Me too until about 5 months ago. It's been a great CPU. I'm still using the same machine I bought in 2011 as my workstation, and in 2011 the 3930k was like jumping into the future with its 6-cores. It was definitely worth the cost considering how long it's been useful. I retired the 3930k CPU 5 months ago when I decided to upgrade the machine to the fastest possible CPU that would go into the socket-2011 motherboard. I found a Xeon E5-2697v2 CPU on eBay for about $40 (currently $30 with free shipping). So it took me from the 6-core/12-thread 3930k up to 12-core/24-threads. It's the final upgrade for this machine, there's really nowhere else for it to go. Maxed out 64GB RAM, RAID10 8-drive array, decent modern video card. I tried to get a TPM module but the BIOS didn't recognize it so it won't install Windows 11 unfortunately, I tried the workarounds but no go. I don't really need a new modern workstation, but when this system dies (if it dies, it's been a reliable workhorse), I'll get the fastest machine possible at the time and keep that for at least 10 or 15 years.
