The only positive in all this is that I can look forward to slightly increased performance sometime in the near future. What a shitshow, between melting GPU connectors and CPUs roasting itself and the MOBO to death, and a slew of games launching in record-breaking poor form on PC, I chose the perfect time for a new rig! |
Yea buying a new PC this generation has been a pretty horrid experience for me. Paid $2500 CAD for my 4090 Strix only to stress for a month as to whether or not it will melt. Then paid $1600 for my AM5 platform only to stress over whether or not the CPU or Motherboard will melt or if the new BIOS updates will cuck the performance. I remember the days buying PC hardware wasn't such a minefield. If I didn't sell my 5950X to my friend so soon, I would have returned my AM5 upgrade but alas, I should have waited. I was like well it's been a month since the 7950X3D/7900X3D launched and 6 months since AM5 launched, what could possibly go wrong?
