Taking into account some relatively minor issues, my machine has handled everything I&#8217;ve thrown at it up until two weeks ago. There, I found the limits and realized that, at long last, the time had come. Finally, just after a decade with this machine, it is time to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Beast Abides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This build has been nothing less than amazing to me. No other PC I&#8217;ve owned lasted more than about four years before I replaced it. The quick progress of technology usually had me feeling like I was behind the curve in two or three years. With a few minor upgrades, &#8220;The Beast&#8221; held it&#8217;s own and has been running some high speed software without blinking. Now, it is time to move on as the motherboard is slowly giving up the ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USB ports are slowly dying, no longer able to consistently stay connected. Paying careful attention, I could see differences in the time routine processes were taking. Advice was consistent: Update drivers and hope for the best. Then I discovered that half of my RAM was no longer being recognized. Some testing followed and it became very clear that it is time to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upgrade Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am writing this post on my old PC which is working fine until I stress it with specific processes. It will be used elsewhere for a while, probably getting an upgrade suitable for a new role. Meanwhile, I am gathering the parts to build a new machine, one designed to tackle my creative needs. For the curious and likely more technical people out there, the main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator motherboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intel i7-13700K CPU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corsair 4000D Airflow Mid-Tower case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am hoping to get the final part, a power supply, today. Once built, I&#8217;ll spend a bit of time migrating everything from the old PC to the new build. Then comes the mandatory playing, uh, I mean testing, to make sure everything is working properly. This will delay a few projects I am working on, but should set me up for a refined photography workflow. I small hiccup in the daily routine to empower me to discover how technology has advanced over the last decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, please hold while I handle this technical obstacle. I&#8217;ll be back very quickly to the routine. In the meantime, if you want to support yours truly in his endeavors, I&#8217;m always ready to consider your photography needs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It turns out that playing with a new toy did a marvelous job of revealing the shortcomings of a ten-year&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-admin","category-gear","wpcat-6-id","wpcat-29-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Upgrade In Progress, Please Hold &#8226; Anything But Ordinary<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The time has finally come to bid adieu to my decade old PC.
