Update on the new server! (And some more)

Hey everyone,

I'll start off with a welcome!
Welcome to all the new Patreon's we've gotten over the last week after the article on TorrentFreak. Due to them our monthly co-location costs are now fully covered!

Additionally, we received a total of 0.06287849 Bitcoin (Worth about €3000) in the last couple of days from various addresses, thanks to them the new server hardware is also paid for!

Any surplus in donations will be kept apart and will be used for future OpenTrackr related costs. In Q1 2022 I will release the financial report (excel sheet with balances and transactions) over 2021 for transparency.

As for the server, I've finished building it today! Alright... almost, with the exception of the Network card. The Network card is having some delays in transit but I expect it to come in next week at best. 

(A picture I snapped a few hours ago, mind the bad lighting)

The final setup is looking as follows:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 3900
- CPU Cooler: Arctic Alpine AM4 Passive
- Mobo: Asrock Rack X470D4U
- RAM: 2x DDR4 16GB G.Skill Trident Z F4-3200C14D, clocked at 3333Mhz, CL14-14-14-30, 1.38V
- Storage: Transcend 110S 128GB NVMe
- PSU: Seasonic Focus PX-550 (550W, 80 Plus Platinum)
- Case: Inter-Tech 2129-N
- NIC: Broadcom BCM57810S with 10Gbps Fiber SR SPF+ Module

I plan on doing a 24 hour long prime95 (800k-4M FFT size) test to make sure the system is stable. I'm mostly worried about the memory getting too hot as it's against the CPU cooler and want to make sure we're not going to run into issues in production.

The CPU temperature on a 30 min full load (90W, which is the hard upper limit of the CPU) test at room temperature is about 86 celsius (187F). This does not fully satisfy me and I may upgrade the fans to stronger ones, preferably it would be able to keep the CPU below 75 celsius (167F) to be able to withstand a higher ambient temperature. The massive cooling block allows for it, it just needs some air going!

If anyone has any questions about why I picked the parts I did, feel free to let me know in the comments!
