Btw, there is a 2x16GB (32GB kit) of Crucial Ballistix Sport (white/grey) of DDR4-2667 1.2V for $109.99 right now @ Newegg. A couple of sets of those for a four-DIMM Ryzen / AM4 board, would really hit the spot for WCG, I think. Plus, it's only 1.2V memory. So it runs cool at stock (has heatspreaders), and has overclocking headroom. (Probably Micron E-die? Could maybe hit DDR4-3600 CAS16 @ 1.35-1.40V with Zen2 CPUs?)
If I have the money next month, I'm getting four of those kits (if they're still $20 off like today), and getting a new-production Ryzen R5 3600. (Were $165 recently @ Newegg, and the newest batches have been hitting crazy overclocks compared to my earlier-release batch. Like 4.4-4.5Ghz all-core, at under 1.30Vcore. VERY tempting.)
That would give me two rigs, then, with Ryzen R5 3600 CPUs, and both with 64GB of DDR4-2667 (probably tweaked to at least 3200, if not pushed to 3600 if I can.)
Then it will be WCG, full steam ahead!
Oh yeah, I signed up for the COVID-19 project on WCG, and fired up BOINC (new version available, and it's signed!) on my existing Ryzen R5 3600.
Maybe someday I'll get a 3900X(T), like @mopardude87 .
