PC Upgrade NOW or WAIT? - Tech Deals

[@moonboimods]

I hope you guys are ok! I really wish you could make a video telling us where you went and what happened. I genuinely am worried about you guys and hope you are all well. I watched you guys since like 2016 and i really appreciate all the hard work and time you put into your videos. I learned so much from you and really miss watching you guys live. Please let us know, also over on reddit alot of people are worried about you guys too on the pcmr subreddit. thanks for the many years of unique and informative content.

@@moonboimods I wonder what’s going on. All their tweets are deleted too.

[@AceVenturaXii]

Im sure they're fine. Just because they dont make videos for KZbin doesnt mean something is wrong. Maybe something is finally right for them and it doesnt involve making videos. I thought they blocked me on Twitter since I wasnt seeing their Tweets any longer, I asked him about it and he responded saying Nope they were just stepping back from Twitter. Im sure they're ok, though I would like to know what changed for them to quit KZbin and Twitter.

Getting back into IT stuff having to renew certifications and wanted to check on your channel only to find out that you have left for greener pastures. Hope all is well and I would love a one off unscripted here’s how we’re doing video. Weird to take down the live streams, which I’m sure others would want to go back and rewatch too with some great concepts that could be generalized to newer hardware. Thank you for what you have contributed to the Tech community, good luck and stay safe.

[@wertigon]

Hey Tech Deals! Looks like you guys are taking a well deserved break from KZbin, hopefully not permanent. It's ok, life happens sometimes, we all need to sit down and smell the roses. I would like an update to the channel, but stay healthy, stay safe, and keep the fun going! Maybe this is just a big summer break. :) Song of the day: My Monkey from Jonathan Coulton

@@ChosenOneDan how did he kill it? What did his community want, and what did he do instead?

[@SyncF]

@@jonahcalahasen2249 The other person removed their comment, but truth be told, TechDeals did EVERYTHING to avoid killing the channel, in fact he tried very hard, I suspect he left because it was too much money invested VS returns, which would make sense looking at views alone, sadly KZbin is too competitive nowadays. The new ppl coming with tech channels are on a different level of production value, which, for him probably wasn't worth it. Whatever the other guy said, he's not only wrong, but downright ill willed lol. TD did absolutely everything in his power to keep the channel alive, I wish it had worked. New content type, new thumbnails, they tried repositioning, they tried podcasts, but sadly when you shift so much most audience just leaves. But I wish we'd have known why at least... Liked his videos and thought the family type deal was wholesome.

sometimes it can be hard to decide, but in the meantime, you can always upgrade your thermal paste and get immediate performance while you think about it. I recommend at least 24GB's of thermal paste. I did and I got at least another 15HP and 22lbs TQ.

Later this year will be so interesting honestly. RTX 5000 series, Battlemage, Ryzen 9000 series....I don't need a new CPU atm but a new GPU would be nice.

Upgrade or wait. I have been asking myself the question since 1999 ;-). Kidding. But true that in the past, I used to think like that.

[@sezwo5774]

Wait a few years! If you are around 55 years old chances become real and dramatically rise with time that your new computer might be your last one. If you keep your machine 8-10 years chances are actuarially 10-15 percent and rise a percentage or so per year that it will be your last. If you are an avid gamer but your favourite game is for example Chess a new machine might not be that urgent.

[@norie3096]

@@sezwo5774 it all depends of the games you are playing. If it's 2024 triple A game, you need a recent build. If it's to play StarCraft 2, it's ok even with a 10 years old config

[@sezwo5774]

@@norie3096 True, but I've yet to see anyone past 50 interested in playing triple A 2024 games. Tech Deals likes to argue financial sense over TIME in investing in a more expensive machine but ignores the fact that for people past 50 or so and who like most of similar age tend to keep their machines longer financial calculations must also take into account the chances, statistical probability, that one is investing in his/her last machine. Pouring too much money may make less sense. Delaying purchase may also be a more optimistic and hopeful course of action! Read: "My likely last computer will not be a 14Gen but an Arrow Lake or even something better." I hope you understand this logic. If you are past age 50 chances are 10-15 percent your new computer will be your last.

[@Sleepingvampires]

I am one of those people with a thirteen year old sandy bridge computer, as my everyday computer. I did build a gaming computer and shared it with my partner eight years ago. I just built a new computer on the AM5 socket, because it had became too painful to use my everyday computer and my partner had taken over the gaming computer, because his computer was just as old. For playing old games they were really good enough, which is what we mostly play, but the bloat of time made everyday tasks harder. I just couldn't bring myself to build with Intel at this time knowing they are going to a new socket, so I picked a lower end AMD chip and will upgrade it when they move on to a new socket. The every day pain became too great for me to wait longer. I am looking forward to playing high end games again.

Lol I got from 3770k to 12600K (early 2023). That doesn't mean I didn't have the money. The technical advancement was just very sub-optimal, so I just didn't want to spent the money. Why should I have upgraded. There was really no reason as the machine at that time already had 8 GB.

