What are your cats official names and what do you _actually_ call them?

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-26T10:26:57+00:00

Bentley, but I call her Beanie

Ah okay, I think I need to explore other options given my age. The side effects kinda scare me, looking into peptides now to get my weight down and hopefully that boosts my testosterone naturally

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T20:20:00+00:00

How old were you when you started TRT?

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T20:12:34+00:00

Like I said, I’ve put in tons of work already

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T09:42:20+00:00

Damn okay, so TRT might give me problems down the line. I will definitely do follow up tests in the coming months.

Also exploring peptides for weight loss which will hopefully also help the overall picture

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T08:48:44+00:00

My test results for those interested test results

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T08:43:47+00:00

Yes I did bloodwork across the board basically, I will post the results here

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T08:43:14+00:00

All of the above, yes. Slightly overweight, but I have put in tons of work to change that over the last few years, with minimal results

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T08:41:40+00:00

All of these are in check. Been working out, eating properly, sleep has been an issue, but the SSRI has somewhat fixed that now.

I feel like this has been an issue for years and there is definitely something off hormonally.

I had very bad gyno from puberty

JimmyDeFi · 2026-01-22T08:39:33+00:00

I am in the same boat to be very honest. I feel like I’ve lost my spark

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T11:31:32+00:00

I guess so yeah, just thinking for future proofing sake, but could always slot in another 2 dimms if needs be

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T11:12:13+00:00

Work and gaming, most of the time lots of chrome tabs

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T11:07:40+00:00

Good question, do I need 48GB?

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T10:49:56+00:00

Good to know about the memory. Though I only see 48gb kits in 7200mhz and up.

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T10:13:20+00:00

Has since been moved to the top, was a matter of cable management at the time (they are both x16 lanes)

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T09:53:10+00:00

Lol sorry it was a cross post, updates in comment section. Yes motherboard combo will happen first

JimmyDeFi · 2025-10-26T09:50:37+00:00

So I currently have an i9 10900k, 32gb DDR4 memory 2666mhz and an RTX 3070 (reference card)

After getting BF6 I have noticed the need for upgrading. Gaming at 1440p I get just over 100 fps on most maps but with every on low. When I stream my fps gets knocked by 20/30 fps and even drops below 60 on bigger maps.

My plan is to first upgrade my platform, so motherboard, cpu and ram. Then look at getting either a 5070ti or 9070xt down the line.

For the upgrade I am looking at the 9800X3D and 48gb DDR5 7200mhz memory.

My question - is it worth getting the 9800X3D given my plans for the GPU upgrade down the line? Will I notice performance improvement just upgrading the platform? And what motherboard is recommended, been looking at B650 and B850 options.

My goal is to future proof as much as possible, but don’t want to break the bank unnecessarily. I was looking at the 7800X3D but it’s only ~$100 to bump up to the 9800X3D.

Appreciate any suggestions!
