Cooler didn’t arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I’d have stayed up all night. 😆
As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I’m going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.
My PCmas also arrived because my 10yo mobo finally died! I’m loving the new CPU and RAM, got the best Ryzen 9 since it was on sale early and only 30 bucks over the best 7. I forgot what it’s like to have everything stable for once and USB-C support. Mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU, and a case-- it’s like a dream. (But same, no Nvidia GPU for now).
Which Ryzen 7 is that?
9800x3d
Yes, that one is what I got. Those x3d chips seem good for gaming. I used to only use Intel, but they really dropped the ball. (AMD is also more Linux friendly, but Nvidia is still making better gpus…)
