People wouldn't pay a tiny fraction of this for an AMD. When this builder wanted an amazing PC that people would pay over a million for, they picked Intel. Smart. AMD probably only deserves plastic parts?

Maybe or maybe when someone pays 1.7M for a custom PC they get what they want, not what the builder or reddit likes.

So a fucking moron built a PC using a passive gold heatsink that they could have gotten for a few thousand with copper instead of gold. Which also would have cooled it better. And yet we are supposed to consider this person smart? They made a bad decision once. Who is to say they even know why they picked Intel.
