I've got 2 of them and they're still kicking and screaming to this day. Both have 5800X's running in them and they haven't skipped a beat.

PM'ed question regarding PAC-MAN 256..

If it wasn't for the battery dying, I'd still be using my original Pixel XL.. Got a refurb Pixel 3 XL for $500. So far it's a great phone. I thought I'd miss the analog port more than I am, but I bought a nice set of bluetooth headsets and all is well so far...

I'll take a 10% increase in IPC Performance... An increase is an increase..

I originally bought my X370 for my 1700X, and when I upgraded to the 2700X, I also bought a X470 mobo to go with it. I had planned on migrating the 2700X to the X370 for the wife, and get another motherboard for the 1700X to put in use for the kids machine. As long as I can use the 3xxx chips...

Thank you Paul for all the years of quality reviews! Best of luck to you in the future, and be sure to keep us posted on where you land next. If it's gonna be reviewing shit, I'm in.

My wife's rebuild will be an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X (coming from a 4650k). She won't be missing Intel in the slightest.. Then my kids will get rebuilds of the same 2600X's (replacing 2500k's). Again, they won't know the difference. Meanwhile I'll be saving a bundle.

I waiting for them to put micro-transactions into Minesweeper. Gotta make that money yo!
