Other news
Its been warm so the farm is running work overnight when its cool enough.

When starting up 24 Rosetta tasks that there is quite a delay before they get going. I believe this is an I/O bottleneck because if I stagger the start up there isn't any delay. I have been looking at the Sabrent Rocket 4 NVMe SSD to replace the existing gen 3 SSD's in them.

I am looking at getting Ryzen 5900X to replace the 3900X CPU's when they become available on the 5th of November. I'm not sure if I will be able to get two of them as I expect they'll be very hard to come by straight after launch. I should be able to swap out the CPU and keep everything else in the machines as is.
