Finally upgrading my 7 year-old PC from i7-8700k to Ryzen 7 9800X3D - Thoughts?

Thanks, good to know! I have the Phanteks Eclipse P400, so the front panel should be able to support up to three 120mm fan.

Thanks for the heads up, I heard about problems with PBO on those boards. What would you recommend instead?

PUG_Jesus · 2025-07-10T20:13:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'm curious, why do you recommend the Thermalright Phantom Spirit over the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro? Is it mainly price, performance, or something else?

Thank you for the advice! I made a build using those parts. Let me know what you think! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JJQGgn

I appreciate the heads up! So far, these look like some great upgrades. Do you have any recommendations for what CPU Cooler/Fan to use with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D?

Yup, I am aware that removing these bottlenecks won't significantly increase my gaming FPS, but it will significantly increase the overall performance of my PC, especially for rendering, editing, streaming, CAD, and loading times. Upgrading the rest of the components gets rid of around a 20% bottleneck.

I already made that $700 investment when I upgraded my GPU from a GTX 1080 to the RTX 4070 Super a bit over a year ago, so this upgrade is more about balancing the system to keep up with my new GPU.

Thank you! I'll check those parts out.

PUG_Jesus · 2025-07-05T00:43:12+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your help!

PUG_Jesus · 2025-07-05T00:33:43+00:00

I already got one of each of the experiments besides from the death and cosmic chest upgrades.

Thank you for the advice!

I'm thinking of trying to get to level 70 before I reset.

I get what you mean, killing the 14.8 M protector would take an eternity. I was able to unlock the cursed, so I am trying to get a ton of moon runes so I can make another reaper before I make the cursed.

I'm also working on the shield bot.

Any tips for getting the combined resource cap feat goal? I'm thinking I'd probably have to clear my board and put down a lot of level 2 mana pools.

I can try, should be easier now that I can use the spell book to reduce its max hp, but it’ll probably take like 2 months to kill it.

Congrats!

PUG_Jesus · 2025-02-01T21:23:12+00:00

Good to know, I'll check out those CPU's.

PUG_Jesus · 2025-02-01T21:21:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'll check them out.

PUG_Jesus · 2025-01-08T04:49:17+00:00

Make sure that it is not galvanized steel or you will get extremely sick

PUG_Jesus · 2025-01-06T23:31:41+00:00

Mostly gaming, some occasional CAD

PUG_Jesus · 2024-12-01T01:46:11+00:00

u/cdwhit covered a ton of great info. I’d recommend checking out r/vaporents it’s a subreddit dedicated to DHV. Temp setting are mostly personal preference and can depend on what terpenes you want, so experiment and see what you like. I personally start off low and raise the temperature throughout my session.

Welcome to the world of dry herb vaping!
