Got myself AMD FX-8350 a decade ago, used it daily with minor overclocking and replaced with Ryzen 3950X last year. This old FX-8350 went into dedicated Linux machine for things I weren’t able to do with virtual one. I am curious how long will it run:-)

Those FX series had a really bad reputation at the time, but it seems the extra cores have helped them age better than might have been expected. My old FX 6300 is also in a Linux box now hosting a Jellyfin server and it does quite well!

Ha, I was just about to mention the FX-6300 I have running in a server that hosts 3 Minecraft instances. It's not the fastest thing ever but it gets the job done. I was going to replace it when it got too slow, but that hasn't happened yet.
