Was it for the money that you chose the rysen 9 or because you are looking something in particular in an AMD CPU? 12-cores is not cheap anyway, especially at 3.8!
Would kill for an update on my rigs, but life thrown some other priorities...
By the way, I have noticed you are IT consultant... life's good or would you be interested in a HPC job in New Zealand? =)
I wanted more cores so I can run a few virtual machines. Speed-wise I think this should future-proof me for at least a little while. That CPU was top of the line 6 months ago, but the 16-core has taken its place and costs 50% more. I mostly try to stay a bit behind the bleeding edge.
I'd love to live in a place like NZ at some point, but for now I'm going to sink roots in the US for a while. The last twelve years I've been living and working all over the place!
Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah... for VMs, I would go threadripper (old ones will do)... but that also ripes you off. Having the right frequency and core count combination to have VMs and play games on the same rig is kind of hard. Tried that with overclocking my entire "juvenile" life... and could never get the right satisfaction.
Maybe one day I will get back to it.
If you look into some of my madness posts from 1 or 2 years ago, I have used a datacenter cooling door to passively cool my last 7 year old PC... a Xeon with almost 75% more TDP due overclocking, plus overclocked AMD R9-290. Anyway... old times for now, as I don't have the time anymore.
Cheers
We'll see how it goes. I'm not not really a gamer, but will probably play around with some games to see what it can do. Just want to build something with some flexibility for the future.
Hey, @tatjanastan and @dobartim, can I understand why are you downvoting my comment?
Are you in some sort of downvoting list for automatic downvoting power? If so, please review it carefully as it makes no sense to have downvoting if you don't know what are you downvoting (same thing for the upvoting).
Otherwise, I would like to know the reason, otherwise, it makes no sense to me your downvote.
@forykw you have received
50 ENGAGEfrom @joshman!View and trade the tokens on Steem Engine.
Upvoting my comment to remove the "hiding" mode while you guys figure it out.
They are downvoting because:
Had some time to investigate... would be nice to end this endless idiotic wars... kind of a waste of time (don't even care about the money in this sense because the behaviour just destroys it).
Well I don’t care at this point, it’s just noise that I tune out. I think Josh probably the same way ;)
This is a new behavior that reeks of desperation. Downvoting people by association will only accelerate their demise.
since we hate self-voting, we have to heal each others comments. @acidyo @joshman
Also Acid please hit @flysky's comments (which are already grayed out) with 100%. We need to get his rep down.
Since he is a blacklisted spammer @flysky should have a 0 rep, not 72
Makes sense to drop him first since he is already lower than doby. He also likes to downvote the comments of bystanders, so no sense in letting him drop their rep as well. I don't really care about my comments. I think people are more likely to read them.
They are both refusing to comment, so the point could be moot.
