I just built an Gen 9 i7 with 16GB DDR4. when I transcode a 2160 video to 1080 P my CPU max’s out at 100% and stays at about 97% the entire movie. i would think this setup should be able to handle this

So I guess what I am hearing is that I should not transcode 4k my spanking new Gen 9 i7 is not good enough and if I add a GPU it might help. I have plenty of storage and bandwidth so that is not an issue I just want to start building my 4k library as I start to transition my hardware to 4k.

Yeah, pretty much, good tl;dr 
The i9 has a QuickSync unit already built-in. Activate hardware-transcoding and see what happens.
moved Plex to the host OS now the CPU spikes at 80% drops to 30% and spends most of its time around 60%… Thank you Otto. guess I can’t put it in a Hyper-V VM. can’t enable RemoteFX because I don’t have a GPU installed
you are on windows I assume since you didn’t previously specify, but now mention hyperv.
in the windows task manager you should be able to monitor the gpu usage for video decode/encode.
this will help you confirm that the iGPU is doing both parts (decoding existing file, then encoding to new stream)
60% cpu seems like a lot for such a new and pretty high power cpu.
So I didn’t have the correct GPU drive installed and now that I do my CPU is spiking back to 100 and the GPU is 10-20%
