I have a home server with 32GB of RAM that's been up 24/7. I've been running Debian testing on it. I started with Ryzen 1700, then upgraded to Ryzen 2700. It's been running a dozen of VMs with Windows and Linux. Linux VMs run services like Samba, Kubernetes, Postgres and photo sharing albums inside. Windows VMs are used to run photo editing software, so it's not idle at all. I also compile Golang projects on that box frequently. The current uptime of the entire thing is 92 days since last reboot, which was intentional (new kernel). So... quite stable. But when I bought it a couple of years ago, I experienced some lock-ups, about once a month, especially when the CPU was idle. I replaced the "gamer" motherboard with [1] and the problems disappeared. I think a lot, but possibly not all, of problems you see online are caused by gaming community itself. For whatever reason, that culture/market is plagued by premature/buggy product launches (motherboard+UEFI) and oftentimes CPU has nothing to do with user issues.
