So the 4670k can't handle the 2070. In PUBG CPU usage is 90+% and GPU usage is around 40%.

No was talking to Brice. I thought he was updating his CPU?

I'm buying a 3800X, maybe now. I've been wanting to for weeks. Couldn't decide on a MOBO and chipset block combo I liked. Will most likely order today.

Edt: I think upgrading CPUs to be dumb but my 6850K is dieing. Pumping 1.484V into it for 3yrs isn't healthy. Plus Windows issued a botched microcode update for the X99 chipset a year ago which still is not fixed.

Edt2: I might want to game. This wondering is pumping life into me.

But will most likely take my Adderall and spend more time in a terminal noobing my way around with different projects.

Yeah, only way to hit 4.5

Remember my cooling system is legit, barely ever gets into mid 40s. But all that voltage isn't good even if it stays cool.

That amount of voltage rips the very fabric of space time.

Yea, no reason to upgrade.

I usually stay on cpu gens for 3-5yrs.

Edt: Hard tubing isn't fun. Keeps me on gens even longer probably.

Since getting my Pixel 3 off the network and solely using an S10, my quieres per 24hrs dropped by roughly 2,000 and percent blocked decreased by nearly 20%.

Insane how "noisy" Google devices are in a network. They are always phoning home. The other device which is noisy and can't seem to shut up is a Roku TV we have in one of the rooms.

Yeah, I'm going to get the 3700x unless I decide to get frisky and get the 3900x.

Very interesting about the inquiries from Google. Probably sending all that data to their Chinese overlords. I had a nexus 5 and 6p and my wife still has her 5x, but I probably won't go back to a Google branded device unless there's a good deal on swappa. I bought an unlocked Moto g7 Power a few months ago and it's awesome for my purposes.

Yeah the 3800X seems like a waste for just 200MHz more OC headroom in the best case scenario, at about $70 more.
