Well I just can help myself when I find a good deal.
Finally retired the 2600X CPU after finding a great deal on a 3950X.
I've always wanted one of these CPUs. It was flagship in 2019. I was a still in my early days of mining but it was as close to a threadripper you could get at the time.
The parts bin cooperated. Retiring the faithful 2600X today, it served through a lot of builds and light duty without complaint. It has/was my
#xmrvsbeast #gupax donor for a long time and if I find the parts it may go back to that!
This isn’t about needing 16 cores or 32 threads for daily gaming, I have those rigs built for those roles, it’s about finally completing the build I’ve had in my head, getting that historical ‘first mainstream 16-core’ chip, and having quiet headroom for whatever local experiments or homelab ideas come next. All while supporting one of my truest loves and passions...

All local. All mine. Privacy intact. Feels good to close the loop on an old want.
This is how I support
#monero #xmr. This is my passion part of it. I love to tinker and build. I love efficient private systems that are mine and mine alone.
@monero gives me that with every fucking hash!
To the GOAT.
Thank You.
