Not Bad for a 2017-2018 era desktop being used in 2024.
Things that have changed in this period
- GPU – Zotac RTX 4070 12GB – in 2023
- SSD – WD Black 1 TB – in 2022
- SMPS – Corsair 650X CX series gave up. Got a new Antek 750w Modular in 2024
- Logitech MX Keyboard
- Lost count of the number of Mice.
Where I am feeling a bottleneck now –
- Motherboard PCI Express Speeds – holding back the SSD
- CPU – Only 6 core / 12 threads, Non-overclocking
Good side – The system runs cool and is not a power hog
