The memory controller is faster on Intel, no doubt.

AM5 still has its problems.

That RAM should be fine for either. It's the 6k plus that sucks for AMD.

I'm waiting for that OLED shite to get cheaper.

My 5 y/o IPS VRR monitor is still doing fine.

Knocks on wood. Please don't die on me, boo.

I’m waiting on a bit of an endgame monitor for me, that I’m not sure I’ll need to “upgrade” as much as just replace when it stop working:

- 5k2k (4k UW)
- 144hz ish
- Full true HDR
- Likely OLED
- 34” ish
- VRR

I’m anticipating moving to that in the next 4-5 years. After that, the visual jump from 4k to 8k on a monitor is just so negligible that I don’t see myself being willing to sacrifice the fps.

That’s a weird failure pattern. Could be the monitor, but I would swap cables and ports first.

I've used hdmi and dp unfortunately Samsung's are quite known for this after typically 4 years or so and it's almost at year 6 I think. Also swapped gpu's.

Once it warms up after what is now 15 minutes or so it works as normal for the rest of day. Just getting more annoying as it used to just be 5 minutes or so.

From what I've read, it should completely die before long as it progressively gets worse to where it will stay permanently like that.

Nice, same cooler as me.

Ah yeah I was wondering where the GPU was.

I still plan on grabbing a 7900XT. Unless I decide to grab a 4K monitor for my ailing one and then it's the XTX.

In a constant, "are you a human" loop. Can't see what you have.

Not that my opinion would be all that relevant.

I probably would have made some different choices, but that comes down to aesthetics. The one thing I would have done differently is that I would have gone with a 1TB OS drive and then the 2TB drive (or two, if I needed the space). With as fricky as OS are getting, I'm getting to the point that I would rather keep as little as possible on my boot/OS drive. Hell, I would probably do a 500gb instead if the relative value wasn't so awful. But regardless, I want to be able to wipe and reinstall my boot drive with as little pain and annoyance as possible these days, so I just wouldn't have a use for that much space on it. Rather just save the money there and spend it on a third drive.
