Runs at 3.2ghz before overclocking on just 1 to 4 cores/8 threads, on its built in throttling thingy.

Motherboards are not cheap.


That should keep all you thread / core junkies happy!

56 threads, and the board takes the fastest M.2 drives.

Also, open an admin level dos box, and type Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup or copy/paste it. Delete a mountain of unwanted crap from the winsxs folder. Can take hours to complete on some machines. Be patient. Same many gb.

Processors aren't cheap either

You can get dual boards too.

Quicker than my Athlon64

Should be.

A dual CPU board, 600 to 850. Add 128gb fast ram, thats 1600.
A pair of CPUs for it 9k eack, so 19,600 pounds. Or 28k dollars. And you dont have a case, a cooler, a hard disk, a graphics card, or monitor, any cables, a mouse, or a keyboard, or a power supply. So add about 1 to 3K depending on options. So 22K full system? Thats not cheap.
