Potential improvement check your PC case cooling/vents add some fans too improve airflow if possible

Depending on your gpu vendor and cooling system this could be just how it works under ~100% load(especially if it is blowing type cooling), it will be definitely safe do not fear it, will not explode gpu will underclock itself if it is too hot and you would feel it by slow downs/stutters

Will double that number for you ;)

Yeah planning to do it third time now

Overall it was way to hard to even come close to shadowbringers/endwalker story wise, was not expecting it going too good, was not disappointed it gives hope for future. Break makes sense you can rush it later when needed :D

I think the biggest issues is the story pacing, concept wise first part is ok, but it goes too slow with some nice moments. Second part is opposite I think it goes sometimes too fast and creates a lot of gaps and feels repetitive vs Endwalker too.

Rest of expansion like raids and dungs are great

After latest news's about MS pushing Recall into normal x86 Win11 explorer I am considering changing my main PC to dual boot, sucks that anti cheat games not gonna work I think this is one of last blockers for me. Will try librewolf too, was testing ARC recently but tabs are crashing way too often

When upgraded from your Intel to new Intel it would follow very similiar path like AMD: new motherboard, RAM and CPU.

For AMD upgrade on budget I would suggest: AM4 mobo, 16GB DDR4 RAM and Ryznen 7 5800X3D or if tighter spot then anything like 5600x or 5700x or 5700x3d.
