Ok, so I have a system, intel i7-7700K, which I don’t OverClock because I like lower temps and longer CPU life and haven’t noticed any CPU bottlenecks. I currently have a ROG STRIX 1080 in this computer with a InWin case. Airflow isn’t that great; I think it’s a InWin 805. I have all the full PC specs if needed.
As a preface, I just acquired a 3080 ti to upgrade my computer and a new AIO Corsair H115 just in case my current Corsair H115 is degrading in performance (approx 3 years old and seeing an increase in CPU temps, about 10 degrees C, 56C under load to about 66C under load). Bought new Kryonaut thermal paste to install the new AIO.
Then, a few days later, a friend offered me to buy his PC for a really good deal. So I bought it. It has a Ryzen 9 3900X with a LianLi O11 Dynamic Case.
Should I put the new EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 ti in my current i7-7700k binned @ 5.2 GHz and delidded by SiliconLottery, build or put it in the Ryzen 9 3900X? I’ve put a lot of time & thought into my i7 build, that’s why I’m reluctant.
Both PCs have similar specs aside from the processor and case. Corsair RAM, plenty of power PSU-wise. Although, the LianLi has a 360mm AIO radiator and my i7 build has a 280mm AIO. Which probably isn’t too important because from my understanding Ryzen CPU’s don’t get as hot as my i7-7700K.
