For real, I can’t see me moving off my AM4 build for another ~3 years at least. Thankfully it works pretty well, except the 5800X is starting to show its age.
Keep things stock and well cooled. I recently changed my fan settings to keep things cooler instead of quiet. Caps shorten their lifespan be half with every 10°C rise in temp so it makes a difference whether the system spends most of the time at 30, 40, 50 or 60 case temp.
Folks, keep your old computers and buy backup parts if you can afford it.

I have a pretty well ventilated case that I clean regularly, I think the case temp is fine. The early PCIe 4.0 SSD is what I am most worried about.
Heatsink it if not heatsinked. Also drop the spedd of the slot or move it to a slower slot. 😆
Heatsinked, but I still feel like some of the early PCIe 4.0 SSDs are less refined than later 4.0/5.0 models.
I am not dropping the speeds (I do video stuff as a hobby and it helps).
