this isn't a permanent setup
usually this one's ticking away making ai porn, but i set it up for hard drive cloning this go
will probably have problems with windows, since i had to use gpt while the old had mbr

not too shabby
i'd keep that psu
haters gonna hate, but if you were getting okay temps on that stock cooler, no need to change

Old is right. X58 chipset is like 15-16 years old by this point.

it's almost 15
hard to believe it's that old
but can't remember what he had in there, probably an i3 which is going to bottleneck that poor 1070
on a side note, seriously thinking whether to move completely to virtualize my home server, the host 10900T has been exceedingly good
rn it's a 50/50 in terms of the host and vms handling services.

Yeah I didn't fall for the cooler meme and the stock one I got with my Intel processor has never caused me trouble.
SuperChungus

yeah, for most use stock is fine, even for the typical streamer. gpu or cpu.
most people aren't going to push the cpu to where it needs a full delidded, liquid-metal fucking strapped right to the evap coil of a commercial A/C unit, level of overclocking.
as for me, i have to custom cool because,
I want to underclock. so no included cooler.
Get's real hot in the summer.

Uhh.
Underclocked and/or undervolted should be cooler overall.
I run an Intel 10700 undervolted at stock frequencies with passive heatsink on the cpu and only an exhaust fan in the chassis and it never hits thermal throttling thresholds.

yeah i know
i was trying to hint that i bought a k series cpu just to underclock, and k series don't come with stock coolers

Last couple I bought did though, because that is an option.
Tray or boxed with fan SKUs, the latter has always been the cheaper consumer option here despite the part cost logically being higher.
SuperChungus

True
But yeah last time I bought a CPU was a 9700K, which didn't ship with a cooler. Sucked, but that's what I get for buying Intel.
Really want my next build to be AMD, threadripper would be very nice for what I do.

I should have said, it's an i7-920.

My dad's considering buying my pc off of me for around 650, since that's the share I paid for it. I might use that money to upgrade my old rig.
i7-990 Extreme Edition
A proper AIO
Some new DDR3 ram sticks, push it all the way to 48gb
Either that, or I'll just save a bit more of my money and completely refurbish the entire thing.

Lol, yeah no, don't do that.
Save up some more moolah and build yourself an entry level modern rig, and it'll run circles around this ancient clunker.
Bottlenecking yourself with PCIe 2.0 and DDR3 in 2024 is okay if you're constrained to running at less than ten watts in the volume of a cigarette package at a total budget of less than a hundred bucks, but not for a desktop.

Yeah. My original game plan was to save up two grand and build a rig with the following specs
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
32gb ram
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
2TB M.2 for vidya (I like it when my games load fast)
1TB M.2 for the necessary operating systems
1000w psu
Corsair 4000D Airflow
I was going to use cooler master for the aio and fans. I already have a three pack of fans lying around that I can't use because they don't fit in my shitty prebuilt.
