel i-9 oder core ultra 9 with maxed out RAM. it idles on low power, but can run bigger ai-models using RAM instead of VRAM. it would be not so fast like with GPUs, but thats OK.
I think a xeon would need more power…much more power in idle. I have an old Xeon E3-1275 v5, 32 GB RAM with a supermicro D3417-B mainboard and it idles about 10 Watts. this is fantastic, I but I don’t think I can get a good newer Xeon with low consumption like this. but I wanna send the old lady to retirement.

Oh, I’m not using it for OMV and Samba. I’m using it for ollama/open webui with RAM instead of VRAM.

sorry, fat fingers on tablet: I mean “open webui”.

For clarification: it’s for a proxmox instance. I wanna use the ram for open webzine/ollama.

Thank you! I will look into Gamer’s Nexus.

Thank you! The AMD-Route sounds also promising, but I’m not sure about there idle power consumption. they say that intle is bettle in idle mode. But i’m not sure if proxmox can handle the E-cores properly.
