| Captain_Yuri said: Probably. The 3 things I hate upgrading are motherboards, power supplies and cases. There's so many components you need to deal with that it's very time consuming so I certainly liked the idea of only needing to upgrade the CPU. It basically became similar to upgrading the GPU in many ways since removing the cooler and putting a new CPU in place takes like 5 minutes (including getting into the case and such) where as doing the rest can take hours. |
I feel like that's been the irksome part about upgrading desktops, especially for me, because I still need to work on my cable management. There's nothing more annoying than having to take out the mobo, all the other parts and then cables, then having to connect everything back together with a new mobo correctly, then finding out I didn't connect everything proper (this is why I don't bother with cable management until everything works as intended).
Putting in a new CPU is the part I get shaky about though, the pins bending is nightmare fuel to me, but it is pretty much like swapping in a new GPU. The easiest parts for me to replace have to be the GPU, RAM, drives and fans (fans are probably my fave part, because their cable management is easy.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
