Is the G4400 able to run 24/7 a minecraft server??

Arthur199 · Jan 17, 2017

So I'm about to build a minecraft server for 300$.
Specs:
CPU:
Intel Pentium G4400 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor
MoBo:
Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
RAM:
Corsair 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
SSD:
ADATA XPG SX910 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
and of course a HDD.
What do u guys think about this idea?? Is it worth the money or can I get more performance for the same money??

Thy for the replys in advance
Arthur

Arthur199 :

I think you'd be better off going with a G3258 build. It has an unlocked multiplier and can easily be pushed to 4.5GHz on an simple air cooler. This is going to give you much, much better performance on the single (at best dual) threaded java programming that minecraft runs on.

Not only is it going to be dramatically faster, it should be cheaper overall given the slight age.
You won't benefit from any of the features that skylake has for a java server.

You need more RAM. You should really run a minecraft server on a RAM disk. I would put in at least 16GB. With 4GB going to the RAM disk, 8GB going to the server, and 4GB should be plenty for the OS and stuff to run smoothly.

An SSD is fast, but not fast enough for minecraft in most cases - a RAM disk will be around 10 times faster to write your chunks than an SSD.

Thy for the quick reply. I'll get 16 GB RAM. But technically the G4400 would work??

For what it's worth, my vote goes to the G4400, or even G4560. Skylake's improved performance per clock partly makes up the difference, and even with just a MC server running there's going to be stuff going on in the background.

You could check the new Kaby Lake Pentium processors, like the G4620. They are dual core with Hyperthreading (4 threads). And they should not be much more expensive than previous Pentiums.

What do you guys think about this configuration??

Iknow the PSU has a bit to much power but, I want a quality PSU.

grmnlxndr · Jan 17, 2017

You could save some bucks getting a B250 motherboard, because the CPU is not overclockeable and you won't get any benefit from Z-series motherboards

grmnlxndr :

Ok Thy for this Info

, I'll buy https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gDtP7h this configuration, with the B250 MoBo.

grmnlxndr · Jan 17, 2017

For me the configuration seems good

Ecky · Jan 17, 2017

Could probably cut costs down a bit more but that's the basic idea I had in mind.

Arthur199 · Jan 17, 2017

Ecky :

Ok good to know 2 Guys think good about my configuration

I'll order these things and then tell u how every thing is working!

Awh I somehow stopped following this thread.

The G3258 is stronger single core in every contest when put up against these locked up little kaby lakes.
2% faster stock out the box, up to 25% faster with a mild OC that can be achieved on cheap air coolers.

Considering Minecraft is java, and Java does not like threading at all what so ever, this was a very new and expensive build, to run software that is older than most of the people using it.

Honestly, 4 threads provides zero benefit to minecraft.

Arthur199 · Jan 19, 2017

greens :

So u would suggest not using a kaby lake. So for me, I already ordered some parts of the build, so it doesn't matters for me anymore, but thanks for the other info

Hopefull this thread will help other peoples.

How well does the processor run the Minecraft servers? Are you running modded servers or just vanilla?
