@joshman are you in some sort of war with these guys downvoving everyone?
They are blacklisted spammers in some weird MLM group. They think they can earn the right to spam by downvoting innocent people. I don't see how they could ever accomplish that by drawing more attention to themselves.

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.

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.
12 core? You must be doing some heavy lifting with that. The most spec heavy work I do is some video editing in davinci and my I5 + rx470 seems to do the job pretty well.

I'll be running VMWare Workstation, so the more cores and memory I have, the more I can dedicate to running different guest OS's simultaneously. Running a network simulation for example can consume cores and memory rapidly. So rather than have to pick and choose what I can run concurrently, I can run many instances at the same time.
I see. And when does that come in handy? What kind of work would require running multiple OSs?
The base OS is going to be Windows, so right off the bat I'm going to want a Linux instance. There's just too many handy tools that are Linux-based, particularly when it comes to networking. You can also download purpose built OVA files (prebuild operating systems) for penetration testing, and what not. One such image is called Cisco VIRL, which can simulate an entire network on a PC. A decent VIRL setup needs about 32GB or RAM and a few cores by itself. On top of that, I have transient requirements to evaluate various network appliances such as firewalls, which many can be loaded virtually into VMWare.
It's also handy if you want to go to a questionable website that may be infected, or you even want to look at the effect of a virus. I can spin up an encrypted VM, and totally sandbox what I'm doing.
That sounds interesting. Way out of my level of knowledge, but interesting nonetheless .
