I primarily use antennapod but tried abs out of curiousity. How did you get around the queue issue? I found it to be a dealbreaker

I read the article but I’m still confused as to why anyone would want to smuggle ants.

When I bought my B650 Lightning, Wendell from Level1Techs recommendations over the years played a big part. I haven’t found a single thing to complain about.

“Mindfactory’s sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively.”

Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.
