It's basically between me spending 250 on an almost outdated CPU or dropping 650ish for the Ryzen stuff, plus a new case, since I'm way over microATX

Openhardwaremonitor will show you load as well as temp

Years before their Rage cards came out, one time at a local Korean BBQ restaurant a bunch of ATI folks were sitting at a table across from us, and one dude had a Mach128 t-shirt on. Of cuz again nobody believed me at school the next day.

Do that ^^^ and monitor your load (full homo).

Try it on a few games you play often.
