[SOLVED] Upgrade to better handle VR

[Quickless]

Sup,

I have had an oculus rift since 2017, I dont know if I should upgrade to Rift S, but thats not the point(You can tell me if u want to tho 😉 ). I'm making this thread today because Im starting to get back into vr gaming after leaving my rift untouched for almost 3 years. And I can run games fine, its just the stress of vr games on things like my CPU tend to ramp up the heat. Causing sudden crashes every few hours of vr gaming. One time while unplugging my rift and its sensors. I got a power overload error for my usb ports lol. I'm just wondering. Should I upgrade, and if so, what shall I upgrade that part to, and/or if i should upgrade coolers.

Gpu upgrade is the thing that will most help you


Also
Don't get a new board, since that will require a new cpu.

Just get an add in usb card.

I have a usb 3.0 expansion thingy that plugs into an existing 3.0 usb port and supplies 4 more, will that work?

no, thats a hub.

im talking about a pci-e expansion card (like where your graphics card goes)

If you already have it, yes, that will work fine. You can use a USB 2.0 device in a USB 3.0 port.

Just unplugged my oculus stuff and plugged in my usb 3.0 hub, pc instantly shut off when the usb was halfway in, lol. Also, I have 350 dollars on amazon, so i guess thats my budget ¯\(ツ)/¯
