Intel G5400T.. thoughts?
- 
 Hello. Been running PfSense through a virtualised instance on another rig for a while and love it, time to build myself something new and shiny. The G5400Truns at 35W BUT can set TDP to 25W and it happily runs 4 threads at 2.1GHz so am hoping to run passively cooled. Is that enough for 1Gb LAN traffic and proxy for 6 clients? Rest of spec will be 4GB RAM and 120GB WD Green SSD. Many thanks.

 The CPU has AES-NI at 3.10 GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/129949/Intel-Pentium-Gold-G5400T-Processor-4M-Cache-3_10-GHz Should be more than adequate for your needs.
