A few more impressions from building my new PC.
This was my 7th build. 4 of them gaming PCs.
I still hate building more than ever.
Building it took about 24h including many breaks to procrastinate. The rest was mostly research for various things.
I actually did not make a single mistake causing me to backtrack any steps. That might be a first.
No hardware or software issues leading to troubleshooting either.
I don't think watercooling is worth it. It adds so much complexity for very little benefit, while adding additional risks.
The migration from my old rig to the new was incredibly seamless, proving once again how ingenious I am for separating my gaming PC from everything else.
It took less than an hour to get from the first boot into bios to start playing Rocket League including install of all programs and drivers and download of games.
Rocket League is not running faster with the new CPU, though there is much more headroom now and background processes won't lead to temporary stutter anymore.
Now where the fuck is my GPU?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
