Six year old PC upgrade

My PC was long over due an upgrade, hadn't even changed the thermal paste every two years as you're supposed to, so it must have slowed down or run hotter over time.

I was running a Asus crosshair VII  Hero Motherboard with an AMD 2700x 8 core 16 thread CPU and 16GB of 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM 

I seen on Amazon that the AMD 5950x 16 core 32 threads  CPU was on offer for under £300, so decided to upgrade along with 64GB of CL16 DDR4 3200Mhz RAM (CL16 works out OK as it is a multiple of the base clock)

It now runs over 3800 Mhz with peaks up to 4500 Mhz, I have a Corsair AIO watercooler so that does the job, TEMPS not exceeding  72c on test with all 32 threads running flat out.

I originally included a 850W gold PSU in my build, to allow for upgrades later and had some Artic thermal paste from a previous PC

The Upgrade cost £406,  so that will have to do for another lot of years.  It's amazing  how fast the PC now runs.   Sticking with Windows 10 for now
