I used a Thermaltake PA120 SE cooler and 16GB of Gskill 3600 Cas 16 memory. I added an Intek Perf Plus M2 drive.
This replaces a 3700x on an AsRock K4 X370 MB. I'm happy to finally have a new MB as the X370 couldn't reach 3200 memory speed and had only one PCIE3x4 slot (the other was x2). My 3070Ti, Case, PS, and a few drives moved over.
I haven't gamed yet and honestly don't expect to notice any change.
I was expecting 80% improvement with encoding though. With Handbrake I only see 50%-75% speed improvement over the 3700x. Ah well. Its still nice to have newer HW and a fresh Windows install. Its been awhile.
