Upgraded from 5700XT to 6700XT and changed my PC case from a prebuilt Cyberpower to the Meshify 2 RGB. Looks so sharp in person.
Next to upgrade is from 3700X to 5800X3D and 3600 32GB RAM.

Their hardware is low quality in my experience. I got one of the original Fire tablets, it ran like garbage. I can only hope things have improved in the last 6 or so years. They aren't terrible for the price, but you get what you pay for.

I'm watching Ep.12 of Andor and at the 11:50 mark some breh is slinging CPU heatsinks for some reason.

Running into an issue when playing Modern Warfare 2. I’ll be playing and the game will suddenly become a slideshow. It’s only happened about 2 or 3 times.

My troubleshooting skills are terrible, but I think it might be the aio pump messing up.

Ended up wiping my drive the other day because there’s version of Afterburner with a crypto miner malware. I don’t think I was infected, but I don’t like to take any chances.

So, the 4090 is ridiculously wide. It just barely fits in my full-size case with the waterblock. It's so close that I'm considering going with a vertical mount for the gpu due to this. Ridiculous...

I live vicariously through your PC woes.

How you liking that 6700XT compared to the 5700XT which is what I have as well. Is it worth the upgrade?
