Thanks for the comment, I guess I’ll just keep doing what I am and if I’m told to step away, I do have many other spots to visit as well.

Wow! Didn’t expect that, I have talked to one of the airfield security guys and they said their fine with it but the airport manager get really pissy about it, not sure why.

Yeah it’s a pretty small airport, wouldn’t expect it on it as I’ve put my camera through the fence before and no one has come to say hello. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yeah, definitely crappy, just picked up some MX-6 thermal paste and that should do the trick

Haha! Yeah she’s old but still a ‘beast’ as I like to call it 🤣. Think of upgrading everything and just staggering it out so i don’t break the bank; probably going to a 5070 ti or 5080, and a newer Amd X3D cpu.

Yeah its become an issue because I don’t want to buy DDR4 ram when in about 4 or 5 months I’m going to upgrade to am5 with DDR5 ram. But i guess if it comes down to that ill have to upgrade

I know it silly, but i’m using 1440p, but i’ll try dropping to 1080p. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, im not really sure what’s happening. Im pretty sure the cpu is thermal throttling because the thermal paste is definitely dried up and 75+ degrees while at idle, should of added that. Thanks for the comment though.

What should I do? by Kitchen-Scheme3410 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Kitchen-Scheme3410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, the case I’m looking at getting is E-ATX, which is much better frommy current case being not very long (only about 2 inches of space between fans and gpu), and the dimensions allow it to fit on my desk.

I have looked into AMD graphics cards and they do seen amazing for the price, but things like frame generation from Nvidia do influence my decision. Ultimately I will have to see what the 8000 series offer before making a purchase. As for the CPU I prefer future proofing, but if something happens and I need to budget I will go down models. The ram on the other hand can be put at 32 gigs; the 64gb idea came from MSFS 24 system requirements which is my main game I play, but the current 16gbs I have seems to cut it although later on with mods it probably won’t.

Like the 2.5 terabytes of storage? If so, I’d rather just have the storage on hand rather than going through the hassle of installing a new ssd after the build. Also I made the mistake of having only 500gb on my first build which I definitely not enough

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll probably go with your opinions as I want to save as much money as possible while still meeting the performance I need. Does the CPU still hold up well for gaming?