Those videos remain a great resource even now. 🙂 However, I never had any interest in your livestreams, other than maybe once or twice where there have been very significant price movements in server-grade hardware and lower-end commodity consumer-grade hardware, which is my personal reason for not engaging with the channel in so long.

Just because new stuff releases doesn't mean there isn't an optimum time to buy. There will always be traffic on the roads, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to just step into the road whenever. There are major release cycles every couple of years that come around consistently, around which time it makes sense to plan a purchase.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Am agreeing with this. Buy the best you can afford and be happy. The release cycles, supply and demand, and things being in stock, then new releases absolutely is a cycle. There will always be a newer and better release in a few months with controlled stock levels more often then not.

Upgraded from the 8700k last week without having seen this, though I'm subscribed. I did not need to buy a GPU, monitors, or storage which helped a lot so I was able to splurge in other areas. Upgraded to a 13700k with an Arctic liquid freezer III 360,64g ddr5 cl30 6000mhz. I game in 1440p on an ultrawide. Very much so still GPU bound with a 3080 ftw3 ultra so my frames haven't increased by much. The responsiveness is very nice , and it's cool seeing the CPU load shaders pretty quickly by comparison under pretty low load and temps. I feel though that I could have sat on that 8700k a generation or two longer though. The difference isn't that crazy for a 1440p gamer and I don't have enough of a workload to make use of it entirely. Mixed feelings about my decision.

Have a 12900k & 3070ti, pushing 1080p high graphics and TSR high (no nanite and rt though) getting 120fps in fortnite. I'd love to keep the settings but get as close to 240fps as possible (monitor is ASUS TUF VG259QM - running 240hz & 8bit+FRC). I'm good at games but not world class so I like nice graphics even with the impact to PC latency. Current CPU usage is about 50-60% in game. Do you think if I keep the 12900k and just upgrade the GPU to a 5080 I will get CPU bottlenecking and not make full use of the GPU?

Waiting for your through review over Intel 15th Gen Motherboards since as a Professional Hardware Consultant from Kolkata, India I do rely over your reviews. Regards A. Mukherjee

I recently upgraded a colleague's pc due support for windows 10 ending next year and windows 11 requiring a platform with tpm 2.0. i7-4770 to a 5600, DDR3 to DDR4, HDD to nvme and motherboard. Total cost price 290 euro's. The performance bump is just staggering across the board. I thought about a zen 4 upgrade, but felt it was a tad costly for what she was looking for and instead settled for zen 3. I am recommending zen 4 for a completely new build, as even though the platform is more expensive, you can go without a GPU if gaming is not the goal. Getting the money back that way. All in all, if you have a PC that is still booting off a HDD, the upgrade to a platform with a nvme drive will absolutely be worth the money.

Me wait until my mobo explode 😔

What gives, Tech Deals team? Hope everything is going OK. I'd love to hear your opinions on this Intel nonsense...

I'm using a 9900k @ 5hz with 4070. ti super. Does basic video editing and 1440p gaming on ultra.

Hey guys, so I just purchased and built a Intel system using the 14th gen i7 14700k, the Nvidia RTX4080 Super and 32gb of G.Skill Trident Zrgb 6400mhz running on a Asrock Z790 Nova wifi 7. I upgraded from the i7 8700k 16gb 3000mhz corsair memory and a 1080ti. I can honestly say it is a nice upgrade according to benchmarks. As far as gaming, it is a nice bump in fps but other than Ray tracing which really bogs down a card. I honestly could have kept the 8700k 1080ti running another 2 years if I had just upgraded my memory to 32gb instead of the 16 I had. This is running on a 34" 3400x1440p monitor that was running ultra in games like far cry 5 and 6 maybe 75-90. Another thing to really consider that you don't hear much about when considering a new pc is the intel 12th-14gen is extremely hot especially running benchmarks. The motherboard manufacturers are running their own optimized default bios settings that are pushing a 1.4 vcore and my i7 14700k is pushing over 380 watts which no standard aio can cool even 360mm aio's are hitting 100c and having the cpu throttle the clocks down. Intel needs to force their default voltages and settings like amd does at least for the default bios. It really sucks to have such a powerful processor burn itself alive because mobo vendors want to get higher benchmarks or run higher ram speeds. Until Intel and the motherboard partners fix these issues I would say wait and see what is coming out in 9 months. Or check out AMD for the time being. The last AMD I owned was the Phenom 2 lol so maybe check them out. 😢 Intel, fix your sh!+.

Why not turnoff OC and run it stock that way it won’t run with the extra voltage and you’ll still get great performance this would be the easiest But if you want to tinker with it then do a under volt to the cpu and find its stability this way you’re the one limiting the voltage gone to the CPU

I have 12600k/rx6800/3070 and was thinking about what an upgrade path could be but I can still play at 1440p high settings 60+fps in pretty much any game even without upscaling, so upgrading is actually pointless
