So on the weekend we did some upgrades. My oldest kid was swapping out CPU, so I realized... spare cpu, spare SSD, spare GPU, and I've got crappy old RAM in my box. Upgrade RAM on my machine and I just need mobo, psu, and case for a new PC for my middle kid. #BuildaPC ...

Okay, #BuildaPC BSky, just upgraded CPU in my teenaged son's computer... And the old cpu came out with the cooler *very* firmly attached. I'm planning to use the old cpu to build a new PC for my younger kids. Do I need to pull off the cooler or is it okay to install them together as one unit?

Is a CPU bottleneck really that bad?

New battle station is together. There's a vertical RGB strip next to the side intake fans that isn't lit up, and I've got an adapter coming tomorrow that will let me sync the GPU RGB with all the rest of it, so hopefully I can fix the strip while installing the adapter.

Pretty pleased with the build though. It's running much cooler and quieter than my AM4 build was. I still need to do some BIOS tweaks, run benchmarks, memtest86, etc.

Storage out the ass on this. Plan is to have two drives for each OS and dual-boot Windows 11 and CachyOS.

Considering a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q for use as a discrete HTPC / SteamLink console. Is this a good idea? Does anyone here have any experience with these?
