Selling my 3950x rig, considering finally building a hobby farm. In the past microcenter had great deals on ryzen 3600/mobo combos and am4 mobos for 3900x's were cheap, but now the bundles are replaced with less efficient 5600x's and am4 mobos are more expensive than the past. Are 3900x rigs still the value king? are the newer budget intel cpus any good? Curious to hear what people think.

Arnt epycs like close to 1k each for 50kh/s at best? even on dual socket that'll be beat in value by a consumer 3900/3900x rig. 2 year roi without electricity, and you keep the parts. not too bad for a hobby.
