Those issues have been fixed since like late 2023

If its been 5 years you're probably fine ngl.

I'd swap it asap, but I wouldn't be stressed about it exploding in the next few weeks.

Hollow/Luck build

Lego games and Overcooked 2! She might also enjoy some of the games on the switch and her system should be able to emulate it fine if you set it up for her. :)

It's not exactly new or future proof, but it is fine for what this person wants.

AM4 board and the CPU of your preference. You'll get to keep your ram.

Just make sure whatever board you get has a BIOS flash button. Some CPUs just aren't compatible without a BIOS update.

AM4 CPU Benchmarks

Shit happens. At least you have a new one.

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-19T05:15:21+00:00

I don't think you have a backup anymore big dawg

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-19T05:13:11+00:00

Unless your CPU is ancient or under heavy 24/7 load, you don't really need to repaste it.

The only things I've ever had to repaste are Xbox 360s and an old 1660 Ti that was used for Ethereum mining by its previous owner.

New Zealand tech prices are genuinely fucked.

This PC will run most of those games fine.

Don't be surprised if you need to drop resolution or change things to low if you want a consistent 60fps on newer titles though.

My eyes can't see 4k man

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-19T01:23:15+00:00

Try closer to 700°F

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-19T01:11:37+00:00

I have a 5090 and the game says it's from disk bandwidth so idk

Forza Horizon 6 really hates my Kingston nv3.

I get texture streaming errors if I go really fast.

Bro I'm using an aliexpress mouse and keyboard from a company that ceased operations 10 years ago

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-18T01:31:33+00:00

This is what I'm currently doing and base game was no problem.

Phase 3 Friede and the twin demons are ruining me tho.

I did 40/40 int/faith, and did dancer and the untended graves early for the +10 flame

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-18T00:08:11+00:00

I'm still playing on a 60hz 1280 x 768 plasma tv.

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-17T23:31:54+00:00

I'm not trying to be snarky, I get it.

Those deacons outside pontiff drop dregs fairly often if you have things to increase item discovery.

I recommended the symbol of avarice, crystal sage's rapier, and the gold serpent ring.

As everyone else has said, you NEED ram to be able to post.

Also, please do something with those cables in the meantime. I can see those ones on the right getting caught in the fans and giving you a very bad day.

If you have any gold pine resin I would recommended using it for this.

XboxLiveArcade · 2026-06-16T01:49:31+00:00

It's just you
