Where would you spend $$$...new CPU or a GPU water block?

I saved this graph a while back when someone in this forum posted their 5600X to 5800X3D upgrade experience in MSFS VR:

As you can see, negligible improvement in average FPS but a notable improvement in 1% and 0.1% lows in some cases. ie. similar FPS but smoother after the upgrade. The improvement coming from a 5800X instead of a 5600X would be even less.

That graph really doesn’t pertain to @BegottenPoet228 situation as he is not doing VR. While I agree that the upgrade from a 5800x to a 5800x3D will be minimal for VR it’s going to be much more significant for non-VR.

This is after 30 minutes with Live weather flying over mountains at 11,000 ft. in my Bonanza (2D @ 1440P.) Your analysis is welcomed.

Wow - I wish I had those low temps!
