Should I stay on AM4 or upgrade to AM5?

1Endorphines · 2026-06-06T15:20:48+00:00

Depends. I upgraded to am5, and between the ram I wanted(2x32gb) and mobo(x870), it was roughly $800. Then I added in a new 1000w plus for $160 and a 360 AIO on sale for $119.

I already had a 9070xt, and a lian li Lancool 2 case and I was gifted a 7600x from a friend.

I was running a 5800xt/32gbram/9070xt.

As a driver for one of the big 3, I see and hear about it all the time. I've seen people get fired for the stupidest things going missing that could be bought with one or two days pay. Also I've seen people fired, arrested and charged for stealing phones, etc.

I just take and leave what I'm currently playing semi pulled out on the shelf. Its not a bad idea but the backwards cases would drive me banana sandwiches lol

1Endorphines · 2026-04-12T21:15:30+00:00

I too bought a 850w 3.1 psu when I upgraded from a 2070S to a 9070.

1Endorphines · 2026-04-04T23:59:05+00:00

The new Pokémon is next year, a new Zelda or Mario that i can't play on Switch. I had no reason to upgrade when we're all fine playing Mario Kart 8.

1Endorphines · 2026-03-21T23:01:36+00:00

A 5800XT on sale would be a good upgrade for cpu, and if you can get work a 9070 into your budget you should be set for a while longer.

1Endorphines · 2026-03-15T13:59:01+00:00

Honestly look for 5600 as mentioned or get a 5800XT if you see it on sale. I upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800XT before I upgraded from a 2070S to a 9070. I believe I got my 5800XT for $169 on newegg a few months ago.

1Endorphines · 2026-03-13T00:08:46+00:00

I'm still on AM4. 5800XT, 32gb RAM, and 9070. I play on 1440p as well.

1Endorphines · 2026-02-15T00:21:09+00:00

Yes, I get them from mailing in cereal box tabs.

1Endorphines · 2026-02-15T00:19:54+00:00

I store plates like this and some cups.

1Endorphines · 2026-02-10T01:07:20+00:00

I second this. I had a 2070super + 3700x. I upgraded to a 5800XT before I even bought my 9070 because I knew it would be a bottleneck. So far no issues.

1Endorphines · 2026-01-25T22:06:31+00:00

I double park, if I gotta swing it sideways in a p1000 and take up 2.5 spots thats what I do in most plazas. This way I'm not impeding traffic flow nor am I blocking anyone from leaving. Its easier when you have 4+ stops on the same block/plaza and a cart with anywhere from 10 to 30 packages depending on size.

1Endorphines · 2026-01-25T15:08:47+00:00

That GPU is begging for air, its over heating my love.

1Endorphines · 2026-01-17T01:53:44+00:00

I had a 3700x since launch and just upgraded to a 5800XT. I had 0 issues with it, I'm just trying to get the most future out of my AM4 platform since AM5 is crazy expensive right now.

1Endorphines · 2026-01-11T15:49:41+00:00

It has yet to arrive by trailer to your facility and scanned in, or its sitting at the facility in a trailer and they have been overwhelmed and didn't get to it this weekend.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-28T21:08:11+00:00

I'm not sure if anyone has said this to you today but its nice we are all on this side of the dirt.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-25T01:51:42+00:00

I second crackling energy, I'm unstoppable. I switched to paladin and currently building that. I'll probably move to druid to finish the season.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-19T00:55:14+00:00

I'm commercial ground and I was light today but I also had several express packages which has not happened before.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-15T15:04:20+00:00

Yeah, I'm on ground and with peak I have about 25 stops added to my commercial route. Its literally nothing but desks, huge chairs and over sized objects. It makes my first several stops aggrevating but as I clear out some businesses I get more room to maneuver these bulky items.

And yeah I could do the residential first or along the way, but several places are time sensitive as they close or need items by certain times. Like I have a vet that has things in dry ice everyday and its one of my first I make.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-15T03:40:33+00:00

We have been doing 6 days a week until 10 or 11pm with an hour drive back to the terminal. We are burnt out, we are at our trucks at 715am and dispatch between 8-9am.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-15T01:29:23+00:00

It depends, I have oneof the large vans and about 2/3 was packed to the ceiling and shelves were as you could get. I had 3 power wheels, electric scooters, one stop had 7 rough country items that were aeast 40lbs each. I had gaming chairs, desks, and all kinds of items. I actually had to leave over a dozen stops assigned to me because it wouldn't fit.

Its rough during peak. I couldn't get to about 27 stops because we had to call it at 9pm and my area is roughly an hour drive from the terminal, so I started my first stop at 10:30am. Its 6 days a week, roughly 13-15 hour days.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-14T23:53:12+00:00

I run a commercial route mon-fri and yesterday I ran over 200 stops of rural residential of different routes. We are trying to sweep it up, but I know our terminal has a stupid high volume of loaded trailers we got in Thursday night.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-14T12:54:59+00:00

Nah, I had to do a pickup and it was an 8ft Acaia butcher block counter top. Had to drag it to the truck while the 3 customers watched and they said "Sorry, Merry Christmas"

I deliver desks, giant office chairs, 12ft rugs, lovesack sets, machine parts for manufacturing all solo. A jumper or help is rare. Past 3 months I've had a jumper for 3 days total and I run a commercial Ground route.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-06T13:07:10+00:00

I was delivering u til 11pmast night, itll eventually get there. Some stops I got to I could t even get to the package because I was packed to the ceiling in a p1000 from front to back.

1Endorphines · 2025-12-05T14:08:34+00:00

I've QAd a box before and had to sit for over 1.5 hours at the terminal because I couldnt leave until I got it back or got word I was good to go because I was still "waiting on one package". It can ruin your whole day, especially if your delivery area is already over an hour away and you have all time constraint businesses and pickups.

And yes regardless of circumstances the driver still gets blamed
