This is my previous post

I saw a lot of people recommending to buy used CPU and other components and to my surprise I saw a lot of CPUs on eBay which are worth 4000$ are sold for 30$? is this too good to be true? or are these heavily damaged and they do not work?

Even if it was worth 600$ and I can get it for 40$ that's a big win I believe, can you guys share your experience and do you think I can find parts that fit my needs? thank you

  • Thank you for sharing this mate, if I understand correctly this is the specs of the link you sent?

    scroll a little bit down
    https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-7702p

    it says here:
    64 cores of 128 Threads
    and a lot of other things, but it is really 64 cores?? only for 1400$? if it this is crazy good i guess?

  • I need to build a server to my my virtual machines to, I run a lot of VMs which they use a lot of CPU and memory, for some heavy machine learning sometimes my pc gets slow down and i want to solve this issue by building a home server, not sure if you guys think this is a good idea or no

    \- My virtual machines run python selenium codes using multi threading, I heard this info is important as there are a lot of CPUs which are made for this, I am not sure which ones

    \- I need at least 30-50 CPU cores and 64gb-128gb memory

    Is this achievable with a budget of 2000$?

    Some other questions I had in mind, such a server is going to be noisy? if I placed in it another room is it possible to control it remotly without cables?

    If I missed any info please point them out I would love to add more details, thank you
