    A second m.2 for trying out the switch to Linux. It went well, primary boot now.

    Last week from a Ryzen 3700x to a 7800x3d, so new mobo, cooler and ram as well. The 3700x was a bottleneck in some games for my GPU. Performs well now.

    My niece will upgrade from an old 7 series Intel to my old 3700x, x570 chipset mobo, Deepcool double fan CPU cooler and 32 GB ram. I will give her my old GTX1080 as well. Whole system perfectly fine for WOW classic.

    The Mobile Athlon CPU, with unlocked multipliers I was able to overclock like crazy. It was something like 20 years ago.

    Seriously, replaced a 2x6Tb raid1 of mechanical hdd’s with 4x4tb raid 5 SSDs. Amazing update in terms of noise reduction and power consumption. As for speed, I don’t care, the content is consumed over the network anyway.

    This probably shouldn’t count, but I diagnosed and removed a bad stick of RAM. It works much better now. Since I was running on 32Gb, I haven’t really noticed the drop to 16. I’d been blaming system instability on not knowing how to properly maintain Linux and shit drivers. Turns out

    Prior to that was when I bought a 2TB SSD.

    My rig is close to 20 years old and I recently upgraded the motherboard, CPU and RAM which were the last original parts on it - the GPU I had replaced few years prior. Now the case is the only original part on my “PC of Thesus”

    EDIT: Oh yeah and I’m also running Linux now.

    Wooting 80he keeb

    Before that:

    4080 on runout.

    Year before that I did mobo+7800x3d, 64gb ddr5, 4tb nvme for games.

    Oh and C4 OLED + dual 27" 1920*1200 portrait wings.

    I think I’m not touching it for a long time the way things are going

    It’s been a while. I usually leapfrog upgrade, but I did it all last time: i5-10600k, 3060Ti, an m.2 SSD. Was amazed at the size of the SSD.

    I overclocked the CPU and it’s held up way better than I had expected, but as raytracing stops being optional more and more, I don’t know how much time my GPU has left.
