I feel that way about my GPU for normal gaming use. Now I’m afraid of it dying on me.
- KronisLV 2mo agoI’m currently hoping that my Intel Arc B580 doesn’t die on me cause even a 5060 Ti 16 GB has reached like 700 EUR price over here. I don’t think the prices will get better anytime soon. Same with my M1 Air for being on the move, even notebooks would be more expensive than they’re worth.
- drob518 2mo agoI’m milking my M1 Air, too. It’s still going strong, and I just can’t justify replacing it. Would love 64GB or more memory, though.
- garbageman 2mo agoI got an essentially free upgrade from an M1 air to an M4 air and let me tell you...there is zero difference in day to day usage. You've got another 5+ years of headroom at least.
- drob518 2mo agoYep, for cpu I’m sure that’s true. It isn’t often that I wish the M1 was faster. But I need more memory. 16 GB was fine five years ago, but it’s getting cramped for me now.
- Atotalnoob 2mo agoConsider underclocking/undervolt it a little, especially if you aren’t using the GPU to its full potential. It will last longer and hopefully the GPU prices will recover in a few years. I hope
- frollogaston 2mo agoI don't really care about gaming, but there's a PC I got for free a while back with a 2060ti that overheats if I don't peg the fans at 100% and keep the case open. Would be nice if that holds on.
- trq01758 2mo agoThis problem is solvable with a screwdriver, a bit of isopropyl alcohol, a cloth, new thermal paste and some time.
- frollogaston 2mo agoProbably, but I'd rather not mess with it unless it stops working as-is. I've done CPU re-pasting before but not GPU.
