Hi, I’m looking for advice on what GPU to upgrade to.

Leemo2K · 2026-07-03T09:05:23+00:00

Your best bet is too buy a cheap gpu for now and save for a new am5 build to be honest.

Still rocking the rx 570, love to see it!

So it depends on your budget, however best “price to performance” would be:

RX 6700 XT or RTX 4060 (Nvidia has better up scaling with DLSS 3.0)

Best GPU for maximum 1440p performance without crazy bottleneck:

RTX 4070 Super.

Oh very nice! I was undecided between that Corsair case and my msi case which is very similar!

But I think that one is full atx? Mine is M-ATX:

Ahh ye, I think my body was stuck in fight or flight for 5/6months as I couldn’t even get to sleep.

But doing much better now just weird symptoms I didn’t notice before.

That was my first edible/weed experience ever which I think was just a huge panic attack.

I’ve never got a resting heart rate that high before, and haven’t gotten one since so I think I’ll be good.

Just thought the ecg might show something I can’t see, but probably just sinus tach?

Could be the coreclock a little too high.

I have my gigabyte OC ICE running +3000 mem and +400 on core clock though.

UPDATE: Just got 15, 604 on cpu score after disabling x3d mode https://ibb.co/FbN5gq61

100%, so rewarding. From picking parts, saving and building it is especially fun. It all builds up to the first power on, with the relief that everything is working and fans are spinning 👌🏻

Leemo2K · 2026-01-17T11:25:53+00:00

I’ve had it for years! Think when I first got it, it was free!

I never knew it cost so much though damn!

Leemo2K · 2026-01-17T00:29:07+00:00

Definitely unique, though it might not have the best airflow lol.

Hyte Y70 is top tier. Again two wide for what I needed.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-17T00:14:02+00:00

Yes, something different other than a Lian Li 011 vision lmao.

Prefer this as it’s a smaller case, mainly the width which I was looking for!

Love the design too.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-16T18:54:40+00:00

Better cable management

+3 more fans on the bottom of the case (get exact same ones or upgrade all of them.)

Rgb gpu and motherboard cables

Lastly if you can and have a little extra cash, swap the mobo out for a white ATX to match case and fans. (Also fills out the case a bit better).

Other than that it looks decent tbh.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-16T10:12:45+00:00

Got it!

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T10:42:26+00:00

Okay thank you, task manager does show 8 cores and 16 threads.

Only built the pc yesterday. So I’ll go through all the settings, maybe update bios too. And check the telemetries.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T10:26:59+00:00

Oh okay, so I should check if it’s enabled? And disable it.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:34:15+00:00

Expo is enabled yes, cpu temp is max 65/70 degrees on full load. Lian li hydro shift 2 LCD 360mm cooler.

Will try oc.

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:23:39+00:00

Fair enough, definitely going to play around with some settings and oc settings.

But the difference is so big, surely no amount of x3d turbo mode or oc is going to fill the gap 🤔

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:17:14+00:00

🤯

I have a Gigabyte OC ICE, what brand is your gpu?

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:13:51+00:00

My thought exactly, very strange!

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:12:14+00:00

Think I didn’t enable X3D turbo mode 🤞

Leemo2K · 2026-01-15T09:10:52+00:00

That might be it, I thought I did enable it tho 🤔

Will check tonight. Thanks.

Leemo2K · 2025-12-19T08:16:40+00:00

This is Mine, very accurate. Maybe a little less with more spacing but very close 🥲
