12:57:45 well sheeit. Now I'm conflicted... my employer offers a salary sacrifice scheme, so I can buy stuff from a particular retailer and they'll take it out of my pay packet before tax/pension/health etc is deducted, so overall I pay less out in taxes 12:58:18 normally they only have silly things like airfryers, vacuum cleaners and typical home stuff 12:58:46 just found the hidden menu for IT stuff, 7950x for £47 per month (12 months) 13:05:38 Tempting 13:06:56 full build, 7950x, 32gb Vengeance pro 3200mhz, X670 mobo... £87.44 a month for 12 months. 13:11:34 3200 mhz? 7950X uses DDR5, double check what you're getting 13:12:10 7950X is a beast 13:12:33 yup was just checking that... they don't have DDR5 in the list :/ also a poor choice of gpu's 13:12:46 however mobo and chip would make for a heck of a saving overall 13:15:37 Running 7900X here and it is good 13:16:08 worst case you get ram outside of that system 13:16:13 they have that for £38.77 a month :) 13:16:23 Also remember new socket 13:17:05 AM5 ya, mobo isn't the cheapest :) 13:18:00 yup I think if there's a sale on in January I'll be sticking an order in 13:29:49 My old i7-7700K was getting a bit tight for development stuff here so went for beefy amd build 13:30:11 Which means no EPYC server build to replace all I have now for the foreseeable future :( 13:31:00 Power bills on idle stuff now expected to be at 8000-10000 SEK a month for the few servers, and that is with HDDs removed and everything set to power saving
