HP Prodesk 400 G5 SFF boxes are great. i5-8500 6-core CPU. Undervolted stable to 100mV via Throttlestop on Windows 10 21H1. 100mV is quite stable, 120mV if you don't mind performing adjustments as you see which eventually crash, should be a small percentage. Stack them 10 high, 60 3.8GHZ cores! Cheap on eBay when schools and businesses are dumping them. One can make quite a CPU farm with stacks of these..
Dell OPtiplex SFFs are good too as well as other Prodesk iterations with an i5-8400 or i5-8500 however only the 400 G5 I can guarantee being able to downgrade the BIOS successfully in order to unlock Undervolt.

I have PMed you, but I will also respond in this forum. Thanks for the kind words and I congratulate and thank you for using your own funds to support your professional responsibilities. I am sure that your students benefited from your generosity. Indeed, that is a major reason why I do it!
