On May 15th, 2019 (more than three years ago), I performed a performance boost to my media server by upgrading its CPU, Motherboard, and Memory. You can read that experience in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am going to be doing the same. It looks like we are on a cadence of every 3 years or so to do a spec bump. This time around we are also changing the same items, but will include the power supply as well in the swap. I also decided to swap the boot drive hardware from an old SSD drive to an NVME drive. All of this resulted in the following hardware acquisitions, all from Amazon, which I find them to have lower pricing (when factoring free shipping through Prime), than Newegg even during Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
