I'm not buying a new CPU, I'm doing this instead
These tips can improve performance without buying a new CPU

I'm still happy with my AM4 gaming PC, using a Ryzen 7 5700X paired with an RTX 3080 for three years now. Upgrading my CPU isn't on the cards right now, since I'm still able to play the latest titles at a respectable FPS, and I don't run a ton of productivity workloads. Instead of buying a new AM5 chip, I have decided to devote more time to extracting the most out of my "dead" AM4 platform. I can extend my CPU's lifespan while doing more with it than I ever did before.
