You should have bought a squirrel.
He doesn't need to. Squirrels bring offerings to his porch every day.

That can makes me wish that I could drink.I just bought 4 of these tasty fckn things...
I want more thickness
might be the easiest processor upgrade i've ever done. might have been done in under 10 minutes if i'd been speedy about it, including upgrading the bios.prime day worked out good, got the 14TB red with the amex $25 off using points and the 5900X processor using the discover $30 off and the prime day $12.50 promo credit. not going to see that thing for $290 again. also got some cheapass noise cancelling headphones for the office.

this replaced my 1700X in my server running VMs and recodes and stuff.I nearly cut loose for a 5950x myself on Prime day but bottom line is that in games the performance gains would be small to non-existent over my current 5800x especially in lightly threaded titles where it's lower boost-clock speed might actually reduce my frame-rates somewhat.
I more seriously considered the 5800X3D which would significantly increase FPS in MOST games but even that seemed like a stretch for $450 since I game @ 1440p/165hz or 4k/144hz w/DSR and thus am mostly GPU-limited.

my server, once again, has a faster processor than my gaming computer. and this might be the most stark difference yet (3800X). but as you said, i'm probably graphics limited anyway.
i think @zinfamous passed me some time ago. 102 thousand but i hit 70k back in 2008 so only 32k in the last ~14 years.In THAT case this upgrade must feel like engaging warp-drive!
As for the 3800x, remember Zen 3 was actually a huge upgrade over 2 in gaming performance but not nearly as much for productivity stuff. (a 5600 non-X will outperform even the 3900x/3950x in most AAA game titles)
I very likely would have thrown the 3800x in the server instead myself and gone with a 5800X3D for the gaming rig.
EDIT: I just noticed that you have nearly 102 THOUSAND posts ?!?
Do you ever sleep ?!? (and that HAS to be the current #1 no?)
I'll probably do a couple of updates on this.Maor pixxxxx. I got your back fam.

They make "large" and small cylinders of ice. The small ones are the same profile but are different densities. The S size probably make aircicles whereas the L size is solid.

I've always been a little curious about ice makers

So much for fighting that temptation...$1433 in parts and related tools later......It's older and needed a few small parts, but the bike itself was only $20 from my neighbor. Now I just have to fight the temptation to upgrade things that don't really need replacing, heh.
