I was building them about every 18mo to 2yrs and then stopped noticing any good reason to built my C2D in 2006 upgraded to an i5 6600K when I needed the C2D for a server in 2015 and finally built my current 7950X3D in 2023 so I could use the 6600K as a HTPC/couch gaming rig. I'll be good for a while now. I guess I'll start thinking about it in 2030.

Core2Duo?

I hope that’s not still in service.

At the moment it's in a box, but still functional last I checked. Did pretty well for itself, especially since I had it overclocked most of its life.
